Meryl Streep and Martin Short Are Making This Way Too Much Fun

As someone who grew up in the golden era of Hollywood, I can confidently say that Meryl Streep and Martin Short‘s dynamic is as captivating as it gets. Their playful banter, their public appearances, and their secretive yet tantalizing encounters have all the makings of a classic Hollywood romance – one that would make even the likes of Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant blush.

In nearly every picture featuring Meryl Streep and Martin Short, they’re both flashing genuine smiles, not mere courtesy grins but wide, knowing ones, revealing their teeth and causing their eyes to crinkle. It seems as though Martin is sharing some anecdote about Jiminy Glick, but it appears to be more than that. There’s a certain camaraderie between them – something they seem to understand and we don’t. Or perhaps we do: how convincing are two talented actors at feigning affection? Even one who is widely regarded as the greatest living actor? So, either they’re secretly dating or they’re simply teasing us with their laughter. They even share a smile in Steve Martin’s Instagram post, where he posted a picture of the three of them with a large “NO” symbol using his own face as the symbol.

The romantic situation between them, some might call it a pretense, started earlier this year at the Golden Globes. They were seen together, holding hands and whispering, which could be interpreted as flirting. Whether Selena Gomez was sharing this with Taylor Swift remains unclear, but I have my suspicions.

A subtle connection between Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd didn’t appear overly unusual when gossip started circulating; they had recently concluded an on-screen romance during the third season of “Only Murders in the Building” and had been friends for quite some time. The fact that Streep was single at the time might have added a hint of intrigue initially, but it soon became clear that their friendship was all there was to it. Shortly after the Golden Globes, Rudd clarified to Bill Maher – an unexpected source – that they were merely friends. If they were indeed starting a new relationship, “Club Random” would not have been the ideal venue for such a revelation. The gossip could have easily been laid to rest if Streep and Rudd hadn’t continued to attend various Hollywood events together, including Giorgi Baldi and the premiere of “Only Murders in the Building” season four – admittedly, this one is quite straightforward.

Instead of following the script of typical movies like “Book Club,” Meryl Streep and Jamie Dornan appear to mimic the enigmatic personas of celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, or Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan. By cultivating an aura of intrigue, they have successfully captivated everyone’s attention. They exude an appealing ‘cool’ factor that is evident in their public outings like dining together and attending Broadway shows. Their actions, whether real or staged, have given them the power to shape their own narrative (if there is one!). Their constant denials and frequent appearances are not just for their usual fanbase; they are catering to a younger generation who thrive on celebrity gossip, akin to the DeuxMoi demographic.

The series “Only Murders in the Building” brings together diverse demographics, featuring two renowned comedians (Short and Martin) alongside Selena Gomez, who was once the most-followed individual on Instagram (currently third overall but still number one among women). Despite Gomez’s fame and comedic background, the real-life romantic tension between Streep and Short adds an unexpected twist. This dynamic, where friends transition into colleagues and something more, carries a certain youthful charm, reminiscent of fan fiction or internet stories for computer solitaire enthusiasts. However, what truly sets this show apart is its sheer fun factor. Steve Martin, known for his humor and versatility, and Meryl Streep, with her timeless elegance, wit, and occasional comedy, have made them the most sought-after actors of the past half-century. Watching their interactions is a delight, and it’s clear that they enjoy each other’s company as well.
