Gwyneth Paltrow Opens Up About Steamy Scenes with Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme
Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t holding back when it comes to discussing her intimate scenes with Timothée Chalamet in the upcoming film Marty Supreme.
“I was like, ‘Okay, great. I’m 109 years old. You’re 14,’” Paltrow, 52, joked in a recent Vanity Fair interview, referencing their age gap with her signature humor.
A Bold New Role for Paltrow
Directed by Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme is loosely based on the life of legendary table tennis champion Martin “Marty” Reisman. Paltrow plays a woman married to a powerful figure in what she calls the “Ping-Pong mafia,” who crosses paths with Chalamet’s Marty.
“They meet, and she’s had a pretty tough life,” Paltrow revealed. “I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”
That transaction involves plenty of intimacy. “There’s a lot — a lot of sex in this movie,” she added.
Navigating the New Hollywood
As one of the key figures in the #MeToo movement, Paltrow also reflected on how Hollywood has changed since her early career—particularly with the rise of intimacy coordinators on set.
“There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,” she admitted.
When the coordinator on Marty Supreme approached her with guidance for a scene, Paltrow had a different perspective. “I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.’”
She and Chalamet ultimately decided to approach their scenes more naturally. “We said, ‘I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back,’” she explained. “I don’t know how it is for kids who are starting out, but if someone is like, ‘Okay, and then he’s going to put his hand here,’ I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that.”
Praise for Chalamet
Despite the unconventional dynamic, Paltrow had nothing but admiration for her co-star.
“He’s such a thinking man’s sex symbol,” she said. “He’s just a very polite, properly raised—I was going to say ‘kid.’ He’s a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner.”
Paltrow’s Return to the Big Screen
Marty Supreme marks Paltrow’s return to acting after years of focusing on parenting and her wellness brand, Goop. She considers her role in Country Strong (2010) to be her last serious acting commitment, despite appearances in several Marvel films and Netflix’s The Politician.
Joining Paltrow and Chalamet in the film’s star-studded cast are musician Tyler, the Creator, Fran Drescher, and Sandra Bernhard.
Produced by A24, Marty Supreme is set to hit theaters on Christmas Day.
