Chance The Rapper recalled a kind gesture between Saturday Night Live legend Martin Short and his daughter, Kensli Bennett.

The music star – real name Chancelor Johnathan Bennett – shared the touching story after a flight he shared with the Only Murders In The Building actor.

Chance said the actor immediately gave up his seat for his seven-year-old daughter Kensli, so that they could sit together.

‘So I just got on this plane with my daughter, and found out our seats weren’t next to each other. I really ain’t wanna inconvenience anyone by asking them to swap seats, but before I could say anything this kind older gentleman offered his seat to Kensli so we could sit together,’ he wrote.

‘We both said thank you and as he stands up, I realize it’s THE Martin Short!! So cool and Kensli freaked out cause she’s obsessed with The Santa Clause 3.’ the rapper added on Twitter.

He ended the post by thanking Short once more, signing off: ‘Shoutout to Jack Frost’.

Short made an appearance at this year’s Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards ceremony on Sunday following his Best Male Actor nomination for his role as Oliver Putnam in Hulu’s Only Murders In The Building.

He opened the ceremony alongside co-stars Selena Gomez and Steve Martin in a hilarious Banshees of Inisherin-inspired skit.

The sketch begins with Short, 72, asking Martin, 77, if he wants to watch the awards ceremony, to which he declines.

Short comments that his friend has seemed off all day, to which Martin tells him he no longer wants to be friends.

‘But we’ve been best friends – well, pretend show-business best friends – for years,’ a shocked Short replies ‘There’s no one I feel fake closer to.’

Martin repeatedly tells Short to ”Just move your feckin’ chair away,’ in reference to the critically-acclaimed blockbuster Banshees Of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.

Gomez enters the room asking the pair what is wrong, before Martin reveals they are nominated in the same category.

The leading lady, 30, reassures her co-stars before telling them ‘you’re both obviously going to lose.’

And it turns out Gomez was right, with Short and Martin both losing out to The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White for the top title.
