Legendary comic actor Steve Martin<\/strong> may not seem like the type to listen to current music, but he’s all over\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>‘s “Texas Hold ‘Em<\/strong><\/a>,” from her new album, Cowboy Carter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Access Hollywood<\/strong><\/em>,<\/strong><\/a> the Only Murders in the Building<\/em> star called the song “fantastic,” especially because, as a banjo player himself, he’s a huge fan of the woman who plays the instrument on the song: Rhiannon Giddens<\/strong>. “[She’s] one of the great banjo players,” Martin raves.<\/p>\n

“And I kissed Beyonc\u00e9,” Martin noted. “In Pink Panther<\/em>, I kissed\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9. I’m a very lucky man.”<\/p>\n

He then changed his story: “I can’t remember if we kissed or just stared into each other’s eyes.”<\/p>\n

If you’re not familiar, Martin was talking about the 2006 movie The Pink Panther<\/em>, which starred Martin as bumbling detective Jacques Clouseau and\u00a0Beyonc\u00e9 as Xania, a pop star who’s the girlfriend of the man whose murder Clouseau is investigating.<\/p>\n

That wasn’t the only pop star Martin discussed in the interview: Referring to another one of Martin’s movies, the interviewer asked him if he’d want to serve as Father of the Bride<\/em> if his Only Murders<\/em> co-star Selena Gomez<\/strong> marries her boyfriend,\u00a0Benny Blanco<\/strong>. He avoided the question, but when asked if he’d officiate this hypothetical wedding, he joked, “Well, I’d certainly keep score.”<\/p>\n
