Louisa Jacobson, the daughter of Meryl Streep, has expressed what she feels about Martin Short amid his rumoured romantic relationship with her mother.
While giving an interview to Elle the 33-year-old American actress was asked about Short, to which she replied, “I don’t know him super well,” but he is a “great, great guy.”
Notably, Jacobson did not elaborate on the nature of her mother’s relationship with the 75-year-old Hollywood actor.
For the unversed, Streep and Short are currently filming the hit Hulu series Only Murders in the Building in New York. They got to know each other on the show’s set and soon started spending time together.
Their characters, Loretta Durkin and Oliver Putnam, also tied the knot with each other in season 4, which aired last year on August 27.
However, after tying the knot with Putnam, Durkin left to find a job. The creator shed light on her decision in a talk with Hollywood Reporter.
He explained, “There are a lot of reasons [for that decision]. I’ll cop to that for sure. But I think, ultimately, I delighted in it, and we said yes to it because it felt like a funny, believable thing now. If you’re working in TV and film, again, it’s a little bit of a tweaking joke to the industry that overseas is cheaper, or overseas makes sense, or overseas is fresher.”
“Things are happening like that all the time around productions that are either just getting going or are making a move, or whatever they can do to hold on to things and keep the costs down. So a little bit of that wink was a part of that decision.”
“The whole idea of an unconventional relationship and her sensing, ‘You’re going to come to New Zealand and this could very well be the end of this beautiful marriage.’ Her knowing that about him and saying, ‘Let’s roll with this.’ It’s a beautifully sweet and heartbreaking scene. It is very adult to make a call like that,” Hoffman added.
