Same Old Love video inspired by Tony Bennett!

7 Facts You Didn’t Know About Selena Gomez’s ‘Same Old Love’ Video:
We got on the phone with Michael Haussman, who directed “Same Old Love” — along with Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack,” Madonna’s “Take A Bow,” Kanye West’s “Jesus Walks” Shakira - La Tortura and more — to get the behind-the-scenes stories that went into the carefully crafted visual.
Here a seven facts you might not have known about the “Same Old Love” video:
1. Selena was originally going to stay in the car the whole time.
“The first time I wrote it, I wrote it that she was in the car the whole time,” Haussman said, then explaining why he changed his mind. “And to me there seemed to be an elitist disconnect from the world if she did that. … There’s a certain moment when she disconnects and she gets out of the car just to have her own space — to walk, to move, to rub against people, you know.”
2. It was inspired by Tony Bennett.
“I remember when Tony Bennett — his daughter and I were friends in New York — was giving a show at Radio City and he was leaving and said, ’You guys can take the car.’ And we were like ’What?! What do you mean take the car?’ He always walked to his shows, just walk through the door, and he’d never take the car. That always stuck in my head too.”
3. It was supposed to be two parts.
“What started as a way just to get people to come in [to shoot the video] became, ’Let’s just finish the last chorus.’ If it’s going to be people [as extras], let’s not just do people, let’s have fans. And if it’s fans, let’s have them come to see something. You know how things work and they just kind of snowball into something.”
4. The performance shots were filmed ahead of time.
“On [Revival event] day, funny enough, there’s nothing I can do,” he said. “I can’t direct a live event, you know what I mean? What happens is going to happen.”
5. The stage curtain is supposed to resemble the car window.
“The back drop on the stage was all sequins so it kind of felt like the raindrops on the window so it was out of focus, you know, colors and things like that. Amber colors.”
6. Selena’s inspiration is shared human experience.
“I think that her inspiration is kind of seeing that and all of humanity and feel like, ’OK, I’m not the only one,'” Haussman said. “I think we always get some kind of solace out sharing the experience. I know I have. Like if I ever had a split-up and it was heart-wrenching, to hear other people telling me about theirs, I always feel so much better.”
7. Selena’s acting background makes everything easier — just like Justin Timberlake.
“I think she has a stronger discipline than others,” he said, comparing her to Timberlake and their Disney come-up. “It’s funny because Justin was also part of that Disney clan, but a couple of generations after or earlier. Yeah, man, all of those guys have such strong discipline when it comes to acting and stage presence. They’re always on top.”
