At theCannes Film Festivalpremiere of the movie in May, Murray raved about Gomez.
“I really like her,” he toldVanity Fair. “I mean, you still can’t tell me who the hellSelena Gomezis — but Gomez I really like. She’s unusually bright. She’s kind and she’s natural.”
“I’m always pleased to find some kind of pop icon who I really like,” he said, comparing Gomez to Miley Cyrus, with whom he previously worked. “They’re really their own people. They have enormous followings, and they are sort of singing their own songs. Which is cool.”

Murray had more similarly sweet things to say about Gomez to PEOPLE on Monday night.
“I learned that I like her,” he said. “I learned that whatever preconception I had about someone that had 55 million, billion followers of something — maybe, I probably thought she was different than she turned out to be.”
“I enjoyed her very much,” the actor, who wore two layered shirts underneath a brown striped sport coat and gray pants, added. “I like her very much.”
In fact, Murray said he liked Gomez so much that if he had known her years ago, he would’ve introduced the “Wolves” singer to his late mother.
“If my mother were alive I’d bring her home to her,” quipped Murray, before jokingly acting out the meeting, “‘Mother. I want you to meet Selena.’”
The Dead Don’t Diehis theaters Friday.
