30 June: “I feel like Mabel is an older version of Alex in a way”, says Selena in the new interview with EW

In the new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Selena says that her character Mabel Mora from Only Murders In The Building, is just an older version of her alter ego Alex Russo!

“We would have these freedom takes where they would throw something at me,” Gomez explains to The Awardist of improvising with costars Steve Martin and Martin Short, “and my reaction was honestly what I think my character would do because half the time I’m like, I don’t get what you’re trying to do, but it works. … She’s rubbed off on me a little bit. I love being quick, and I kind of steal Steve and Marty’s jokes every now and then. She’s fun.”

“I feel like Mabel is an older version of Alex in a way,” she says, laughing. “I adored being on that show so much. I felt like I did learn a lot. We actually had great writers — we had two writers that were on Friends — and we had an incredible director that we used for most of our seasons. We got really lucky. I still look back at that and laugh at certain things just because I thought it was so fun, and we tried.”
