Meryl Streep eyes stage reunion with Martin Short after 'Only Murders in the Building'

Meryl Streep wants a Broadway return and has discussed a potential stage collaboration with her 'Only Murders' co-star Martin Short.

"We were thinking that would be fun to do something together. - Meryl Streep"

Washington DC, April 21

Oscar-winning actor Meryl Streep has expressed interest in returning to the stage and hinted at a possible collaboration with her 'Only Murders in the Building' co-star Martin Short, according to People.

While appearing on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live alongside 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' costars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, Meryl said she would "love" to go back to Broadway, recalling her early theatre career in the 1970s.

She revealed that she has already discussed the idea with Short, adding, "We were thinking that would be fun to do something together." However, she clarified that no official plans have been finalised yet.

The actors built a strong rapport while working together on the popular series, where Streep joined the cast in 2023 as Loretta Durkin, a Broadway performer and the love interest of Short's character, Oliver Putnam. Their on-screen chemistry quickly became a highlight for viewers, according to People.

Short has often spoken highly of Streep, praising her humility and professionalism despite her record 21 Academy Award nominations. He previously said that what stands out most about her is "how easy she is" and described her as "so polite and fun and generous."

"She has a right to be a diva. And she's just so polite and fun and generous," he added, according to People.

Rumours about a possible off-screen romance between the two have circulated since their appearance on the show, but both actors have consistently denied such speculation, maintaining that they share a close friendship.

During the same interview, Streep also addressed long-standing questions about whether she would write a memoir. She dismissed the idea, saying, "Nope, too boring," but shared that she enjoys reading memoirs by fellow artists, including Barbra Streisand, according to People.

It's refreshing to see such mutual respect between co-stars, especially at that level of fame. No drama, just professionalism and friendship. More Bollywood stars could learn from this instead of the constant rivalry we often see.

As an NRI who grew up watching her films, Meryl returning to Broadway would be a dream. But I do wish the media would stop with the romance rumours. Can't a man and a woman just be great friends and colleagues? It's 2024.

No memoir? That's actually a bit disappointing. Her career spans decades and she's seen so much change in Hollywood. It would be a fascinating read, especially for aspiring actors everywhere, including here in India.

Love this! Their dynamic is so much fun. Reminds me of some of our iconic Jodi's in Indian cinema - like SRK and Kajol, but with a different energy. Hope they finalise the plans soon. Would watch anything they do together!

Respectfully, while I admire their talent, I find the constant media coverage of every hint or rumour from Western celebrities a bit excessive. We have incredible stage actors in India doing brilliant work that deserves this level of spotlight too.
