Turns out Bill Murray is a big Selena Gomez fan — although, he never thought he would be.
He admitted that he had some reservations about pop-stars in general, but was pleasantly surprised by his impression of Selena.

Sure, they're both famous. But their paths crossing doesn't spring to mind that easily.
Alongside Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Steve Buscemi, and many others.
They all attended the Cannes Film Festival in support of the film.
The internet couldn't handle it.
I couldn't handle it.
This wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But it was definitely a shock?
There had to be some kind of reasonable explanation — not that I would be opposed to them dating, more power to them if they are...?
Just initially seemed inconceivable.
She posted a few red carpet photos from the festival, one of which included herself blowing a kiss at Bill.
Wait for it...
If she was looking to get a rise out of fans — it worked.
I've already started planning the wedding.
Well, frankly, he was into it.
He called Selena the kind of girl he would take home to meet his mother — if she were still alive.
“I don’t remember what I said. I was trying to keep her at ease," he said.
Likely story, Bill...
“I really like her,” he said. "She’s unusually bright. She’s kind and she’s natural.”
He went on, explaining that he had some preconceptions about her beforehand — knowing what an Instagram sensation she is, but learned that he misjudged her.
"Maybe, I probably thought she was different than she turned out to be.”
It's Selena Gomez, how can anybody not like her, amirite?
At least we know Bill has excellent taste in people.
He then jokingly added, “‘Mother. I want you to meet Selena.'”
That's just about the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
“Like Miley Cyrus,” he said. “I dig that chick.”
Bill and Miley worked together on Sofia Coppola's Christmas special, A Very Murray Christmas, back in 2015.
“They have enormous followings, and they are sort of singing their own songs. Which is cool.” That 'sort of' might be a little shady, but we'll let it slide this time, Bill.
Bill said they “triumphed over [child stardom], and survived whatever kind of family situation they had, too, which can also be challenging.”
How sweet!
Move over Taylor Swift & the girl gang, there's a new squad I want to be a part of, and it only has two members in it.
I have my fingers crossed for a Bill Murray feature on the next Selena album.
