We shot until about two in the morning on the most gorgeous night in Manhattan,” he told Decider. “I got off to gangplank there and Meryl was waiting and she had tears in her eyes and she said, ‘I just had to wait here for you to get off the boat to say thank you.’ And I was like, ‘What?’ and she said, ‘I just got to play a scene I really thought that the likes of which I wouldn’t have a chance to do.

To play romantic scenes at this age with this band in this way, it’s just the greatest thing ever.’” “That felt like one of the most gratifying things,” John added. “And I kept on thinking like, ‘I hope the world falls in love with this couple the way we all are.’ And that is so due to the magic that they create together.” Meryl‘s romantic scenes with co-star Martin Short have not stopped on-screen as the two are rumored to be dating in real life, though both have denied a romantic relationship.
