Forty years after starring together, Golden Globe nominee Chevy Chase says he wants to reunite with his old “The Three Amigos” cast mates.
Chase starred in the 1986 original alongside comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short. The latter two, of course, have had major success in recent years with their Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building,” which gets a London-set sixth season later this year.
Several years ago, the show’s executive producer, John Hoffman, was asked about Chase potentially guest-starring, but he deflected at the time. Now, People reports that during a recent appearance, Chase talked about re-teaming with his co-stars:
“Right now they’re busy on TV making that’lI only have murders in my building… It’s a good show. Yes, it’s good, they’re good, but they really are lacking me. That’s where we gotta get going. … If you really want to have a movie with Steve and Marty, you have to have me. I miss them, that’s all I’m saying. I really miss them, they’re great.”
The comments come as the now 82-year-old Chase is getting a lot of attention this week for filmmaker Marina Zenovich’s “I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not” documentary which covers everything from his dark childhood, SNL and film success, the messy “Community” kerfuffle and more.
