Gwyneth Paltrow SharesDetails of Intimate Scenes with Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme
During a Q&A in Santa Monica, Gwyneth Paltrow addressed the unease she initially felt. She acknowledged the age difference without dressing it up, saying, “He was 27 or 28, and I was 50-whatever, and, I mean, it’s weird.” She was concerned about how her co-star, Timothée Chalamet, might perceive the situation. “Oh, if it’s weird for me, then it’s going to probably really weird for [him],” she recalled thinking at the time.
Paltrow explained, “It was a lot of s*x scenes… and I was sort of worried about it too, just having not done all that kind of thing in so long, but it was very comfortable, and it was fine.” Chalamet’s approach was comforting and eased the situation. She described him warmly, noting, “He’s so easy to work with. He’s so brilliant and committed and comfortable and confident.”
Gwyneth Paltrow on Family Reactions and the Mechanics of Movie Intimacy
Recently, appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Paltrow admitted her son Moses struggled with the film’s explicit moments. Asked how he handled them, she replied, “Not great.” She then demonstrated his reaction, crouching and covering her eyes, adding, “[Moses] was like this the entire time. He’s not into that.”
Her daughter Apple viewed it through another lens. Speaking to Extra, Paltrow said, “My daughter thought it was very bad and my son was like, ‘Oh, my God, Mom.’ He was like, ‘This is too much.'”** The divide captured how age shapes comfort levels with on-screen intimacy, even within one family.
Paltrow has long pushed back against the romanticized idea of filming s*x scenes. On The Drew Barrymore Show, she explained, “It’s like you’re making out with someone that you don’t [know]… You’re not in a relationship with them. There’s no romance. It’s like very mechanical.” She summed it up with dry humour, saying, “It’s like a choreography but involving tongues.”
Marty Supreme is now showing in theaters.
