Somehow, we’ve reached the point in time when Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s kids are both in their twenties! Like, what? Where did the time go? Moses Martin, who is Paltrow’s youngest, just turned 20 on Wednesday, March 8, and his momma was super cool about it on her social media post.

Now, Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t been shy about how much of a “big change” it has been for her to be an empty nester since Moses left home for college a couple of years ago. The shift in her life even got her to return to acting after saying she’d “literally never” star in a movie again. Here’s what she wrote on her Instagram:

Aww, isn’t this the sweetest? Moses Martin is currently away in his second year at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, while Gwyneth Paltrow resides in Montecito, California, with her hubby Brad Falchuk. Here’s how Moses Martin responded to the message:

It can’t be easy to let your child spread their wings and be so far away from them on birthdays after a lifetime of blowing out candles in the same household. But Gwyneth Paltrow is the epitome of grace in this message. It sounds like she’s making sure he’s feeling special and loved with a gift in the mail, but allowing him to have his independence for the big 2-0!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have two kids together, Apple and Moses. Apple is their eldest, whom they welcomed on May 14, 2004. Moses wasn’t long after considering he was born less than two years after his sister.

Their parents famously “consciously uncoupled” back in 2014.

Apple, who is 21, recently told Vogue that she has aspirations to be an actor like her momma (all the more reason for her to borrow more from Gwyneth’s archive closet) after graduating from Vanderbilt University this coming May in law, history and society. She initially had plans to attend law school. Both of Gwyneth’s kids are also quite musically inclined, but Apple said that she doesn’t want to be a singer because “getting onstage by yourself to sing is so terrifying.”

As Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids continue to lead their adult lives, the actress and Goop CEO has already lined up her Marty Supreme follow-up as the lead of the adaptation of Belle Burden’s bestselling memoir, Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, for Netflix, per Variety. While this transition for Paltrow has to bring in new feelings every day, she seems to be balancing it all well, and we’re hyped for her return-to-acting era.

If you ever wanted to own a piece of Gwyneth Paltrow’s wardrobe (or stationery, glasses, etc.), you may be in luck. The actress is auctioning off more than 300 items, and the best part is that interested parties won’t have to fork over several mortgage payments to get them. So why is the Oscar winner’s clothing going for hundreds of dollars when past auctions have raked in seven figures for items like Marilyn Monroe’s so-called “Naked Dress”? There’s a pretty morbid reason.

Julien’s, the famous Los Angeles auction house, is currently hosting an auction that features hundreds of pieces that Gwyneth Paltrow is ready to part ways with — from designer dresses (at least the ones she didn’t save for daughter Apple) to coffee tables, lamps, books, jewelry and more. While people are willing to spend thousands of dollars on many of the items, Julien’s co-founder Martin Nolan explained why nothing’s going to garner the same $4.8 million that Marilyn Monroe’s famous Jean Louis gown did in 2016. Frankly, he told The Guardian:

Sadly it’s because Marilyn Monroe has long since passed away, so dresses worn by the icon are at a premium — especially pieces like the Naked Dress, which she wore to sing “Happy Birthday” to President John F. Kennedy back in 1962, just months before her death at age 36.

It was Ripley’s Believe It or Not! that purchased the gown 10 years ago at a Julien's auction, and then made the controversial decision to loan it to Kim Kardashian for the Met Gala in 2022. The SKIMS boss got backlash for having to drop a lot of weight quickly to fit into the dress, and many believe she damaged the piece.

Gwyneth Paltrow, meanwhile, hopefully has many years ahead of her to collect gorgeous dresses like the white Giorgio Armani Privé gown that she had to be sewn into for this year’s Oscars ceremony. Maybe someday far into the future, someone will be shelling out six or seven figures for that one.

For now, there are some event dresses that are slightly more budget friendly. Her Julien’s auction includes the Atelier Versace gown that she wore to the 2010 CMAs, which is going for $7,680 as of this writing and a gray Gianni Versace two-piece that she wore to the White House in 1999, available currently for a bid of $600.

You can also find more casual pieces, like a Dolce & Gabbana T-shirt reading “Material Girl” for $800, and who could pass up an autographed birth announcement of “one of the original nepo babies”? The document features the actress’ name, “Gwyneth Kate,” her date of birth and the name of her parents — Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner — along with Gwyneth’s signature. It’s racked up a handful of bids already, currently valued at $150.

The Shakespeare in Love star may not be making as much as some actresses’ items, like Marilyn Monroe and Olivia Newton-John, but given that’s because Gwyneth Paltrow is still alive, I’m sure fans are just fine with that.

Reese Witherspoon celebrated a milestone birthday this weekend, turning 50 on March 22, and it’s no surprise that the beloved actress was showered with parasocial love from those around her. As she received lovely (and, in one case, musical) messages from friends like Kerry Washington, Jennifer Garner, Mindy Kaling, Gwyneth Paltrow and many more, she returned the favor with sweet words of her own for her loved ones.

In the case of Jennifer Garner, I can definitely see why Reese Witherspoon would be inspired to share a personalized message to her Instagram Stories. The 13 Going on 30 star whipped out the saxophone for a rendition of “You Are My Sunshine,” with images of the birthday girl and animated suns popping up around her as she played:

She wasn’t the only one to receive a Story of gratitude, however. Kerry Washington, who co-starred in and executive produced Little Fires Everywhere with Reese Witherspoon back in 2020, shared a photo of them together, with the latter’s post showing this exchange:

• Kerry Washington: Happy [Reese Witherspoon] day everyone!!!! Happy Birthday to this very very very special light of a human being. So grateful you were born. LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH RW ♥️♥️♥️♥️
• Reese Witherspoon: [Kerry Washington] you are the best! I love you, thank you friend ♥️

Going even further back into Reese Witherspoon’s greatest movies and TV roles, her Cruel Intentions co-star Sarah Michelle Gellar had a hilarious take on her friend turning 50, which apparently had Witherspoon laughing:

This practice of responding to well-wishes with personalized greetings is actually really on brand for Reese Witherspoon, given her “very important” rule about returning to The Morning Show. It makes a lot of sense that someone who would make a point of telling everyone hello on the first day back on set would also prioritize replying to her birthday posts.

Gwyneth Paltrow received one of those responses after she shared a pic with the actress:

You can tell that she was really feeling the love, as she responded to people from her team, author Harlan Coben, who co-wrote her novel Gone Before Goodbye, former colleagues like Big Little Lies’ Darby Camp, comedian Leanne Morgan, singer Kelsea Ballerini, and Mindy Kaling, who shared this exchange with Reese Witherspoon:

While birthdays are something of a personal holiday, it seems like Reese Witherspoon is insistent on spreading the love around and not just enjoying her day in the spotlight. Should we really expect anything less from the woman who throws Halloween parties for her colleagues or creates a “Magical Wonderland” at her house over the holidays? I’ll bet she even sends Thank You cards for her gifts. What a woman.

Hopefully the actress felt as much love as she sent out on her birthday, and we’ll be keeping an eye out for her next projects on the 2026 TV schedule. While The Morning Show Season 5 is filming now, we’re unlikely to get that batch of episodes before 2027, but we’re definitely looking forward to the Legally Blonde prequel Elle, which Reese Witherspoon is executive producing. That’s set to premiere July 1 and can be streamed with a Prime Video subscription.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been acting since her first role in her dad’s 1989 TV movie, High. The A-lister was born to famous parents -- actress Blythe Danner and late director/producer Bruce Paltrow -- but she was previously turned off by the “nepo baby” label. However, recently she called herself “one of the original Nepo Babies." Needless to say, that's surprising to me, considering past comments she's made about that debate.

Gwyneth Paltrow Seemingly Has New Take On The "Nepo Baby" Label

The nepo baby debate is still very much alive. Recently, fans challenged Kate Winslet’s comments about her kids going into entertainment, and Allison Williams shared her refreshing take on being further inspired after being in her parents' shadow.

Gwyneth Paltrow previously spoke about having a famous mom making her career harder, so I was taken aback to hear her say during her speech at the New York Women in Film & Television Muse Awards (via People) that she’s an OG nepo baby:

The Marty Supreme actress sure got a laugh out of the room for that one! She has also poked fun at the nepo baby title before, like when Hailey Bieber wore a “nepo baby” T-shirt, and the Goop founder commented, “I might need a few of these.” I’ve got to say that I give Gwyneth Paltrow a lot of credit for taking her “nepo baby” label in stride.

Also, Paltrow has theorized that her polarizing persona might have had to do, in part, with her privileged upbringing.

However, while the Marvel Cinematic Universe vet had a fairly good attitude about the whole debate at that event, she's also been critical of it, especially when people bring her kids into the mix.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Past Comments On The 'Nepo Baby' Debate

During an interview with Bustle that was published in 2023, Gwyneth Paltrow talked about how her daughter Apple, who looks just like her famous mom, might get hit with the “nepo baby” label just like she did. Previously, the Shakespeare in Love actress was defensive about the term and felt it was wasn't fair to kids who followed in their parents’ footsteps, saying:

Paltrow isn't wrong in saying that kids who aspire to be doctors like their parents don’t get judgment. So, if Apple ever did decide to go into entertainment like her famous parents, it could be because she was inspired by them and would be willing to carry on her family’s legacy as any other kid has.

When kids decide to set down a certain path, it could also be based on their environment. The Se7en actress also opined that growing up with parents who are in similar fields can easily influence what a child does as an adult:

Children are absolutely capable of making up their own minds about what they want to do. It seems like Gwyneth Paltrow is more about letting her kids venture towards their own path compared to forcing them on hers. While her son, Moses, is following his musician father’s footsteps by playing in a band, Apple is making her own mark as a model. So, it looks like Paltrow is giving her kids the freedom and support they need to become their own people.

Gwyneth Paltrow may have some issues with the “nepo baby” label, but it looks like she’s fully embracing it today. However, it's also clear that she has a nuanced take on it all, especially when it comes to her kids and their success. So, as they continue to grow up, I'll be curious to see how her opinion on this title evolves.

Gwyneth Paltrow turned a lot of heads when she attended the 98th Oscars, which was on the 2026 TV schedule over the weekend. While it looked like a non-fussy gown compared to other red carpet looks that night, I was totally wrong. I’m sorry, but her dress sounds like a whole ordeal I wouldn’t sign up for – even if I was literally her.

The actress gave fans an inside look into what it’s like to get ready for this year’s Oscars in a new video posted by Goop, and it takes a team of hair, makeup and clothing stylists. While on a call with her daughter while she was getting all done up, Paltrow had this to say about her journey ahead that gave me pause:

Paltrow’s dress was gorgeous, but at what cost? The inability to pee for the duration of her time in it, that's what. If you caught the telecast to find out who the 2026 Oscar winners were, you know the ceremony was three and a half hours, and that’s not counting the red carpet interviews beforehand.

I would be so stressed over drinking too much liquids and not having the ability to go to the bathroom if I was her – with the added layer of it all being recorded for television to cause me more panic. But I guess it was fashion over function for Paltrow. Check out the dress for yourself below:

Paltrow turned up to the 98th Oscars in a white Giorgio Armani Privé gown that has both the sheer dress trend and cutout trend in one as it shows off some skin on the sides with sparkly sheer cutouts. Given the specificities of the dress, I totally get why she was sewn into the garment, but I absolutely cannot get over sacrificing one’s ability to have one of my normal bodily functions for a dress.

It was a special year for Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars, considering the actress’ movie Marty Supreme was nominated for nine Academy Awards and she was asked to be one of the actors to present the first-ever Best Casting award. Sadly, Marty Supreme was completely shut out of winning a single award, but Paltrow looked good anyways. During the get ready video, the 53-year-old reflected on how her pre-ceremony routine has changed over the years, saying this:

Gwyneth Paltrow first went to the Oscars back in 1994, and has been 10 times since. In 1999, she won Best Actress for her role in Shakespeare In Love, which remains her first and only acting nomination/win from the Academy. It was great to see her serving as always, but learning more about her dress gave me a whole new respect for her.

As we await Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest Oscars look, which is on the 2026 TV schedule for this Sunday, the actress and entrepreneur recently talked about her favorite looks over the years. She made some comments about her approach to making a fashion statement at public events like the Met Gala, and some shade was thrown.

Of the seven looks Paltrow decided to highlight as her favorites to Goop, two of them are from past Met Galas, which she has attended on five occasions across the past 15 years. Here’s what she had to say about her perspective on dressing up for the big fashion event:

While I'm pretty sure no one has actually gone to the Met Gala in a hot dog costume, Katy Perry did put on a hamburger costume after going inside the venue (she had a chandelier-inspired look on the carpet) back in 2019. Paltrow's words show a certain disdain for celebrities who decide to go in a more costume-y ensemble. We’re looking at Doja Cat and Jared Leto going full feline in 2023 or perhaps when Diana Ross showed up with an 18-foot train at last year’s Gala. Paltrow also said this:

In the new interview, she highlighted her look from 2019 her with Natacha Ramsay-Levi for Chloé dress for the Valley of the Dolls theme. Check it out below:

The actress named the above her second favorite look thus far, along with naming another Met Gala moment of hers as the No. 1. Back in 2012, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a Prada dress on a night that she says was “sort of the apex” of feeling herself. Here it is:

While the Met Gala is certainly known for how far celebrities might go for a jaw-dropping, viral moment, that’s clearly not the vibe of Gwyneth Paltrow. Her fashion sense is a lot more practical and simple, but to each their own. These looks did look great on her.

Paltrow is confirmed to be a presenter at the 2026 Oscars, which will be able to view on ABC and with a Hulu subscription this Sunday at 4 p.m. PT/ 7 p.m. ET. We’ll be curious to see what her latest look for the star-studded event turns out to be.

Plenty of awards were handed out Sunday night, as the Actor Awards (previously the SAG Awards) streamed live with a Netflix subscription, and those who tuned in were also treated to quite the fashion show as well, with the honorees giving their interpretations of the night’s theme, “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour from the ’20s and ’30s.” Jenna Ortega and Gwyneth Paltrow were thinking along the same lines, as both hit the red carpet in gorgeous lacy gowns with plunging necklines, and I can’t decide which dress I like better.

Let’s start with Jenna Ortega, who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for Wednesday. She and stylist Enrique Melendez simply don’t miss, and I’m obsessed with this delicate-looking slip dress from Christian Cowan. The cream-colored gown was trimmed with lace at the neckline, which plunged down to her belly button, as you can see below:

The dress was intentionally distressed, with holes allowing skin to peek through around her midriff and fraying along the hemline. The textured edges continued up the thigh-high slit, which showed Jenna Ortega’s light gray stockings underneath that underscored the piece’s lingerie aesthetic.

In a seeming nod to her character on one of Netflix’s most bingeworthy series, Jenna Ortega incorporated touches of black throughout the ensemble, including a choker with black cord falling down her sides, open-toe platform heels and a black manicure. Her glam featured a dark red lip and smoky eye, while she wore her hair down with a glamorous-looking side-part.

Gwyneth Paltrow, meanwhile, also chose a lingerie-inspired plunging lace neckline, though color-wise she went in the opposite direction of Jenna Ortega and wore black. The dress was semi-sheer down past Paltrow’s hips, before flaring out at the thighs into a calf-length sparkling ballgown. Check out her look:

She added a subtle pop of color with vintage turquoise earrings and burgundy nails, and her hair was done up in a bun. I can’t decide if I like this ensemble more, or Jenna Ortega’s, but the best part is that nobody has to choose! The actresses may have interpreted the evening’s theme in similar ways, but they each shined in their own spotlights.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been wearing a lot of sheer lately, including the pretty-in-pink number she sported when she reunited with Kate Hudson to accept a film festival honor.

Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t nominated for an individual Actor Award on Sunday but she did present a trophy, and she was there in support of Marty Supreme, sitting alongside Timothée Chalamet, Odessa A'zion and other cast members. However, the sports drama was shut out of winnings, largely because of how much love Sinners got.

Marty Supreme will have another shot soon, though, as it’s nominated for several Academy Awards. We’ll definitely be tuning in to see who takes home the hardware — and, of course, to see what all of the stars are wearing! — when the Oscars hit the 2026 TV schedule live starting at 7 p.m. ET Sunday, March 15, on ABC.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson have been leading ladies in Hollywood for decades now, and with both having movies that are being honored with awards this season — Song Sung Blue, for which Hudson is nominated for an Academy Award, and Paltrow’s Marty Supreme — it makes sense that the longtime friends would cross paths. Indeed, they seemed delighted to see each other as they both sported pink for one recent event.

Kate Hudson was honored with an award at the 2026 Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 13, and she and Gwyneth Paltrow’s reunion ahead of the ceremony was posted to Instagram:

The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star could be heard shouting, “You look so pretty!” as she and Gwyneth Paltrow shuffled excitedly toward each other outside of the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California. Paltrow seemed to hilariously respond that it’s “such a weird outfit” as the mutual admiration continued.

If by “weird” she meant “sheer and gorgeous,” Gwyneth Paltrow was definitely correct. The Se7en actress sported a light pink Prada dress with a long train attached to the short skirt. The top was mostly sheer, with pink fabric providing modest cover over her chest but giving a good glimpse of her midriff. Her shoulders were also mostly bare, thanks to the dress’ spaghetti straps.

She wore her straight blonde hair in a high ponytail, accessorizing with Christian Louboutin heels that matched her outfit and jewelry by Hearts on Fire that included dazzling dangle earrings.

Kate Hudson was equally stunning in a custom Louis Vuitton dress, which was pink like her friend’s, though a shade or two darker. Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow’s, however, Hudson’s dress was loose, flowing all the way to the ground. The pink fabric was textured, and gold and brown accents were embroidered across the neckline and at her waist.

She wore her own blonde hair down, as her natural waves fell over shoulder, with earrings that showed off some large jewels.

There’s no questioning how close these two actresses are. When Gwyneth Paltrow presented Kate Hudson with the Arlington Artist of the Year Award, she referred to her as “kind of like a little sister to me.” Hudson, in turn, told People just how close their families are, saying:

The actresses’ children have reportedly attended the same schools, and Gwyneth Paltrow even threw Kate Hudson a 40th birthday party back in 2019.

I love seeing this friendship and how these women are supporting each other through awards season. Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t shy about pointing out that awards season is about money, but that’s not stopping her from singing Kate Hudson’s praises. In fact, she called Hudson’s performance “incredible” after seeing Song Sung Blue and said she couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Everybody needs friends like these in their corner, and I’m excited to see if they’ll have more run-ins at the other upcoming awards shows on the 2026 TV schedule (and if they’ll color coordinate again!) Tune into the Academy Awards at 7 p.m. ET Sunday, March 15, on ABC.

As the daughter of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Apple Martin has always grown up under the LA-influence. Thankfully, for her, Martin’s mother was a care-free ‘90s darling, instilling in her kids not only proper manners and self-expression but also an incredible fashion taste. Since entering her 20s, Martin has admittedly taken to raiding her mother’s ‘90s closet but, apparently, Paltrow has some limits.

Paltrow’s cultural influence in the ‘90s is unmatched, from movies like Shakespeare In Love and The Talented Mr. Ripley to her iconic red carpet looks. One such dress, a black Calvin Klein Paltrow wore to the premiere of Emma in 1996, Martin brought out of retirement for the premiere of A24’s critically acclaimed Marty Supreme.

The Self-Portrait model told Vogue her mom “let her loose” in her closet as a Christmas gift of sorts, but with conditions. Some fits, like a sheer look recently copied by Millie Bobby Brown, were considered off-limits with a friendly, but firm, eight-word warning from Paltrow:

Maybe it’s the fact that this totally normal mom comment is coming from the Gwyneth Paltrow about her iconic designer wardrobe, but it made me laugh out loud. 21-year-old Apple Martin is a senior at Vanderbilt University and has admittedly stolen more than one item from her mom’s fashion archive. I'd imagine she's among the most fashionable people on campus so, while she says she gets to lead a somewhat normal life in college, wearing the literal blueprint for stylish ‘90s attire has to make her stand out.

How can she pass up the opportunity, though? Apparently, the Great Expectations actress has a closet full of designer pieces she wore back in her hey-day, from red-carpet gowns to chic Calvin Klein from dates nights with Brad Pitt.

A couple years ago, Paltrow shared a picture on Instagram of her daughter trying on her infamous “goth” Alexander McQueen outfit from the 2002 Oscars, and I bet the mother-daughter duo had so much fun playing dress up in that closet. It’s surreal for me as a pop-culture fan to see the iconic outfit worn on Apple Martin, so I can’t imagine how much deja-vu the Se7en actress experiences seeing her mini-me wearing them. I'm tempted to assume she loves it almost as much as her daughter, though:

This “archive” closet does almost sound like a museum or a time capsule of sorts. It’s got to be worth a load of money, and I think I’d be afraid to touch anything, let alone try something on.

While some outfits have been donated to charity, much of Paltrow's iconic ‘90s wardrobe Paltrow was being saved for Apple Martin long before she was even born. Even so, the British model doesn’t take her clothing inheritance for granted, as she recognizes the cultural role these outfits played:

Given how much Paltrow has contributed to fashion, I love that her daughter appreciates it the same way. Martin says that while her mom is thrilled to share clothes with her daughter, the Marvel actress always reminds her to be careful with them. After all, most of the pieces are one-of-a-kind, custom made for Paltrow, but it seems like Martin values these clothes just as much as the Hook actress.

Though Martin’s original dream career as a lawyer led her to graduating this spring with a degree in law, history, and society, she says participating in Vanderbilt’s theater scene has led her to want to follow in her mother’s acting footsteps. However, the way the GapStudio model gushes over Paltrow’s iconic ‘90s fits makes me think we could possibly see as a big player in the fashion world one day.

As for Paltrow, the Goop founder’s return to the big screen has sent waves through Hollywood. While she probably won’t pop up in Avengers: Doomsday, it'd be great to see her amid the 2026 movie schedule. If Marty Supreme proved anything, it’s that Paltrow’s still got it after her seven-year acting hiatus. Now that the Royal Tenenbaums actress is an empty nester, perhaps there’s room for more acting projects in her future. I’d love to see her and Apple Martin appear in a movie together one day.

Every year comes with a number of celebrity deaths, and 2026 has started off with a bang as fashion icon Valentino Garavani passing away at the age of 93. He was reportedly surrounded by loved ones at his home in Rome, and passed away from natural causes. And as a result of his impact, a ton of celebrity tributes have started rolling out online, many of which praise both his talent and the strength of his character.

One of the A-list celebrities to pen a tribute was none other than Oscar-nominated actress Florence Pugh, who went viral for wearing a sheer Valentino dress that began the "free the nipple" movement. This even led her to becoming the face of the brand. Pugh took to Instagram story to write the following message:

Another iconic actress to take to social media is Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who has worked with Valentino on a number of her iconic looks throughout the years. She posted a sweet photo with the late designer, as well as a touching caption. You can check it out below:

Aside from being the star of The Kardashians (streaming with a Hulu subscription) and a recent actress, Kim Kardashian is also known for being a style icon. She's another celeb who seemingly had a close relationship with Valentino, sharing a sweet photo on her Instagram story, where she's seen walking arm in arm with the late designer.

Sarah Jessica Parker has spent years playing fashionable writer Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City and And Just Like That (which are streaming g with a HBO max subscription) but she's also a style icon IRL. She posted on her Instagram grid about Valentino's passing, see below:

The fashion industry has been collectively mourning since it was revealed that Valentino passed away. Case in point: pillar of the community Donatella Versace posted a photo on her Instagram, with the caption reading:

These tributes are only a drop in the bucket to how many are circulating online, as well as how many non-celebrity fans have been impacted by Valentino's work throughout the years. On top of bringing stunning fashion to the world, these posts also show how beloved he was as a person. Our thoughts are with his loves ones during what is no doubt a very difficult time of mourning.

Gwyneth Paltrow ended her hiatus from acting to join the sports dramedy Marty Supreme, which has earned praise and is a major player this awards season. Paltrow’s role in the film is a bit meta, as she plays Kay Stone, an actress making her return to the stage. By now, it’s widely known that Paltrow also performed sex scenes with lead actor Timothée Chalamet for the film, and she’s been addressing that aspect of filming. Now, the Oscar winner is explaining what her expectations for filming sexy time were and how they were subverted.

There are a couple of moments in which Paltrow’s Kay and Chalamet’s Marty Mauser get intimate in the Josh Safdie-helmed and co-written movie. When set photos of the co-stars locking lips went viral, everyone from fans to Paltrow’s own kids seemed to have thoughts. Paltrow hasn’t shied away from the fact that her and Chalamet’s characters have “a lot of sex” in the movie and, during a Q&A hosted by Demi Moore, Paltrow (via People) doubled down on that fact:

During the course of her career, Gwyneth Paltrow has had to kiss her fair share of co-stars on camera and feign sex alongside them as well. However, it would seem her Marty experience was a bit different. Paltrow went on to explain to Moore that she believed performing the sex scenes would be “weird” for her. However, after the experience, she was left pleasantly surprised:

So, in a sweet plot twist, performing the scenes didn’t prove to be as awkward as Paltrow assumed they’d be. What also seemed to add to her comfort was the fact that she was working with a skilled young actor in Chalamet. The Talented Mr. Ripley star went on to sing the praises of her scene partner:

What’s been particularly interesting to hear, in regard to Gwyneth Paltrow’s sex scenes, are the reactions from her son and daughter, who she shares with former husband Chris Martin. After those set photos leaked, Paltrow revealed that her daughter, Apple (21) was cool with the photos, while son Moses (19) was a bit more uneasy about them. More recently, Paltrow even joked that Moses – apparently enjoyed the film as a whole – “wanted to die” while watching the Marty Supreme scenes during the Los Angeles premiere.

I mean it in a non-joking way when I say Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t miss a beat in Marty Supreme, as she deftly portrays a woman feeling trapped in both her professional and personal lives. By the sounds of it, Paltrow (who went viral for making comments about intimacy coordinators) found a way to get comfortable with filming sex scenes again, and I get why she appreciates the way in which that all surprisingly turned out for her. Check out the movie now, as it’s still playing in theaters.

The older people get the more likely they are to have moments where they look back on what they’ve done and been through during their lives, and reflect on the good, bad and hopefully-not-too ugly of it all. Midlife is big for this kind of thing, and Marty Supreme star Gwyneth Paltrow is in that stage where one can’t help but think about the past. While it can be a serious endeavor, she just hilariously opened up about how a chat with Frankenstein lead Jacob Elordi made her wonder, “How old am I?”

What Did Gwyneth Paltrow Say About Reflecting On Life After Chatting With Jacob Elordi?

Gwyneth Paltrow has had a long and fruitful career that continues to this day. From her Oscar-winning work as a full-time actress in films like Shakespeare in Love, Seven, The Royal Tenenbaums, and a number of the Marvel movies in order that she barely remembers, to her time as a businesswoman in the crowded lifestyle influencer space as the founder of Goop, she’s accomplished a lot.

During a recent chat with Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, the famous mom of two who’s become just as known for “conscious uncoupling” (possibly to her detriment) and extolling the benefits of bone broth (same) was asked if she’s now able to look back on her movie career and “be kinder to herself about stuff.” After answering in the affirmative, Paltrow noted how she’s now seen as a “venerable, old” talent to many in the film industry, and funnily revealed how that makes her feel by bringing up a conversation she had with newer star, Jacob Elordi:

I have to tell you, as a lady of a similar vintage as Paltrow and Poehler, I love this so much! The voices they slip into when describing how conversations with younger people who recognize them typically go? Priceless!

Now, I’m not in a line of work that has made me famous, but I completely get what a shock it must be to have fully grown adults (Elordi is 28) who are famous in their own right talk about everything you’ve done as though they are fantastic things in the bygone olden days. Especially if they bring up how much their parents loved something that you did. While I’m sure the Euphoria star was being sincerely complimentary…dude made our Gwynnie feel old as fuck, y’all, as she thought during the interaction:

She doesn’t specify, but the Sliding Doors star is likely talking about a conversation that happened during or around the time of her joint Actors on Actors interview with Elordi, which would be a very natural place for him to bring up Paltrow’s 37 year history on screen. Even though she’s been very open about things like how turning 50 felt like “liberation,” and her conflicted feelings over becoming an empty nester, I 100% understand how funny/wild/surprising it is to fully realize just how old you actually are, and there’s nothing that can do it quite like a conversion with one of the young’uns.

Following a hiatus, Gwyneth Paltrow made her return to acting in the highly acclaimed sports dramedy Marty Supreme. Paltrow – who plays actress Kay Stone in the Timothée Chalamet-led film – has been receiving rave reviews for her work. However, it would appear that not everyone is so keen on every aspect of her latest performance. Paltrow recently revealed that one of her close family members “wanted to die” while watching her sex scenes in the film. And the Oscar winner’s take on that was quite funny.

Paltrow has been making the rounds throughout this awards season, and she recently attended a screening held at the San Vicente Bungalows in Santa Monica, California. Said screening was followed by a Q&A that was moderated by Demi Moore In time, the chat shifted to Paltrow’s more intimate scenes with Chalamet. At that point, Paltrow (via People) humorously explained that her son, Moses Martin, wasn’t thrilled while watching his mom’s sex scenes. Paltrow described her kid’s experience as follows:

In fairness, Gwyneth Paltrow was just doing her job as an actor. However, I can understand why 19-year-old Moses isn’t all that comfortable watching his mom in such intimate scenes. This actually isn’t the first time Paltrow has discussed her son’s reaction to her sex scenes in Marty Supreme. Paltrow previously confirmed that she’d taken him to the film’s L.A. premiere and that during the love scenes, Moses would hide his face behind his hands. (Talk about an awkward moment for a teenager.)

The brouhaha surrounding Paltrow and Chalamet’s intimate scenes actually began even before the film hit theaters last year. Ahead of the release, set photos began to make the rounds, which showed Chalamet and Paltrow locking lips. Even at that point, Moses and Apple Martin (21) – who Paltrow shares with ex-husband Chris Martin – shared reactions to the viral pics. Moses, according to his mom, was unenthusiastic even at that point, while Apple was more accepting.

It was around that same time that the Royal Tenenbaums veteran revealed that in Marty, Kay Stone and Chalamet’s Marty Mauser have “a lot of sex” in the movie. She also went viral for mentioning that she mostly didn’t feel the need to utilize the assigned intimacy coordinator (a position that’s become commonplace in Hollywood). Backlash to the comments ensued, and Paltrow later clarified that she didn’t mean any offense.

Fast forward to today, and Marty Supreme – and Gwyneth Paltrow herself – are at the center of some serious buzz. The film, which is directed by Josh Safdie, currently has several 2026 Golden Globe nominations, including a nod for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. It’s also to be a major contender during this year’s Academy Awards. We’ll have to wait and see how all that pans out but, in the meantime, for Moses’ sake, I hope he won’t have to watch his mom’s sex scenes too many more times.

Check out Marty Supreme, which is playing in theaters nationwide now. Also, to see if the movie takes home any awards, watch the 2026 Golden Globe Awards tonight, January 11, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS or stream it with a Paramount+ subscription.

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of the most famous names out there, from her award-worthy roles, her part in some of the best Marvel movies, and being the founder of Goop. With that status has come some backlash over the years. But, what does she think about why she’s become a polarizing figure?

Since Paltrow is on the ongoing press tour for Marty Supreme, which is officially a major contender in awards season, she was asked exactly that. Here’s what she had to say:

Gwyneth Paltrow is undeniably powerful and talented. The 53-year-old has built an incredible acting career that includes classics like Se7en, The Royal Tenenbaums and Iron Man, and one could argue she’s just made another great movie with Marty Supreme, for which she came out of acting retirement. As Paltrow started in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she thinks that perhaps calling a woman polarizing has become one in the same with those descriptors. As she added:

Paltrow particularly received a lot of attention for her use of the phrase “consciously uncoupling” when she and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin announced they were separating after a decade of marriage. As she explained, even though she received some flack for using that term (recently recalling even once getting fired from a movie because of it), she’s also thanked all the time for making that move. Paltrow attempted to explain why she’s picked on further with these words:

Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of the actress Blythe Danner and producer/director Bruce Paltrow. Because many would consider her a nepo baby, she thinks it’s easy to make fun and say she doesn’t deserve her success, but as she pointed out as well, her parents were “self made” and “killed themselves to get where they got.” Once, she actually said having a famous mom made her career more difficult because she felt like she had to work “twice as hard and be twice as good.”

When it comes to Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow also explained that her decision to make the brand comes “a true and authentic place of really wanting to better women’s lives”. She cited things like making “non-toxic” products and her company producing “healthy” food as proof of that. As she also said:

It definitely seems like Gwyneth Paltrow has reflected on how she is perceived by the public, and why she can be seen as a polarizing figure over the years.

After a long absence, Gwyneth Paltrow decided to return to acting right before the 2026 movie schedule in Marty Supreme, a critically acclaimed, award-winning film that’s being credited for making viewers root for a terrible person. Though that’s dominating the conversation for her as of late, the Goop founder still, it seems, hasn’t quite lived down that time a few years ago when she revealed her love of bone broth and it went viral. Now she’s debunked the rumor that the beverage was all she drank at one time.

What’s The Deal With Gwyneth Paltrow And Bone Broth?

Ever since Gwyneth Paltrow entered the lifestyle influencer space by starting Goop in 2008, she’s spent more and more time diving into all the ways that we can be healthier and happier by trying/promoting seemingly every new wellness trend under the sun. The Oscar winner has been lauded for it by some, but dragged for many of her attempts, as well, having come under fire for things like (possibly exploding) vagina candles, her potentially fraudulent vaginal eggs, and, well, other things that don’t directly involve vaginas, but were still hotly debated with regards to usefulness.

Her company is still going strong, so one would imagine that it’s lived down most of those controversies, but something that seems to still have people in a tizzy is Paltrow’s early 2023 reveal of her personal wellness routine, where she said that she usually had bone broth for lunch. That led to accusations that she was promoting unhealthy eating habits, to the point where her daughter, Apple, had to tell her that her comments had gone viral. Well, during a recent conversation with Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast, the Iron Man actress was asked if she’s still drinking the solution, and she replied:

Alright, folks. There you have it. Not only did Paltrow not say that she only drank bone broth, but she does still use it as something “like a cup of tea” once a day, to get a dose of its perceived benefits.

A few months after her original comments went viral, she responded to all the criticism and noted that she never meant to imply that she was only drinking broth to fuel her busy life. In addition, the star noted that she was on a whole diet plan created by her doctor to try and control the symptoms of long COVID and “very high levels of inflammation” that had plagued her, where she laid out more thoroughly the solid foods she was eating along with having bone broth.

Look, this pretty much all boils down to one thing: take all random health recommendations with a grain of salt, and, for the love of all that is medically holy, talk to your doctor before jumping into potentially wild new wellness trends.

We’re deep into awards season, with the 31st Critics' Choice Movie Awards being held this past weekend, and the 83rd Golden Globe Awards airing on the 2026 TV schedule this upcoming Sunday. Looking further ahead into the future, the nominations for the 32nd Actors Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, have been announced, and there’s a solid lineup of performers that are in contention for those coveted Actor trophies. But as it goes with awards shows, there are also a fair amount of A-listers, including Dwayne Johnson, who didn’t make the cut.

It was only three months ago that Johnson was seen on the big screen starring as MMA fighter Mark Kerr in A24’s The Smashing Machine, which quickly drummed up accolades and awards buzz for the former Black Adam. While Johnson is among the actors who was announced as part of the 2026 Golden Globe nominations, he was not among the Actors Awards nominees unveiled earlier today. Instead, the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role category consists of Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, Leonardo DiCaprio in One Battle After Another, Ethan Hawke in Blue Moon, Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, and Jesse Plemons in Bugonia.

You can head over to the Actors Awards website to see the full list of nominees, but Adam Sandler, Emily Blunt, Amanda Seyfried, Cynthia Erivo and Gwyneth Paltrow are among the other actors who didn’t end up being recognized this year. Sandler would have been especially nice to see in the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role category for his role as Ron Sukenick in Jay Kelly. But like I said, there are always going to be perceived snubs when awards nominations are announced; you can’t include everyone, otherwise what would be the point in having these ceremonies?

The good news is that like Dwayne Johnson, Adam Sandler, Emily Blunt, Amanda Seyfried and Cynthia Erivo will also compete at the Golden Globes, with the latter two actresses earning recognition for The Testament of Ann Lee and Wicked: For Good, respectively. Blunt, of course, starred opposite Johnson in The Smashing Machine, with this marking their second collaboration together following Jungle Cruise. Going back to the Actors Awards, other movies and TV shows that have actors being recognized this year include Frankenstein, Hamnet, Severance, The Diplomat and The Studio, among others.

If you’re interested in seeing firsthand who walks away with Actors Awards, you’ll need a Netflix subscription, as the ceremony exclusively streams on that platform March 1 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. Otherwise, continue checking back with CinemaBlend for news on the 2026 movie releases, as you can sure we’ll be talking more about snubs in various ceremonies around this time next year.

Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress and business owner who has been in the public eye for decades. During that time her personal life has made headlines, including her relationship with Brad Pitt and famouly consciously uncoupling with ex Chris Martin. But it turns out that she was actually fired from a movie in the midst of that divorce, seemingly due to all the press surrounding the former couple at that point in time.

While Paltrow is proud of introducing conscious uncoupling to the masses, it turns out that the press that all the headlines she made at that time did have a negative affect on her acting career. Because while she was already playing Pepper Potts in the MCU (streaming with a Disney+ subscription), one studio tried to distance itself from her. While appearing on Good Hang with Amy Poehler, the Goop founder admitted she lost a job as a result of her divorce, saying:

Ouch. Despite already being an Oscar-winner with a long and impressive resume, it sounds like one distributor was worried her diorce press would negatively affect a movie she was attched to. And as a result, they promptly fired Gwyneth Paltrow. Although now I'm dying to know exactly what the movie was, and how well it ended up doing at the box office.

They say all press is good press, but it seems like that wasn't the belief held about Paltrow as she was divorcing Chris Martin. While speaking with Poehler, she got real about what an emotional gut punch it was being dropped from that unnamed project, saying:

Divorces are difficult for most people, but being a celebrity makes it into a very public matter. Just look at former couples like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Unfortunately for Paltrow, she also had to deal with the disappointment of losing a job at the same time.

While speaking with the star of Parks & Recreation (which is streaming with a Peacock subscription), Paltrow went on to speak about the backlash that came as a result of her famous "conscious uncoupling" comments. She empathized, sharing:

Sound like the actress has had the time to reflect on why some people were mad about the way she approached her divorce from Chris Martin. And rather than feeling defensive, she understands why it might have felt like a personal attack for some folks. As she went on:

In the end, the term conscious uncoupling has been adopted by other famous celebrity couples, including those who are coparenting in the midst of their split. And while Paltrow lost one movie job, she's now in total control over when she returns to acting while working on Goop. So things worked out in the end.

Gwyneth Paltrow is currently in theaters in Marty Supreme opposite Timothée Chalamet. Although I'm still curious about which movie dropped her during the divorce.

An unforgettable highlight of Gwyneth Paltrow’s career was when she won Best Actress for the best picture winner Shakespeare in Love, in 1999. Wearing her famous pink Ralph Lauren dress while tearfully holding that statuette in hand, the then-26-year-old gave her acceptance speech to the masses. That was clearly an honor for the actress, but we now have to wonder if Paltrow really uses her Oscar statuette as a doorstop. Well, the talented star finally explained.

Paltrow, who notably starred in the five-time Oscar-nominated movie The Talented Mr. Ripley immediately after winning an Oscar initially showed off her "doorstop" in a viral video. But, as she explained while talking with EW’s The Awardist podcast, the public probably shouldn't have put too much stock in that:

Well, there you go. It was just a fun joke on Vogue’s 73 Questions with Gwyneth Paltrow. Honestly, that would be a lousy place to keep the golden statuette, even if it does help keep a door open. But, then again, even if that was the Oscar’s permanent use, it’s Paltrow's trophy, and she can do what she wants with it.

Earning an Oscar apparently wasn't the easiest experience for the Marvel Cinematic Universe alum. She actually hid out at her parents’ house for weeks because of the “overwhelming” newfound attention she was getting. Paltrow went on to explain what a transformative turn her life took after winning Best Actress, and I see where she’s coming from:

That sounds about right in regard to winning an Oscar, as an actor's status can change. Also, for someone to accomplish that in their 20s is a mind-blowing realization. It’s a career-changing achievement that permanently changes how the industry sees them.

Later in the interview, the Iron Man actress continued to talk about how the original location of her statuette was on a bookshelf “hiding behind a door.” Now, however, it's on a new bookshelf that’s sharing space with other things. The little gold trinket deserves to be center stage, after all. Paltrow also expressed her mixed feelings about her Oscar win and what finally prompted her to move the trophy:

Well, better late than never. Considering what a rare accomplishment it is to win an Oscar, Gwyneth Paltrow's trophy deserves to be in the spotlight rather than hiding in the shadows.

On that note, it's good to know Gwyneth Paltrow’s Oscar isn't solely used as a doorstop. The golden statue already opened a few doors for the actress who received it, so there's no need for it to do so in the literal sense. Be sure to watch Paltrow's acting comeback in Marty Supreme, which is now playing in theaters.

2026 is here, and that means it’s officially “awards season.” From the Critics' Choice to the Golden Globes to the Oscars, and with plenty more in between it’s going to be wall-to-wall awards for the next few months. It’s a big deal in Hollywood, but as Gwyneth Paltrow points out, it’s also big business.

Gwyneth Paltrow won the Best Actress Oscar back in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love, and while the actress is now somewhat retired, her new film, Marty Supreme, is likely to be a strong contender at most awards shows (it’s already nabbed Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice nominations). In a recent appearance on the Awardist podcast, Paltrow recognizes that nominations are recognition of great works, but she doesn’t ignore that it’s also about money. She said…

While it’s nice to imagine that awards like the Oscars are given out entirely on merit and that there is zero politicking that goes on, that’s not the case, and it’s nice to hear somebody willing to say it out loud. There’s a lot of money involved in awards season. For Your Consideration campaigns pump millions into the Hollywood ecosystem in an attempt to get voters to notice particular films.

We know that some award voters don't watch every movie, so campaigns like this can have a real impact, getting some to look at films they might otherwise not see. It may lead to legitimate votes, but the money spent on the campaign itself is part of Hollywood's system. That money can come back to the studios in the form of ticket sales, Blu-ray purchases, on streaming views from movies that receive nominations and wins.

Of course, because these award winners come out of a combination of talent and campaigning, it can often lead to dissatisfaction from those watching the awards show, who feel the wrong film won a particular award. This is fine for Gwyneth Paltrow, as she says that nobody will ever entirely agree on these things, such is the nature of film. She continued…

None of this is to say that nominees and award winners aren’t deserving. When every studio is spending money to get attention, it levels the playing field somewhat. There is still great work that goes into making these movies, and those that receive recognition in the form of awards should be proud.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since the beginning, starring opposite Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark as Pepper Potts in Iron Man. She’s since reprised the character in six more movies, although Paltrow has also frequently demonstrated MCU cluelessness, like forgetting she worked with Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming. So when someone asked her what Pepper’s been up to since we last saw her in Avengers: Endgame, she gave a delightfully on-brand explanation.

When we left off with Pepper in Endgame, which can be streamed with a Disney+ subscription, she was attending Tony’s funeral with their daughter Morgan, close friends James Rhodes and Happy Hogan, and so many of her late husband’s fellow superheroes and allies. Six and a half years after the movie’s release, and roughly that same amount passing within the MCU itself, Gwyneth Paltrow was asked for her thoughts on Pepper’s current status while appearing on Entertainment Weekly’s The Awardist podcast. After acknowledging that she “would've had to see all the Avengers movies to get some story context for what she's doing,” the Marty Supreme star speculated:

Yeah, that tracks. Morgan was born shortly after Thanos snapped half of all life in the universe away, making her five years old post-time jump in Avengers: Endgame. So she’d likely be in middle school about now, and Pepper Potts would be balancing taking care of her daughter with also continuing her duties as Stark Industries’ CEO. Enough time has also passed that it’s easy enough to imagine that Pepper has dived back into the dating pool, although I’d argue there aren’t any men out there who have the same kind of charm that Tony had.

So that answer was reasonable enough, but then Paltrow reverted to her usual state of MCU ignorance after musing about Pepper’s dating life. Namely, she couldn’t remember where things stand with Robert Downey Jr. in the franchise, saying:

Ok, now we’re back to business as usual with her. Gwyneth Paltrow is referring to how RDJ is returning to the MCU to play Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, one of the final 2026 movie releases. While it hasn’t been officially cleared up if this take on Victor von Doom is a Tony Stark variant or something else entirely, he’s definitely not the resurrected Tony we followed along with for 11 years. But don’t expect Paltrow to remember any of this information, especially since there’s no indication she’ll appear in Doomsday.

Of course, Marvel’s known for its surprises, so maybe Gwyneth Paltrow is secretly slated to show up in the next Avengers movie. Or maybe she is indeed absent from Doomsday, but will return in 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars or a different upcoming Marvel movie. Whatever the case, I doubt Paltrow will give any deeper thought to Pepper’s status these days… not unless she’d getting paid to.

Timothée Chalamet has had no shortage of big swings over the last few years, but the 2025 movie schedule release of Marty Supreme might be one of his most interesting wins yet. The Josh Safdie-directed drama has only just arrived in theaters, and it’s already making A24 history at the box office, proving that the Beautiful Boy actor’s drawing power extends well beyond franchises and familiar IP.

According to The Numbers, Marty Supreme earned $28.3 million domestically in its first five days, marking the biggest opening for a new A24 release. That figure officially tops Civil War, which previously held the record with a $25.5 million debut earlier this year. While there’s an important caveat attached to the milestone, the headline remains impressive for a studio better known for critical acclaim than massive openings.

The key difference comes down to timing. Marty Supreme, which, believe it or not, is not a sports movie, opened on Christmas Eve, meaning its reported total reflects a Wednesday-to-Sunday stretch. By comparison, Civil War earned its $25.5 million during a standard Friday-through-Sunday opening weekend. When narrowed to the traditional three-day window, Marty Supreme pulled in $17.1 million, which still lands it comfortably among A24’s strongest debuts to date.

Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, a fiercely driven professional table tennis player whose intensity borders on obsession. The film leans hard into character and momentum, a lane Safdie knows well, and critics have responded accordingly. The movie currently holds a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with praise for both its relentless energy and the Lady Bird star’s performance.

The box office result is especially encouraging given the film’s reported $60–70 million budget, which makes Marty Supreme the most expensive project A24 has ever produced. With nearly half of that figure already recouped domestically in under a week, the studio is in a far stronger position than skeptics expected heading into release.

The record-setting debut also came during a crowded and competitive holiday frame. Avatar: Fire and Ash continued its dominant run in just its second weekend, while titles like Zootopia 2 and the Anaconda remake also fought for attention. Even so, Marty Supreme managed to carve out space, finishing the weekend in third place while expanding into more than 2,600 theaters.

For the actor, the performance only reinforces what recent years have already suggested. In Chalamet's best movies, from the Dune films to Wonka, he’s proven capable of opening films across wildly different genres. What’s notable here is that Marty Supreme isn’t built on spectacle or brand recognition. It’s a character-driven drama anchored almost entirely on his shoulders, and audiences showed up anyway.

There’s also awards-season momentum quietly building in the background. Timothée Chalamet is widely seen as a front-runner for Best Actor, which would mark his first Oscar win after previous nominations. Whether that materializes, Marty Supreme has already accomplished something concrete: it has expanded the ceiling for what an A24 release can achieve commercially.

For a studio long associated with prestige rather than profit, the record feels doubly impressive. As we head into the 2026 movie calendar, you can still check out Marty Supreme before the end of the year. Check your local listings for showtimes.

Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress and the founder of Goop, who is known for occupying the big screen. Nowadays she's known for taking a step away from acting, although she returned in a big way with Marty Supreme. But she recently reflected on the early days of her career, and explained why she turned down a graphic sex scene opposite Ethan Hawke in Great Expectations. And the pair really had a good laugh about the story.

Long before her tenure as Pepper Potts in the MCU (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription), Paltrow was a young actress working with a variety of well-known directors. That includes Alfonso Cuarón's Great Expectations, which hit theaters back in 1998. During a chat with Hawke for Vanity Fair, the two reminisced about a sex scene they originally had in the film. Paltrow recalled her initial reaction to the pitch, saying:

This is a pretty understandable reaction, even for folks who have never acted before. It takes a ton of vulnerability to do love scenes, and this was long before intimacy coordinators became a position on sets. Gwyneth was in her twenties when filming Great Expectations, and has concerns about her director father Bruce Paltrow seeing her simulate sex onscreen.

In the video, Ethan Hawke shared what Cuarón pitched for the scrapped love scene for the book to screen adaptation of Great Expectations. In his words:

While the acclaimed Y tu mamá también director had a clear vision and passion for this sequence, Paltrow's reaction was seemingly less than enthusiastic. The star of Boyhood continued the story and went on to say:

There were still some steamy scenes in this movie, but Paltrow was able to advocate for herself at a young age about things she was not comfortable doing on camera. You've got to admire her strong sense of self, as many young performers hoping to establish themselves in Hollywood might not be so brave.

Later in that same chat, Gwyneth Paltrow further explained why she was so worried about this cut sex scene when filming Great Expectations. As she put it:

This makes a great deal of sense. Paltrow has seemingly become more confident as she got older, and cared less about what her family might say about love scenes. Indeed, Gwyneth had some sex scened opposite Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, making headlines in the process.

Marty Supreme is in theaters now as part of the 2025 movie release list. As for Great Expectations, it's streaming for free over on Sling TV.

Hollywood made a big change several years ago, when many productions began using intimacy coordinators to help plan sex scenes in television shows and movies, like the 2025 movie schedule entry, Marty Supreme. In fact, that film stars one of a growing number of detractors to the relatively new profession, Gwyneth Paltrow, who went viral and took some heat for noting how she’d feel “stifled” if a coordinator was overly involved with her sex scenes.

Now, a well-respected member of the profession has spoken out about why they’re actually very much needed on set.

What Did An Intimacy Coordinator Say About Why They’re Essential On Sets?

The #MeToo movement sparked a lot of public conversations about just how prevalent sexual violence and abuse had been in Tinseltown, but few probably expected the conversation to alter the film and TV industry the way it has. One thing that came out of this was the realization that many actors (especially women) had felt taken advantage of during the filming of sex scenes, or retaliated against if they’d opted not to take part (or at least take part in ways directors had wanted them to).

Intimacy coordinators have become Hollywood's answer, and while actors like Olivia Colman have praised those in the profession for being able to give “great” direction during those intimate moments on screen, others like Florence Pugh have noted that the burgeoning field is more “complicated,” especially if you end up having “a shit example” when working with one who ends up making the process “so weird and so awkward.”

Recently, the Daily Mail spoke to veteran intimacy coordinator Yehuda Duenyas (who also trains those in the field through his own SAG-AFTRA accredited program), and about those who’ve had negative experiences he said:

Though we’ve heard some positives about intimacy coordinators over the past several years, it does make sense that there would be some variety in how people do the job, and that some might not be as suited to it as others. This is the case with every profession, and as Duenyas noted, it isn’t a reason to dismiss them as a whole.

Some actors have said that they believe having sex scenes be so fully choreographed (to the point that there is a strict nudity rider that must be changed and agreed upon if an actor changes their mind, and there’s then a waiting period of 48 hours before the scene can be filmed) kills whatever natural chemistry the actors involved have, but Duenyas disagrees:

While Duenyas makes some solid points, there will likely continue to be a lot of debate about what intimacy coordinators do, and whether or not it's beneficial for every performer. Stay tuned.

On Christmas Day, Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson belted out Neil Diamond songs in Song Sung Blue. She and Hugh Jackman portray the true story of a married couple who perform in a tribute band of the famed artist called Lightning & Thunder. Gwyneth Paltrow was certainly a fan of the movie as she had some kind words to say about Hudson’s performance.

With Kate Hudson’s career going full circle in breaking into the music industry with her debut album Glorious, I had a feeling she’d blow audiences away playing singer Claire Sardina. Gwyneth Paltrow was an example of someone who was blown over by the Oscar nominee’s performance so much that she took to her Instagram stories to sing her praises. Take a look:

“Incredible,” the actress says. I’m sold already! Based on the trailers, I can tell that the Almost Famous star is going to give audiences a transformative performance as a Neil Diamond tribute artist. Not to mention, she earned a nomination for the 2026 Golden Globes for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy. As her previous Golden Globe mentions came from music-centric films, it appears that movies and music are a perfect combination for Hudson.

It makes a lot of sense why Kate Hudson’s performance would affect Gwyneth Paltrow. The Goop founder also ventured into music when she starred in Country Strong, as well as her unforgettable guest appearances on Glee. With firsthand experience in stepping into a musical role later in her career herself, maybe Paltrow could recognize the vulnerability and emotions that come from not only playing a musical figure, but portraying a character’s musical talent as well.

Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t the only admirer of Kate Hudson’s performance. Hugh Jackman congratulated his co-star on social media for her Golden Globe nomination despite not being recognized himself. By saying her nomination was “richly deserved,” he had no problems acknowledging his co-star’s hardworking talent and success.

Critics who saw Song Sung Blue also had high praises for the Running Point actress’ performance, calling her “absolutely extraordinary” and a “revelation” that can’t be resisted. With Hudson clearly being a standout star in the musical-drama, it’s no wonder the Golden Globes couldn’t ignore her performance. If the Raising Helen actress gets nominated at the 98th Oscars, it’ll be her first since 2001’s Almost Famous. I’m sure Gwyneth Paltrow will be cheering her on when that moment comes.

Kate Hudson’s performance in Song Sung Blue truly couldn’t escape the eyes of Gwyneth Paltrow. Undoubtedly, the talented actress left a lasting impression on critics and fellow celebs like the Marty Supreme actress. Now, this makes me want to run off and get a ticket myself. You have the chance to do so, too, with the 2025 movie release in theaters now.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know much about Marty Supreme when I walked into the theater to catch one of the last movies coming out on the 2025 movie schedule. I knew the basics, I knew it starred Timothee Chalamet as a ping pong player, and it was directed by Josh Safdie. I vaguely remembered that it was more or less based on a true story, but otherwise, I tried to go in as blind as possible, because I wanted it all to be a surprise. And boy was it! It is about table tennis, sure, but it’s not just a sports movie. In fact, table tennis is really just a Macguffin.

Warning: there are slight spoilers ahead from the beginning of the movie, so proceed with caution if you haven’t seen it yet.

I Was Immediately Confused By The Opening Moments

The first scene of the movie has Marty (Chalamet) meeting his girlfriend Rachel (Odessa A'zion) in the back of the shoe store where he works in the 1950s. They immediately have sex, and as the opening credits roll, they are accompanied by swimming sperm headed towards an unfertilized egg. It’s really quite funny, but I didn’t know if I should be laughing, at least until the rest of the crowd in the theater did. Wait? This is a comedy? My expectations are already being blown apart.

Marty, it turns out, is indeed one of the best table tennis players in the world. He’s also a giant screw up. He’s constantly broke and hustling for money. He’s basically a degenerate with an outsized ego who is always on the run from those he owes money to and his girlfriend’s husband. Yeah, it turns out that Rachel is married, and yeah, she’s also pregnant with Marty’s baby, now. This is both dark and comical. It’s definitely not what I was expecting.

I Just Let It Flow

Sometimes I get frustrated when a movie isn’t what I think it’s going to be, and I have to remind myself that some of my favorite movie-watching experiences are when I don’t know anything about a movie and I just let it wash over me. In fact, that was exactly why I went into this one blind. I like Josh Safdie, I like Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, so I wanted to be surprised. I was more surprised than I anticipated, but I loved the movie, so it worked how it was supposed to.

Marty Supreme isn’t a sports movie like, say, Any Given Sunday or Moneyball. As I said, the sport is really a Macguffin that is used to push the action forward, but the movie is really about how much of a screw up and how unlikeable Marty is. He is a pretty terrible person who only thinks of himself and leaves a path of destruction in his wake. He’s ruining his life and the lives of those around him with his singular goal to be the best, to hell with the consequences.

It’s also a movie that I’ve not stopped thinking about since I saw it a few weeks ago. My initial thoughts on the movie have evolved, and while I liked it right away, I didn’t love it. Now I love it, and I hope everyone goes out to see this holiday season. It won’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but it will make you think. And I mean that in the best way.

For all the efforts that go into filming sex scenes, from guaranteeing comfort for the actors to limiting on-set crew members to working with intimacy coordinators and beyond, that side is completely separate from what the actors then have to deal with when their more illicit scenes are out in the wild and anyone is free to view them, even one’s closest family members. Such is the case for Gwyneth Paltrow, who emerged from retirement to get romantically entangled with Timothée Chalamet in the upcoming 2025 release Marty Supreme.

No stranger to alluring characters on the big screen, Paltrow guested on Late Night with Seth Meyers and was asked by the host what her children Apple and Moses Martin thought of the movie, specifically her and Chalamet getting down to business. She actually took son Moses to the film’s premiere, where he served as her mini-date, but when asked how it went during certain sequences, she could only laugh and say:

That certainly isn’t a hard-to-understand reaction to watching one’s mother display any amount of passion in a theatrical setting, and she's previously spoken about her kids’ reactions to images of her kissing Chalamet. But hopefully it was more of a hyperbolic take than anything, as that would really kill the movie-going mood if the 19-year-old was indeed that bothered to watch those scenes play out.

To be sure, it’s not as if director Josh Safdie filmed shocking hardcore ground-and-pound sessions or anything. The ping-pong drama’s romancing is on the mature side, but without ample deluges of nudity to worry about. (Beyond her kids, though, Ethan Hawke jokingly got bothered about her Central Park makeout, given their memorable scene in that location in Great Expectations.)

You know who really isn’t worried about catching some stray body parts on the big screen? Those two kids’ great-grandfather. When the actress reflected on taking her grandfather to see her to-be-award-winning performance in Shakespeare In Love, her attempts to soothingly warn him about her nude scenes were met with the most hilarious reaction. In her words:

I'll go on the record here to say I don't think there's any egg preparation that a grandfather could use to describe a pair of breasts without it sounding completely devoid or sexuality. (Or would it be "ovoid" in this case?) Least of all when it comes from a gramps. I mean, if his point there was only to make Paltrow feel less self-conscious about it, I guess it worked. Although that also might have caused esteem issues in other ways...

In any case, now I'd love to go to breakfast with Paltrow's family members to see how they describe eggs, and if there are any boob-specific comparisons made. For now, though, check out the trailer for Marty Supreme below!

Now someone should get Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids’ thoughts on the Dune popcorn bucket, which Chalamet himself talked about on the red carpet for the new film. With a cast of co-stars including Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, Kevin O’Leary and Tyler Okonoma, among others, Marty Supreme is set to hit theaters on Thursday, December 25. Hopefully there won’t be any coal left for director Josh Safdie at the box office.

Ethan Hawke may be many things: Oscar-nominated actor; author; eternal Gen X heartthrob. But in a viral clip making the rounds this week, he is also a man who remembers exactly where he kissed Gwyneth Paltrow nearly three decades ago and would like that location treated with the appropriate reverence.

The moment comes from a recent Vanity Fair Instagram post featuring Hawke in conversation with the Academy Award–winning actress, as the longtime collaborators chatted about their 2025 movie releases, future projects, and the odd intimacy that comes with a shared on-screen history. At one point, the Dead Poets Society star jokingly asks Paltrow about a new kissing scene with Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, specifically whether it took place in the same Central Park location where she and Hawke once kissed. Smiling, he presses:

For context, Great Expectations featured a scene of the Four-time Oscar nominee and Paltrow kissing in Central Park near a water fountain, a moment that has clearly lived rent-free in Hawke’s mind. Paltrow, for her part, assured him that the spot remains untouched, replying with playful seriousness:

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, the 1998 film is a modern, New York–set book to screen adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel, with the beloved Training Day actor playing Finn, an aspiring artist who never quite gets over Estella (Paltrow), the wealthy, emotionally guarded girl he falls for as a child. Their on-and-off romance unfolds alongside Finn’s rise as an artist, blurring the line between ambition, love, and the kind of obsession that feels like destiny when you’re young.

And judging by how easily this exchange resurfaced, the movie and that kiss clearly left a lasting impression. Fans had plenty to say about the back-and-forth.

Fans React To Hawke And Paltrow's Kissing Confession

Responses on X ranged from swooning over Hawke to lovingly roasting Paltrow’s selective memory, with plenty of Great Expectations callbacks mixed in. Highlights from the timeline include:

• @heyitsme_irenee: “honestly, Ethan has always been total hottie”
• @Samiizsleepin: "She remembers a kiss from 100 years ago but not her co workers from Avengers? Lmao
• @repressionnap: “After Sunrise and Sunset but before Noon”
• @FirstCuriosity: “desecrated 😭🤚”
• @Massiel3_: “I love everything from Great Expectations up to the crazy grandma. It should be on @NetflixLAT 🥹”
• @iainjordan: “She obviously should have said no I kissed him on the mouth”
• @waterdragon588: “she did all that just to get his attention women are so corny”
• @bub_bobino: “Ethan still got that dawg in him”
• @boyd_stevenz: “That’s kinda iconic”
• @heyrimz: “Outstanding 😍
• @theOfficeofSB: “Obsessed with this energy”

Fans clearly agree that the moment was funny and genuinely charming. Between the jokes and throwback affection for Great Expectations, fans were clearly happy to see the A-listers slip so easily back into the chemistry that made their pairing memorable in the first place.

As the year wraps up, both actors are staying busy. Gwyneth Paltrow returned to acting after a seven-year hiatus with Marty Supreme, the upcoming A24 film marking her first major screen role in years. Ethan Hawke, meanwhile, has been everywhere, appearing in Blue Moon and FX's series The Lowdown, reprising his role in The Black Phone 2, and lending his voice to Ken Burns’ The American Revolution documentary miniseries.

Looking back on 2025’s most viral moments, one I’m sure is ranking high on many people’s list of highlights is the Coldplay kiss cam scandal in July, when a couple with their arms wrapped around each other were shown on the Jumbotron, prompting them to try and hide from the camera. We would soon learn that these people were Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and executive Kristin Cabot, both of whom were married to other people, leading to accusations of an extramarital affair. Now Cabot has shared her side of the story, and that includes criticizing how Gwyneth Paltrow got into the mix.

Not long after the Coldplay kiss cam video started blowing up on social media, Astronomer hired Paltrow, the ex-wife of Coldplay vocalist Chris Martin, to do an advertisement for the AI company. This angered Cabot and she decided to throw away all her products from Goop, Paltrow’s wellness brand. As she explained to The Times:

Kristin Cabot is referring to how Gwyneth Paltrow referred to her separation from Chris Martin in 2014 after ten years of marriage as “conscious uncoupling.” While the term already existed at that point, the Shakespeare in Love actress unquestionably popularized it, though there was no shortage of people who poked fun at her for using that description. So from Cabot’s perspective, it was hypocritical for Paltrow to participate in an ad that was capitalizing on the social media attention that Cabot and Andy Byron were experiencing, when she had experienced similar mockery over a decade beforehand.

Cabot went on to say how this 16-second clip from the Coldplay concert upended her life, though she still hasn’t watched the actual footage. In her words:

Astronomer found no evidence that Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were engaged in an affair, and it’s mentioned in the article that both individuals were separated from their spouses at the time. Nevertheless, Byron resigned from the company just days after the video came out, and Cabot followed suit. She and him haven’t spoken since they shared “crisis management advice” shortly after the controversy.

Cabot later said in the interview that she continues to face backlash over what happened, including being told she is “unemployable.” Cabot also shared that she was “saddened” no one from Coldplay ever reached out to her or released a statement that might have helped lessen the blow on the damage the kiss cam footage did, which she believes Chris Martin “had helped manufacture.”

Should Gwyneth Paltrow release a statement responding to what Kristin Cabot said about her, we’ll pass it along. For now, you can see the former coming out of acting retirement to perform opposite Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, which is getting great buzz from critics and opens in theaters on December 25.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a well-oiled machine at this point, methodically releasing new content in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order will recall how things began with Jon Favreau's Iron Man, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow. And the latter actress' description of what it's like to film Marvel movies is honestly so on brand. Let's break it all down.

What we know about Avengers: Doomsday is limited, but fans are wondering if Paltrow might return as Pepper Potts. While we wait to see if whether or not she appears in the upcoming Marvel movie, the actress/Goop creator spoke to LA Times about her tenure in the MCU. As she put it:

Well, that was honest. While Marvel blockbusters have long and grueling hours as well as complicated action sequences, the Oscar-winning actress makes it seem like a breeze. Mostly because she's able to step back into character as Pepper Potts so easily thanks to how long she's played that character. And after all, her most recent appearances in the shared universe have largely been cameos rather than starring roles.

Paltrow famously forgot she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming, so her nonchalant way of describing her work in the MCU feels very much on brand. She's simply not phased by the share universe and its lore the way that fans are. So while other actors have to bulk up and shoot for months, Paltrow simply said "it's not that difficult." The comments remind me of Elle Woods famously saying "What, like it's hard?" in Legally Blonde.

While fans are wondering if Paltrow will appear in Doomsday, the 53 year-old actress returned to acting in a significant way opposite Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme. In the same interview, she shared the nerves she had when starting to shoot that film, saying:

Given Paltrow's long resume and Academy Award, it might be surprising that she had these nerves ahead of working on Marty Supreme. But aside from a few Marvel appearances and The Politician (which is streaming with a Netflix subscription) she hasn't done all that much acting in recent years. Luckily she found a way to overcome these nerves, and broke the internet after shooting a kissing scene with Chalamet.

Paltrow's tenure a Pepper Potts is currently streaming on Disney+, and Marty Supreme will hit theaters December 25th as part of the 2025 movie release list. We'll just have to see if/when she returns to the MCU.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is still going strong, consistently releasing new content in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Moviegoers are always looking toward upcoming Marvel movies, especially Avengers: Doomsday. There are countless questions about what might go down with that mysterious blockbuster, which will feature Robert Downey Jr.'s return to the MCU. Gwyneth Paltrow was recently asked if she's got a role in the title, and her response was so on brand.

What we know about Avengers: Doomsday is super limited, resulting in countless theories and rumors about what might go down. The Doomsday cast announcement revealed teams of heroes that will appear, but will Paltrow reprise her role as Pepper Potts as well? During a recent appearance on Good Morning America to promote her role in Mary Supreme, she was asked if she'll appear in the next Avengers movie. Her response was:

The Oscar-winning actress is likely playing dumb here, but fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order now that she can be a bit clueless about the lore of the MCU. After all, who could forget Paltrow forgetting she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming. So it's not totally out of the question that she'd be confused about the titles of the next Avengers flicks.

The Shakespeare in Love actress isn't obsessed with the MCU like the fans are. In addition to forgetting her role in Homecoming, she also forgot she met Sebastian Stan (and appeared in the same movies). Later in her appearance on GMA, she was pressed to give an answer about Doomsday, saying:

These comments are made with a bit of a wink, so perhaps we'll see her in the blockbuster after all. Kevin Feige confirmed that the cast will include actors that weren't in the original announcement. Pepper Potts goes back to the very first movie in the MCU, so it wouldn't be all that surprising if she appeared. And I assume she'd have a big reaction to seeing Tony Star's variant Doctor Doom.

We last saw Pepper Potts on the big screen in Avengers: Endgame, so she's been away from the shared universe for a few years at this point. While she hasn't had a starring role in the MCU since Iron Man 3, Paltrow has regularly popped in for cameos, especially when getting the chance to work with Robert Downey Jr. again. We'll just have to see whether or not she actually appears in the next Avengers movie.

All will be revealed when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18th of next year as part of the 2026 movie release list. For now, Paltrow can be seen in Marty Supreme, which will get its wide theatrical release December 25th.

Jennifer Lopez has been famous long enough to know the pattern: if the reviews are good, they’ll reach you eventually. If the reviews are bad, they arrive almost immediately. That’s why it’s oddly refreshing to hear Lopez, in conversation with Sydney Sweeney, speak so candidly about criticism. Despite being at very different stages of fame, both are clearly on the same wavelength, openly acknowledging the constant noise that comes with visibility while sitting at a roundtable with 2025 movie schedule powerhouse actresses.

The conversation took place during The Los Angeles Times 2025 Envelope Actresses Roundtable, where the "On The Floor" performer and star of Euphoria (streaming with an HBO Max subscription) joined Gwyneth Paltrow, Emily Blunt, Tessa Thompson, and Elle Fanning for a discussion about resisting Hollywood’s boxes and navigating reviews and negativity. As JLo tells it:

Lopez’s point is simple. You can avoid reading reviews, but you can’t avoid other people delivering them to you. And then she says the quiet part out loud. She’s been a “lightning rod” for praise and negativity from the beginning, and it can mess with your sense of reality if you let it. The A-list singer and actress continued:

Sweeney’s take lands in a bit different way. It’s the kind of mindset you build when you’re doing work you care about, and you’re trying to protect it. The star of the upcoming book-to-screen adaptation of The Housemaid shared:

Gwyneth Paltrow circles back with the veteran version of the same lesson. Even when you try to avoid it, the harsh stuff finds a way in. And when it does, it hits hard. The Iron Man trilogy mainstay added:

Lopez leans on self-affirmation. Sweeney leans on the work. Paltrow leans on distance. Different strategies, with the same goal of not letting strangers write the story of who you are.

What makes this exchange feel so candid is that none of the participants pretends that criticism doesn’t hurt. Instead, they openly acknowledge that negative reviews are painful and share how they cope with the criticism. In an industry that often expects women to be both agreeable and unfazed, it's rare to hear different generations discuss their varying approaches in straightforward language. However, this honesty is genuinely human.

After a packed year that saw each of them take on some of the most talked-about roles of the year, the momentum isn’t slowing down. Gwyneth Paltrow’s return to the big screen in A24's Marty Supreme, Jennifer Lopez’s high-wire turn in Kiss of the Spider Woman, Emily Blunt’s bruising performance in The Smashing Machine, and breakout work from Sydney Sweeney, Tessa Thompson, and Elle Fanning have already put them squarely in the awards conversation. As the industry turns its attention to the 2026 movie calendar and the heart of the upcoming awards season, the roundtable feels like a snapshot of six actresses hitting their stride.

Gwyneth Paltrow has spent the last several years mostly outside the Hollywood grind, running Goop, raising her kids, and enjoying a quieter, more curated life away from film sets. So when news broke that she’d signed on for Marty Supreme, plenty of people wondered what managed to pull her back in. As it turns out, it wasn’t a massive paycheck, a legacy role, or even the promise of an A24-style prestige swing that made her return to acting for the project on the 2025 movie calendar.

In her recent sit-down with Frankenstein star Jacob Elordi for Variety and CNN's Actors on Actors, Paltrow said her return wasn’t part of any grand career plan. It started with one meeting request—and the blunt advice of someone she trusted. She explained:

Now, Paltrow didn't know who the Safdie brother was when this happened. However, she quickly realized she wanted to work with him after watching Uncut Gems, saying:

Marty Supreme is a 1950s-set sports comedy-drama about Marty Mauser, a gifted but self-destructive New York ping-pong prodigy played by Timothée Chalamet. The Emma actress co-stars as Kay Stone, a wealthy, retired actress who crosses paths with Marty and becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic rise. The new A24 film has already earned major praise and multiple awards-season nods.

Paltrow, now 53, began acting in 1989 and won her Oscar a decade later for Shakespeare in Love, but the last several years have belonged more to Goop than to Hollywood. Her last major screen role was Netflix’s The Politician in 2019, and she’s often hinted that she’d left acting behind for good.

Still, the door never fully closed. Marty Supreme arrived during the longest break of her career — a stretch she says was about growing up, finding steadiness, and building a life that didn’t revolve around work. With her kids heading off to college, she suddenly felt space opening up. Safdie’s film happened to land right in that moment.

When asked what’s next, Paltrow didn’t pretend to have a plan. Scripts are coming in, but she’s not rushing back into anything. If she keeps acting beyond Marty Supreme, it’ll be on her terms — slower, more selective, and shaped by a clearer sense of what’s worth saying yes to.

It does raise a question, though: could she ever return for a new Marvel movie? She lived in that world as Pepper Potts for more than a decade, and with Robert Downey Jr. returning for Avengers: Doomsday, this time as the villain, not Iron Man, it’s tempting to wonder whether there’s room for her in whatever comes next. Odds are low, but in Hollywood, “never” rarely sticks.

For now, we get Gwyneth Paltrow in Marty Supreme, which hits theaters on December 25, 2025. It's a return no one expected, but one that seems to have arrived exactly when she was ready for it.

The holiday season is upon us, with delightful 2025 Christmas flicks playing nonstop on TV and movie lovers firing up some of the best Christmas films of all time for their annual viewings. Reese Witherspoon’s “magical wonderland” is in full swing and Kim Kardashian’s halls are decked, but apparently not everyone is feeling the spirit. Gwyneth Paltrow says her husband Brad Falchuk is a “bit of a Grinch,” leaving her feeling “very alone” in her merriment.

Gwyneth Paltrow talked all things holidays on her latest Goop podcast episode, and while she said she’s a big fan of Christmas, her husband’s days do not appear to be all merry and bright. December isn’t a holly, jolly time for the famed TV producer, as Paltrow said:

Well that has got to be pretty disappointing, especially for someone like Gwyneth Paltrow, who is a fan of the most wonderful time of the year.

Perhaps that brain of Brad Falchuk — who has partnered with Ryan Murphy on everything from Nip/Tuck to American Horror Story to 9-1-1 — is too dark and skeptical to buy in to the naughty-and-nice of it all (and I admit I agree with Jason Schwartzman that it’s really creepy to think that Santa’s always watching you).

Either way, it doesn’t sound like the Avengers: Endgame actress has let her husband rain on her parade of holiday festivities too much, as she continued:

At least she has the kids to celebrate the yuletide with her! Actually, if she and all the children in their blended family are fans of the holiday, it sounds like it’s Brad Falchuk who’s alone!

Of course, Brad Falchuk is actually far from the only person to hate the holidays. Colin Firth — despite being part of the ensemble in the beloved Christmas movie Love Actually, not to mention Bridget Jones’ Diary — has said this time of year “turns us all into Scrooge,” once telling The Daily Mail:

Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus came out with “My Sad Christmas Song” years ago, because, according to the lyrics, “there's no one here next to me.” However, she may change her stance now that she’s apparently engaged to Maxx Morando.

When it comes to this Christmas specifically, Brad Falchuk just might have something to celebrate with his wife come December 25, as that’s the day her new movie Marty Supreme hits theaters. You never know when that heart might grow three sizes!

Gwyneth Paltrow has been around since the very beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While she didn’t get to wear armor nearly as often as her co-star Robert Downey Jr., she saw more of the franchise happen than almost anybody else, which is why it’s so funny that she seemingly isn’t aware of any of it.

Paltrow recently received a very nice award, and her co-star and friend Mr. Downey was on hand to present it to her. During his introduction, he poked fun at Paltrow for not remembering who some of her other co-stars were, including Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. Downey brought up a conversation they apparently had, saying…

Fans, perhaps unsurprisingly, are eating this up because the idea that Gwyneth Paltrow didn’t know who Tom Holland was, and was seemingly confused on his name, is kind of hilarious. Some responding to the viral quite are being quite critical of the actress for this, but most are just laughing along with the situations saying things like…

• gwyneth paltrow asking who tom holland is after 4 movies together is the most gwyneth paltrow thing ever - @MrBrondorDeFi
• gwyneth living in her own cinematic universe and honestly i respect it - @jupturkey
• Gwyneth Paltrow is too chilled to remember some names, i love her - @kingscrownBTC
• Part of me feels like this is really pompous. The other part of me is like, ‘how iconic’ - @writtenbychamp
• Peak Gwyneth energy: forgetting coworkers but remembering every type of herbal tea ever invented. - @realdesivoice

The fact that Paltrow apparently didn’t remember Tom Holland is apparently news to a lot of people, but the reason that Robert Downey Jr. likely brought it up is that it’s actually a fairly well-known story. Tom Holland himself has discussed being forgotten by Gwyneth Paltrow, twice. Even Holland has had some fun at the actress's expense on the topic.

Paltrow’s seeming lack of ability to keep track of the MCU is somewhat famous. She’s routinely forgotten what movies she’s been in. She forgets what actors have been in movies with her. Some of this is pretty understandable. Outside of the Iron Man franchise, Paltrow’s role has generally been much smaller, and when you’re acting against green screens, it’s perhaps easier not to remember which scene you were in was for which movie.

Whether we’ll see Paltrow’s Pepper Potts in any future Marvel movies remains to be seen. It’s likely her time in the MCU is done. Although I suppose it’s equally possible that she’s part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast, but doesn’t actually know that.

Gwyneth Paltrow may have been mostly retired from acting for the last few years, but she’s clearly made some good friends in her time in Hollywood. Paltrow recently received the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the THR Women in Entertainment 2025 gala, and her friend and co-star Robert Downey Jr. was on hand to sing her praises and also roast her a bit. Not bad for a guy who apparently would rather have been in bed.

The award presentation was apparently very early, leading ET to remark to Paltrow that she had gotten Downey out of bed to present the award. Paltrow expected to get an earful on that, but then she praised her co-star’s talent and admitted how happy she was that he was there. Paltrow said…

For the record, Robert Downey Jr. didn’t complain about having to wake up during his introduction of Gwyneth Paltrow. What he did do was poke a bit of fun at her, amidst a flood of praise. Specifically he teased her over the fact that, despite the fact that Paltrow was a constant part of the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she seemingly never had a clue what was going on with it. Paltrow had a tendency to forget which movies she was in and even forget one of her other co-stars. Downey joked about a conversation he had with Paltrow, saying…

Despite the jokes from both sides, what was clear from both of their comments was how much these two actors clearly adore each other. Downey praised Paltrow's ability to juggle both Hollywood and her wellness empire while also being a mother. One needs only look at a picture of the two of them together to see how much they enjoy being together.

Downey himself posted a picture of the pair from the event, with a caption of his own celebrating his MCU co-star in the sweetest way, saying simply…

While Downey is set to return to the MCU next year, though not (as far as we’re aware) as Tony Stark, there’s no confirmation that Gwyneth Paltrow will be reprising her role as Pepper Potts, or perhaps as a multiverse variant of her. Although considering how little Paltrow seems to know about the franchise, maybe she’s in it but isn’t aware.

In recent years, Gwyneth Paltrow has mostly said goodbye to her acting career as she mainly focuses on being Goop’s CEO. That said, she has a new role among 2025 movie releases that's been abuzz for about a year and a half now. Paltrow signed up for Marty Supreme last summer, and she went viral while filming it in New York City when photos of her and co-star Timothée Chalamet kissing (in character) dropped. How’d Paltrow’s two kids take those photos of her their mom going everywhere?

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Paltrow recalled the reactions of her 21-year-old daughter Apple and 19-year-old son, Moses. In her words:

53-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow plays the love interest to 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, which critics haven’t quit praising since the movie first screened at the New York Film Festival in October. Chalamet is currently neck-and-neck with Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor in Gold Derby’s Oscar odds (while Paltrow is listed as No. 6 in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Apparently, Apple and her momma are “really good friends” aside from being mother and daughter, and she “gets it” when it comes to things like this. Paltrow also told the magazine that her text chats with mom friends were also going off after the photos came out last fall. In her words:

Before Marty Supreme, Gwyneth Paltrow’s last movie appearance was in Avengers: Endgame, which was a rather small role. In recent years, she’s talked a lot about being content with stepping away from acting, but apparently when the Josh Safdie movie came to her, she was dealing with her kids going away for college and dealing with “real panic” around her “purpose.”

So in some ways, her kids actually helped influence her role in Marty Supreme, where she plays a wealthy and retired actress. Previously, Paltrow has teased that her and Chalamet’s character, who is an aspiring ping pong champion based on Marty Reisman, “have a lot of sex” in the movie. Paltrow caught some heat for her comments on working with an intimacy coordinator for the first time on the movie. You can check out the trailer for Marty Supreme below:

The drama is set in New York City in the 1950s, where it follows Chalamet’s Marty Mauser as he pursues competitive table tennis. Marty Supreme hits theaters on Christmas Day, December 25.

Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscar-winning actress, but in recent years, she’s been known more for her career outside of Hollywood, in the health and wellness sphere. The actress recently revealed that she attempted to use her knowledge to help out her castmate Timothée Chalamet on the set of the upcoming A24 film Marty Supreme, not realizing that the actor’s apparent bad skin was really just makeup.

Paltrow recently appeared on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, where she was asked what sorts of roles she’s looking for now that she’s being more choosy with her performances. The actress said she’d be interested in a role that used make-up to transform her physically, something she’s never really done, and would be interested in playing older characters, before revealing how her co-star was transformed himself for Marty Supreme. Paltrow said:

Sometimes makeup can be simple, sometimes it requires hours in the chair, but when it’s done well, it can look real, not only on a movie screen but when you’re standing next to it. It’s a testament to the work that was done that while it may have been simple, making Chalamet’s skin look a certain way, it was able to fool people up close.

This is the opposite of what apparently happened on the set of Christy, when Sydney Sweeney apparently assumed that the weight gained by co-star Ben Foster was done via prosthetics, when it was actually just eating a lot more.

And I mean, it’s certainly possible that Timothée’s real skin was covered in acne scars. It could be that he used makeup in other films to cover it up, but the decision was made not to do that here. However, Paltrow assures anybody who is worried that Timothée Chalamet has glorious skin in real life. She continued:

I, for one, am greatly relieved to know that Timothée Chalamet has beautiful skin. I honestly don’t know what I would have done with myself otherwise. I'm sure many others feel the same. bBut we’ll all be able to get a very realistic look at what he would look like with bad skin when Marty Supreme hits theaters this Christmas.

Timothée Chalamet has been involved in a number of award-worthy projects over the past couple of years, including last year’s A Complete Unknown and Dune: Part Two. He’s not slowing down, either, with Marty Supreme hitting the 2025 movie calendar this month and already generating Oscar buzz for its lead actor. Critics have seen the upcoming A24 film, and they’re definitely fanning those flames.

Marty Supreme stars Timothée Chalamet as table tennis player Marty Mauser in a sports dramedy from Josh Safdie that’s loosely based on real-life champion Marty Reisman. Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to the big screen for the first time since Avengers: Endgame, and for a sports movie about ping pong, the trailer looks pretty intense. It seems like David Ehrlich of IndieWire would cosign this sentiment, as he calls Chalamet’s performance “legendary” in an “agonizing” epic about the true cost of greatness. He gives it an A, writing:

David Rooney of THR describes what Timothée Chalamet does in Marty Supreme as “Duracell Bunny physicality” and says the movie as a whole “is a wonder.” It strikes the critic as funny that this is Josh Safdie’s first feature since 2008 without his brother Benny, because, as Rooney puts it:

Michael Calabro of IGN rates it an “Amazing” 9 out of 10, saying that Marty Supreme is equal parts fun and stressful. The film combines Josh Safdie’s chaotic directing style with Timothée Chalamet’s charisma to make a movie that is, “without a doubt, one of the year’s best films.” Calabro continues:

Pete Hammond of Deadline praises all of the efforts behind the scenes of Marty Supreme, including production design, the period costuming and the musical score in creating what is so much more than a sports biopic. Of course, he also lauds the lead actor, comparing his talents to Adam Sandler’s in Uncut Gems. Hammond writes:

Time Magazine’s Stephanie Zacharek seems to be the rare outlier, as the critic pushes back against the notion that audiences are supposed to relish Marty’s passion despite how many people he has to steamroll to get to greatness. Such an idea can be fun, but this movie is as “hollow as a ping pong ball,” Zacharek says, all the way up to the main character’s unrealistic redemption. The critic says:

Timothée Chalamet put in a lot of preparation for this role, and it seems like in the eyes of most critics, it’s paying off in spades. We’ll have to see what happens when Marty Supreme hits theaters on December 25 and if we’ll see this title or Chalamet’s name on any ballots come awards season.

Ryan Reynolds is widely known for headlining films like Deadpool, The Proposal and The Adam Project as an actor, yet he has also emerged as a skilled marketer. With that, he’s become quite savvy when it comes to crafting commercials. Reynolds put those skills to use months ago when he produced an ad for Astronomer, the company embroiled in that Coldplay kiss cam situation. While Reynolds’ jokey ad, which features Gwyneth Paltrow, nods at the controversy, there’s also a keen reason for him wanting to make it.

For those who need context, during a Coldplay concert this past July, now-former Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was spotted with his arms around Kristin Cabot, a Human Resources exec for the company. The two were seen via a kiss cam and, once the screen showed them, they attempted to hide. Amid the now-viral situation, the aforementioned band’s lead singer, Chris Martin, mused that the two may be having an “affair.” Both Cabot and Byron later stepped down from their respective positions.

The previously mentioned ad, which debuted just weeks after the concert moment, was produced by Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort production banner. Of course, Reynolds and co. were aware of the Byron/Cabot situation as evidenced by Gwyneth Paltrow (who was married to Chris Martin for nearly 13 years) jokingly alluding to the controversy in the ad. However, Reynolds explained during the Wall Street Journal's CMO Council Summit (via People) that he wanted the ad to be more informative than satirical:

Astronomer is a startup company founded in 2018 that assists companies in finding efficient ways to calculate and manage data. The organization’s goals are what apparently motivated the Spirited star to produce a commercial that explains what the group does:

That’s an affable reason for wanting to create a commercial like this and, while the ad is legitimately funny, it also sheds light on the company at the center of it. Check it out:

Honestly, it’s been interesting to see just how skilled Ryan Reynolds and his team have been when it comes to marketing. I don’t know how the multihyphenate and his team do it, but they just consistently find fun ways to advertise. Among their best productions are that viral Mint Mobile commercial involving Rick Moranis and that Aviation Gin ad that lampoons Hot Frosty. The Father’s Day ad from Reynolds’ gin brand is very funny as well.

That Astronomer commercial isn’t the only way in which the situation has been nodded at either. Film production company Neon also touched on the scandal with a piece of marketing for the horror film Together. The concert faux pas became so famous that even NFL fans mentioned it when watching a fan rushing out of the sightline of a stadium camera during a Bills/Patriots game earlier this fall.

Jokes aside, the kiss cam situation resulted in significant ramifications not just for Astronomer but for Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot’s lives and careers. Keeping that in mind, it’s admirable that Ryan Reynolds sought to turn a negative into a positive using his commercial.

Did you know Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow are friends? Even though the obvious connection between the actresses is the fact that they both dated Brad Pitt, they actually met through Friends’ David Schwimmer back in the 1990s when Paltrow was in a movie with him. Obviously, they’ve gossiped about their mutual ex before, but Aniston recently pointed out one great thing about her longtime friend that she admires.

When Aniston was on Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s Armchair Expert podcast, she discussed a variety of topics openly, including getting real about her misconstrued comments about the Met Gala. During the sprawling conversation, she also pointed out why Gwyneth Paltrow is so good at being a high-profile name. In her words:

If you were near any grocery store in the early 2000s, you likely remember Jennifer Aniston’s face being all over tabloid magazine covers alongside a salacious headline of the week. During her new interview, it was pointed out to her that she’s had 2,000 tabloid covers and how she took all the coverage of her “very personally” – because she used to believe those headlines when she saw them growing up.

When Shepard mentioned her ongoing friendship with Paltrow, as they had just moved on from the topic, she said the comments above, giving the Iron Man actress props for being one of those people she can turn to when the noise gets loud when it comes to being a public persona. As one can certainly understand, the Friends actress could never quite understand why people feel like they have the “right to know about your personal life”.

While Aniston has shared that she’s been greatly affected by the downfalls of fame, she looks to Paltrow for her sensibility regarding why what people say ultimately doesn’t matter. Aniston also said this about how she handles being constantly talked about in the press nowadays:

Aniston has a solid approach to handling constant attention, but certainly it didn’t come to her overnight. She’s been in the industry for nearly 40 years now, and it surely hasn’t been easy to navigate. Like Aniston, Paltrow has had a lot of tabloid coverage about her life, from going viral for her “consciously uncoupling” statement about her separation from Chris Martin in 2014 to the ski trial she was part of in 2023 to her infamous Goop vagina candles.

It would seem like having a thick skin, or simply not caring about others’ opinions so much, would be the recipe for being famous for a long time, and per Aniston, Paltrow has got it!

Over the years, Gwyneth Paltrow has been in seven Marvel movies, starting with the MCU film that ushered in the franchise, 2008’s Iron Man. Back in 2019 the actress seemingly said goodbye to the MCU when she appeared as Pepper Potts in Avengers: Endgame, but per recent comments, we could see her in one of the upcoming Marvel movies on the way. As a fan of the comic book universe since the beginning, I have an idea of where and how I’d like to see her if it does happen.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Name-Dropped Marvel In Recent Appearance

The actress and Goop CEO was a keynote speaker at Providence’s Brown University over the weekend, which her son Moses Martin currently attends. During a question and answer portion of the event she said the following about “future projects”, The Brown Daily Herald:

That’s the scope of what we know about Paltrow and how she might return to the MCU, but how exciting is that should the “might” become a reality? Currently, it’s been over six years since Potts’ last appearance in the superhero franchise.

Paltrow’s history talking about the MCU over the years has had an interesting past. She has gushed about how much she loved working with Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau on the first movie (despite her distaste for her wig), but has also been honest about never actually watching an Avengers movie. She’s also forgotten she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming on multiple occasions. But it looks like that doesn’t mean she’ll never answer the call to return to her iconic character.

How I’d Like To See Pepper Potts Return To The MCU

Because Pepper Potts will forever be associated with Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man, and RDJ is officially coming back to the MCU next year as a part of the Avengers: Doomsday cast, I’d like to see Paltrow return alongside her real-life friend in some capacity. I have two perfect ideas about how I’d like to see it happen.

The first is, I’d like to see her help the Avengers take down Downey’s Doctor Doom perhaps with some interpersonal thing she knows about her late husband that somehow connects with Downey's two MCU characters. Using Iron Man technology against him would be kind of bittersweet because it's like she's fighting her husband, and could also be a beautiful tribute to their legacy on the Iron Man trilogy.

The other idea I have is if Gwyneth Paltrow plays another character in the MCU from Downey’s Doctor Doom universe just like him. That would be a fun way to see the pair together, but bring us something different from the dynamic we remember from Stark and Potts in their other MCU movies. I’m thinking about the upcoming Avengers movies, but I could also see her making a cameo in the next Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day. As it goes with the MCU, the secrecy is strong. Who knows, maybe she's already filmed it!

Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to public attention and, at times, scrutiny. She’s faced it all over the years, and a more recent example of that came during her ski trial. The event was covered heavily by the media, and the way the actress acted during it was a major focus. Now, while she seemed very cool as it was happening, she’s opening up about moments like that and why they can be “upsetting.”

These comments from Paltrow came after the book, Gwyneth: The Biography, was mentioned in a profile by Vogue UK. She opened up about the energy she feels during big moments like that, and why it’s “upsetting.” Candidly, she explained:

While she gave a few examples of big moments overwhelming her nervous system, the ski trial sticks out, simply because of how highly covered and fairly recent it was. Back in 2023, Paltrow went to trial over a ski accident that happened seven years earlier. She was sued by a retired Utah optometrist, Terry Sanderson, who claimed she ran into him and caused injuries that impacted his life in negative ways.

Ultimately, Paltrow won the ski trial. She was awarded $1 and legal fees in her countersuit, and it was finalized that she was not at fault for the crash. However, the wild moments from this trial lived on. For example, her response to the win, “I wish you well,” went viral and sparked many viral memes.

Now, going back to this new interview, the Shakespeare in Love star got candid about being a public figure and having her life analyzed by so many. She explained that this energy that comes with it “is real,” and she noted that she’s gotten “pretty good” at handling situations that are emotional or scuritized:

Like I said, Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to getting a lot of public attention, as her work, love life, personal life and, in this case, legal issues, have all made major headlines over the years. Overall, it sounds like she’s figured out how to handle it all and is aware of the negative impact it can have on her and her energy.

Now, hopefully, the next thing she’ll probably make headlines for, the film on the 2025 movie schedule, Marty Supreme, will be the cause of good and not upsetting energy. So far, there’s been a lot of hype around it, Timothée Chalamet’s performance as the titular character, and Paltrow’s return to acting for it. So, I have a feeling it will continue to bring good energy.

However, no matter what happens to the actress, she’s made it clear that she knows how to weather the storms and all the attention that can come with it, like it did with that ski trial.

It's hard to deny that Apple Martin looks just like her famous mom, Gwyneth Paltrow. Aside from having her genes, though, Martin also apparently wants to see what she looks like wearing her mom’s famous red carpet ensembles. Despite loving to wear the Iron Man actress’ clothes, though Martin admits trying on her shoes is a bit of a problem because of her larger feet.

Just like how Heidi Klum and her daughter, Leni, modeled lingerie together, Gwyneth Paltrow and her daughter, Apple, are a mother/daughter modeling team. In their interview with Vogue, it was revealed that the pair struck poses together for the GapStudio fall 2025 campaign. While speaking to the publication, Paltrow admitted that before becoming a mother, she had already put together her future daughter’s wardrobe, which is actually quite impressive in some respects:

Gwyneth Paltrow is the definition of a girl mom! It's honestly very sweet that the Oscar winner was already imagining and planning for your daughter’s fashion future before she was even born. It tracks that Paltrow would want to make sure the fashionista torch is passed on accordingly.

In terms of what clothes of her mother’s that Apple likes to wear, Paltrow said her 21-year-old wears her ‘90s-era Calvin Klein attire, like the amazing dress she wore on a date with Brad Pitt, and those Prada pieces from the '90s. Of course, Paltrow’s Oscar dresses are a must, like the Proof actress’s infamous goth look at the 2002 Oscars. While she hasn’t worn Paltrow’s famous pink Ralph Lauren dress from the night she won Best Actress in 1999, Martin has donned an alternate take from the same brand that consisted of a bubblegum skirt and a pink bra top.

Despite loving to wear her mom’s memorable dresses, Apple Martin admits there’s one snag to trying on all of Gwyneth Paltrow’s clothes:

As someone like me, who has small feet, I understand that the struggle is real about not being able to fit into every shoe that you try on. However, at least the English-American socialite was able to find pairs to fit into. That included pair of Prada kitten heels she said she loves, so she could still walk the walk like her mother.

Martin shouldn't fret about her feet, though, as they could end up becoming quite famous in their own right one day, depending on the kind of work she does. It may sound wild, but there are stars who've become famous, in part, for their feet. Margot Robbie's feet have become quite iconic, as they've been highlighted in a few of the films she's done. Who knows, if Martin dives into acting, maybe her own tootsies will become notable.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow, during her time in the spotlight, she was inspired (fashion-wise) by stars like Lauren Hutton and Anjelica Huston. Paltrow appreciated the “very strong masculine-feminine intersectional vibe” those actresses gave off. When it comes to Apple, though, she said her fashion sensibilities came solely from the talented woman who raised her:

Someone would be hard-pressed to have a better fashion role model than that. As the Shakespeare in Love star’s threads have proven to be bold and timeless, Martin can navigate the fashion world with the same sense of confidence and poise as Paltrow did before her and continue to walk in her shoes… when they fit, of course. Despite the foot size issue, that’s clearly not going to stopping Apple Martin from continuously walking in them and making the unforgettable footwear her own.

As for Gwyneth Paltrow, fans can watch her grace the big screen again with her 2025 movie release, Marty Supreme, which opens in theaters on Christmas Day.

With a career that has included massive blockbusters like the Dune movies and an Academy Award nomination for playing Bob Dylan, a lot of people are going to have their eyes on Timothée Chalamet's upcoming projects. What's next for the actor is the upcoming A24 movie called Marty Supreme, and the first look at the film already has my attention.

Timothée Chalamet's next movie had already turned heads, if for no other reason than the actor's look, sporting a pencil mustache and looking almost like a young Walt Disney. We knew the film, from Josh Safdie would probably be something to talk about, but I wasn't expecting this.

Marty Supreme Looks Sweet And Serious In Equeal Measure

Marty Supreme somehow looks incredibly sweet and fun, and quite dramatic all at once. The new trailer shows us a guy who is an incredibly great table tennis player, and is romancing Gwyneth Paltrow (among others), not exactly things that require high drama.

But table tennis is a serious game in this movie. Marty Supreme usn't just a great player, he's trying to put the entire sport on the map, and he appears to be incredibly dedicated to doing this. I've never been more interested in ping pong in my life.

It has the vibe of a "feel good" movie that sees Marty Supreme as a character chasing a dream, but at other moments we see the character being threatened by people, appearing to carry on a pair of personal relationships, and in one brief shot we see what appears to be some sort of explosion.

Perhaps it shouldn't be that surprising. Marty Supreme is being directed by Josh Safdie, one half of the brotherly duo that brought us Uncut Gems. That movie also gave us moments with a character who was both incredibly charismatic and yet, frequently terrible, who got in over his head.

It's possible we could see a similar story here. Timothée Chalamet may be playing our title character, the man we will follow through the film, but it's far from clear from all this whether he's really the "good guy" or not.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Return To Movies Is Being Left Somewhat Mysterious

One of the reasons that Marty Supreme is noteworthy is that it will mark a major return to the screen for Gwyneth Paltrow. Her roles have been few and far between of late.

While we see her character in the trailer, and she has second billing behind Chalamet, she isn't in the trailer all that much, leaving details of her role a bit of a mystery. That said, we do know that the two characters will have some sort of romance as Paltrow has already talked about the sex scenes in Marty Supreme between them.

Timothée Chalamet didn't go home with an Oscar this year. Based on the first look at his new film, it looks like he might have another shot at the coveted award next year.

Jennifer Aniston is set to make a big return on the 2025 TV schedule when The Morning Show Season 4 is available to stream with an Apple TV+ subscription in September, and you can bet she’ll be making more than a few headlines while promoting her character Alex Levy’s upcoming trials and tribulations. Fans can also bet she’ll be making a point of gabbing with and hanging out with her closest galpals like Sandra Bullock and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Despite being one of the planet’s most recognizable and beloved celebrities, Aniston hasn’t ever fully embraced the limelight in the way that others have, as she doesn’t view fame as being as vital a part of life as friendship, telling Vanity Fair that when she was in her 20s, she began joining women’s circles with her female companions, which had quite an effect. In her words:

Both Aniston and Bullock talked about their burgeoning friendship that started at some point around 2010 when they met during a mutual friend’s wedding. In this case, “met” means downed a bunch of shots with, and it was apparently such a positive experience that they’ve remained friends ever since, despite waking up the next day still feeling the alcohol. As Bullock put it:

Despite any such industry perceptions, Bullock and Aniston bonded over a shared love of many things, including practical jokes and interior design. Bullock also gives Aniston lots of love and credit for being so open and inviting, and her willingness to let others into her life.

The two mega-stars also happened to both date Friends co-star Tate Donovan, which is also something of a throughline in Aniston's relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Well, not directly involving Tate Donovan, but rather someone else who did also appear on Friends: Brad Pitt, the famed ex-hubby of both Paltrow and Aniston.

They first met when the latter's TV co-star David Schwimmer was filming the 1996 comedy The Pallbearer, and Jennifer Aniston noted that she "went to her and Brad's engagement party." But while Pitt is no longer romantically involved with either of them (and has completely different former marriage issues), the two women are still as close as ever.

When asked if they ever talk about the Se7en star, Aniston responded gamely with:

However, she also pointed out that their discussions revolve around far more than just past relationships with A+ stars. They're also quick to get tips from each other. As she put it:

If only we could all be the kind of friend that Jennifer Aniston is to her nearest and dearest, hanging out on vacation and during her Sunday night all-star dinners. Which is to say, someone should get my name on that invite list, even if it requires an elaborate false persona.

Meanwhile, on the TV side of things, The Morning Show Season 4 will debut on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, September 17.

Martha Stewart may have changed the game of lifestyle branding, but plenty of female trailblazers came after her. For instance, Gwyneth Paltrow took to Netflix to share all about her lifestyle and wellness company, Goop. But as Meghan Markle created her own lifestyle Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, Stewart was asked how she felt about the Duchess of Sussex shifting into lifestyle, and she didn’t hold back.

Meghan Markle’s first steps into lifestyle started with her blog The Tig, which ran from 2014 to 2017. After creating her cooking brand As Ever, the Suits alum headlined her 2025 Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, where she shared her personal tips and how-tos on cooking, gardening, and hosting.

In May, Martha Stewart took the high road and didn’t bother answering about Meghan Markle allegedly copying her. With Yahoo! Lifestyle, on the other hand, the American businesswoman decided not to hold back her answer when asked the same question:

Well, Meghan Markle did show off a unique way of cooking pasta on her Netflix show that had mixed reactions. While some were scratching their heads seeing the former actress pour boiling water over dried pasta, others felt the one-pot pasta recipe was really good. So, I guess Markle does know her stuff, even if not everybody agrees with her approach.

As Martha Stewart has been in the lifestyle business since 1976, it’s safe to say she definitely knows her stuff. She continued to tell Yahoo! Lifestyle that she hopes Meghan Markle will be “authentic” in her line of work:

Unfortunately, Meghan Markle has received her share of criticism from those who watched With Love, Meghan. Widespread complaints about the Netflix series had one critic saying it was “out of touch” using cookware that was too fancy for the average cook, and celeb chef Jameston Stocks said the show was “painful to watch.” Despite the criticism, the Duchess refused to let any negativity bother her and felt she was being her authentic self.

While Martha Stewart doesn’t know Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand too well, that doesn’t mean she’s not aware of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. The Martha Stewart Living publisher made sure to sing her praises to the Oscar winner:

There’s no doubt that Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand is a growing success. Initially starting as a newsletter, the lifestyle brand has transformed throughout the years into an e-commerce site, a Netflix series, a podcast, and retail stores. Sure, there are unconventional products like questionable vaginal eggs or explosive vagina candles. But you can’t deny that its publicity has drawn in curious customers.

With Love, Meghan was initially not going to return for season 2 after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s deal with Netflix was reportedly scrapped. But despite the rumors, Markle is allegedly returning to the streamer, knowing Netflix will benefit from promoting the lifestyle guru’s As Ever brand through her series. Martha Stewart had a quick response to the Los Angeles native as her work goes forward:

There you have it. It looks like Martha Stewart has given her seal of approval.

Based on Martha Stewart’s honest take on Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series, the former television host seems to be fine with the media personality following in her footsteps as long as she knows her stuff. When you think about it, every lifestyle brand offers something new to the table, and there’s room for more than one trendsetter in the spotlight. Until we know for sure what’s happening with Season 2 of With Love, Meghan, you can watch Season 1 on your Netflix subscription.

A biography on Gwyneth Paltrow has just been released, revealing several juicy allegations about the actress. In the biography’s excerpts, journalist author Amy Odell claimed that the Goop founder allegedly had an “icy” attitude on the sets of her movies, such as A Perfect Murder and the Best Picture winner Shakespeare in Love, where she won an Oscar. But one allegation I absolutely didn’t see coming was the brutal nickname she reportedly gave Winona Ryder when their friendship was ending.

Why Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder Initially Ran Around Together In Hollywood

Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder were actresses who dominated ‘90s movie roles. So, it’s no surprise that the two were good friends.

According to Gwyneth: A Biography (via DailyMail), Paltrow and Ryder first ran around together in Hollywood during the time she and Brad Pitt dated, starting from 1994. Paltrow’s breakup with Pitt in 1997 led her to move in with Ryder, in need of support from a friend.

The two friends would be in a friendship square, as the Emma actress was in a relationship with Ben Affleck that year, and the Heathers actress was dating Matt Damon. Since Damon and Affleck had a notable Hollywood bromance, this Hollywood foursome would be a perfect blend, right? However, Gwyneth Paltrow’s biography excerpts detailed what reportedly caused the friendship between the two actresses to fall apart.

Why Their Relationship Allegedly Soured, Leading To One Memorable Nickname

Amy Odell’s biography alleged that Winona Ryder and her then-boyfriend, Matt Damon argued. When she came back to her and Gwyneth Paltrow’s apartment, the Lucas actress reportedly claimed to have been robbed. The same thing allegedly happened a second time, where the actress made the same assertion.

Damon was sympathetic to his then-girlfriend’s claims. But the biography said Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly believed Winona Ryder had an ulterior motive in her repeated robbery accounts:

Things between Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder apparently didn’t get any better. In fact, Gwyneth: A Biography stated that the Proof actress allegedly gave the Stranger Things star a brutal nickname I never would have seen coming:

A reportedly brutal nickname like this seems to reflect the alleged state of the deteriorating friendship the two actresses reportedly had. After Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck broke up in 2000, she would go on to marry Coldplay’s Chris Martin in 2003 and have two kids. After their amicable divorce in 2016, Paltrow is now married to producer Brad Falchuk.

As for Winona Ryder, she and Matt Damon broke up in 2000. But ever since 2011, the Reality Bites actress has been dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn.

While it’s not surprising drama would be brewing in Hollywood when the cameras are off, I never would have expected Gwyneth Paltrow’s allegedly brutal nickname for her ex-friend Winona Ryder. The biography’s reported revelation shows the complicated dynamics that could occur between two actresses rising to fame in the ‘90s.

Gwyneth: A Biography is available on Amazon and the shelves of your local bookstore. Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2025 movie release, Marty Supreme, hits theaters on Christmas Day. Make sure to also watch Winona Ryder’s 2025 Netflix release of Stranger Things, coming for part one of its final season on November 26th.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been a celebrity for decades, and famously won an Oscar for her work on Shakespeare in Love. Over the years she's also made plenty of headlines for her company Goop as well as her famous relationships. A biography about the actress was just published, including a story where she and Ben Affleck allegedly got caught having sex on set.

Paltrow and her family have reportedly been anxious about the biography, and how it dives into her romantic history. Gwyneth: The Biography was written by Amy Odell, and parts of it are already breaking the internet. InStyle highlighted one, about a steamy moment Affleck and Paltrow stole in the set of Shakespeare in Love. It reads:

Talk about a story that's going to sell some books. Despite the years that passed, Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship continues to intrigue the general public. And the chatter about what used to be will likely get louder as a result of this story making its way into Gwyneth biography.

Obviously there are other famous exes from the Glee alum's past, as Paltrow also dated Brad Pitt famously. But its the Affleck sections of her biography that might be the steamiest. Another section (via Vulture) claimed that she talked openly about sex with the Batman v Superman star, it reads:

The section also goes into more detail about the specifics that happened sexually between the pair of A-listers, and I can only imagine how Paltrow feels about that. While she and Affleck are both likely used to making headlines over relationships, this is an especially intimate peek behind the curtain.

Obviously it's been a long time since these two celebs were together, with Ben Affleck's relationship with Jennifer Lopez making countless headlines. As for Paltrow, she's had more notable relationships, famously consciously uncoupling with ex Chris Martin before her marriage to Brad Falchuk. Although suddenly that decades-old pairing is back in the mainstream in a major way.

Only time will tell how many stories from Gwyneth: The Biography end up going viral, and if/how the actress herself will respond to the book. While being a celebrity is a dream come true for so many out there, this shows what a double-edged sword that can be. We all have exes; I'm just glad no on wrote about mine.

The past couple of weeks likely haven’t been the best for former Astronomer executives Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot (and their families), after their affair was outed on the big screen at a Coldplay concert. For the general public, however, the situation has been an endless source of entertainment, with even Gwyneth Paltrow getting involved. So how did Chris Martin’s ex-wife end up teaming with Astronomer for an ad poking fun at that wild Kiss Cam moment?

A little over a week after the Coldplay Kiss Cam footage began circulating — which showed CEO Andy Byron ducking out of view of the camera as Kristin Cabot turned and ran away after they were caught cuddling — Astronomer addressed the viral moment in a pretty hilarious way. They hired Gwyneth Paltrow on a “very temporary basis” to answer the public’s most common questions. Check it out for yourself below:

In the minute-long ad, the Coldplay lead singer’s ex-wife humorously cuts off questions about the cheating scandal — both Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot are reportedly married to other people — to answer questions about what the other 300 employees of the tech company do (for work, not at Coldplay concerts).

You have to respect Astronomer for leaning into the humor of it all — it does seem futile to fight the viral moment — and the decision to involve Gwyneth Paltrow of all people is pretty brilliant. So how did it come together? It turns out it was the self-deprecation of it all that made the Oscar winner agree to the ad. An insider told People:

So apparently the company came up with the idea and just called up the Goop founder. She liked the tone they were going for, so it all apparently came together pretty quickly.

Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have both resigned from their positions at Astronomer following the viral moment, which has been dissected, recreated and mocked on every platform from big screens at other concerts and sporting events to social media videos. It has even become part of the marketing plan for the upcoming horror movie Together (hitting the 2025 movie calendar on July 30).

Chris Martin hasn’t said too much about the incident, but during another Coldplay show in the days that followed, he made sure to give the audience plenty of warning that they were about to “use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin got married in 2003 and had two children before their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016. To this day they remain close, with Paltrow penning a sweet birthday tribute to the Coldplay singer earlier this year, but I’d be very interested to hear what Martin thinks about Paltrow teaming up with Astronomer.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been an A-list actor for decades, so the public has followed both her professional and personal life. And while Paltrow's Oscar win helped her make headlines, so have her famous relationship. A biography about the actress turned business mogul is coming out, and an alleged insider revealed how she and husband Brad Falchuk feel about it going into her dating history.

Amy Odell's Gwyneth: The Biography will release on July 29th, and is expected to be a detail-oriented look at Paltrow's life and career. That includes her relationship with Brad Pitt and other famous exes. An anonymous insider spoke to Star Magazine, and claimed that the book's impending release causing anxiety. They allege:

The tea is scalding. While the identity of this source is a mystery, they claim that Falchuk is worried about the "exciting" stage of Paltrow's life coming back to the forefront. What's more, he has reportedly not been pleased when the subject of her exes have come up throughout the years.

This report claims that Falchuk is "can’t help but feel triggered" when it comes to his wife's history being "dredged up again." If true, I can only imagine how Paltrow's birthday message to her ex Chris Martin made him feel. Later in that report, the same anonymous insider revealed how the Glee guest star feels about the impending biography written about her, claiming:

Honestly, who could blame her? While we all have exes, having your former relationship explored in a book is a uniquely Hollywood experience. And the biography is expected to feature Paltrow's relationship with Ben Affleck, as well as her famous coupling with Brad Pitt.

So if this source is to be believed, the forthcoming release of Gwyneth: The Biography is serving as a stressor for both Paltrow and Falchuk. And I'm curious what their reaction will be once the book is released to the general public.

Aside from her famous relationships, I have to assume the biography will also focus on Paltrow's famous ski crash lawsuit. While she was the victor in court, it's still another moment in her life that she might not want explored in this way.

Gwyneth: The Biography will arrive July 29th, so the anticipation is about to end. As for Paltrow, she has a few upcoming projects coming up on the 2025 movie release list. We'll just have to see how many headlines come out of the new book, and if Brad Falchuk or Gwyneth herself decide to weigh in.
