The Curious Case of Steve Martin’s Texts: Why He Always Introduces Himself
Hello there, I’m Jordan Collins, your go-to guide for all things celebrity gossip. I suppose I need to explain why Steve Martin’s texting habits have been making headlines lately. You see, the 80-year-old actor has a peculiar way of starting conversations with his friends, including Selena Gomez – he always reintroduces himself.
According to an exclusive interview with E! News’ Will Marfuggi, Steve Martin revealed that he likes to identify himself in text messages, even with close pals like Selena Gomez and Martin Short. His reasoning? “In case my number doesn’t come up,” he said with a chuckle. It’s quite relatable, really. Who hasn’t received a text from an unknown number and wondered who on earth it was from?
Steve’s approach to texting is actually quite practical. Since he doesn’t always have other people’s phone numbers saved, he feels that introducing himself can be helpful. As for what he messages to Selena, despite her likely having his phone number in her contacts? He simply says, “I go, ‘It’s Steve.'” One can only imagine Selena’s reaction to receiving yet another “hello” from Steve.
Despite Steve’s quirky texting habits, it’s clear that he and Selena have developed a strong bond over the years. The two have been working together on the hit series Only Murders in the Building for five years now, and Selena couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. “It’s been a blast and every year, I feel that we get closer and then it’s just stronger, and the episodes get richer and funnier,” she told E! News. “I feel really fortunate and blessed.”
The chemistry between Steve, Selena, and Martin Short is undeniable, and it’s no surprise that their show has been a huge success. Season five of Only Murders in the Building is set to premiere on Hulu on September 9, with new episodes weekly, and it’s promising to be just as exciting as the previous installments. The series will feature a slew of guest stars, including Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Meryl Streep, and Nathan Lane.
Steve Martin is clearly a fan of Selena’s, and it’s not hard to see why. He gushed about her in an interview with E! News last August, saying, “When we first met Selena, she was already self-possessed and dignified and sophisticated… So, if anything, we’ve just seen that creep up a little bit, as it should with maturity.” It’s clear that Steve has a deep respect for Selena, and the feeling is mutual.
As for what’s next on TV, there are plenty of exciting shows premiering this year. The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a prequel series to The Terminal List, dropped on Prime Video on August 27. The show follows Taylor Kitsch’s character, Ben Edwards, as he navigates the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. My Life With the Walter Boys, a Netflix series, premiered on August 28 and follows Jackie Howard as she returns to Silver Falls and tries to reconnect with her friends.
KPOPPED, an Apple TV+ series starring Psy and Megan Thee Stallion, premiered on August 29 and promises to be a wild ride. With so many great shows to choose from, it’s no wonder that TV fans are spoiled for choice.
In conclusion, Steve Martin’s texting habits may seem quirky, but they’re a reminder that even the most famous people have their own unique ways of communicating. And who knows? Maybe one day, we’ll all be introducing ourselves in texts, just like Steve.
Glad I could clear that up for you.
