The secret is out!
Last month,Selena GomezandBill Murraywent viral after the 68-year-old actor wassnapped whispering somethingto Gomez, 26, while the pair walked the red carpet for their upcoming zombie thrillerThe Dead Don’t Dieat the Cannes Film Festival.
Gomez finally revealed onTheTonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallonon Tuesday night exactly what Murray had said to her.
“First off-that just kind of looks weird,” Gomez began about the viral image of them to hostJimmy Fallon.
“He was just saying dumb things,” she added. “He would just lean in and be like, ‘You look great tonight.’ And then he’d look back serious and be like, ‘Where are you from?'”
Fallon laughed at the singer’s explanation, while she continued, “I would just sit there trying to be poised.”

Gomez went on to explain that this was typical joking behavior for Murray.
“He’d try to hit me with things,” she said. “Yeah, he’s fun. He’s a big kid.”
At the beginning of the interview, the “It Ain’t Me” singer explained to Fallon that while she didn’t know the film’s director Jim Jarmusch prior to their new film, he reached out to her to include her in the project.
“He asked if I would have coffee with him, and he brought up his daughter, and we talked about how she was a fan, which was so nice,” she recalled.
During the film’s premiere last month at Cannes, Murray applauded Gomez, who has relatively stayed absent from public appearances since shecompleted treatment following her hospitalizationlate last year.

“I really like her,” he said. “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.”
Murray added, “I’m always pleased to find some kind of pop icon who I really like.”
The Dead Don’t Die— which also starsAdam Driver,Tilda Swinton, andChloe Sevigny— is in theaters Friday.
