Who is Fred Savage?
During a May 4 “Netflix is a Joke” event, Mike Myers shared some fond memories of filming “Austin Powers in Goldmember.” Per The Hollywood Reporter, he spoke about Beyoncé, saying that everyone working on the movie “fell in love with her,” and he compared her to the Obamas. “They exude molecules that take the shape of their persona,” he said of the performer and the former first family.
Myers also reminisced about how he introduced Beyoncé to the legendary rock group Led Zeppelin. He previously shared the story on CBS News in 2014, saying that the film crew was sitting in a car jamming out to the band when Beyoncé asked them who they were listening to. He told her, and she admitted that she’d never heard of Led Zeppelin. “And the whole crew was like, ‘Aww, that’s so adorable!'” Myers recalled. “Next day, she had her earphones [on], and I said, ‘What are you listening to?’ She goes, ‘Led Zeppelin. They’re fantastic!'” According to Myers, this absolutely delighted the crew.
Myers has had nothing but praise for his former co-star, telling Newsweek in 2002, “She came to the set prepared in every way, every day.” In other words, Queen Bey was never being told, “Oh, behave!” And Beyoncé has returned the love. She told the Daily Record that working on “Goldmember” was “one of the greatest experiences of my life,” adding, “Mike Myers was really great and helped me so much.”
