Gwyneth Paltrow Dishes on Steamy ‘Marty Supreme’ Scenes with Timothée Chalamet
Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, is making a return to acting alongside Timothée Chalamet in the upcoming A24 film, “Marty Supreme.” Directed and co-written by Josh Safdie, the film is inspired by professional ping-pong player Marty Reisman and explores an intense relationship between the lead characters.
Paltrow on Getting Hot and Heavy
In a March 17 W Magazine chat, Paltrow didn’t blink at those viral October 2024 NYC set pics—her and Chalamet mid-kiss.
- No Holds Barred: “We have a lot of sex in this movie. A lot—a lot,” she said, teasing “vulnerable positions” that’ll steam up screens. X’s already losing it—“Gwyneth and Timmy? I’m seated” (FilmJunkie_X, March 18).
- The Vibe: She plays a woman tied to a ping-pong mobster, finding spark with Chalamet’s Marty Reisman. “Her life’s been rough—he’s her jolt,” Paltrow said, though it’s “transactional” for both (Variety, March 17).
- Chemistry Check: “He’s a fun partner—sharp, dedicated,” she gushed, calling him a “thinking man’s sex symbol” (Deadline, March 18).
The Age Gap Spotlight
Paltrow’s 52, Chalamet’s 29—a 23-year stretch that’s got tongues wagging.
- No Sweat: “Age doesn’t faze him—he’s a pro,” Paltrow said, praising his prep for the table tennis legend role (People, March 17).
- Fan Takes: X is split—“23 years is wild but they’ll sell it” (@MovieBuff22) vs. “Hollywood’s at it again” (@CineCynic). Either way, anticipation’s spiking (ETimes, March 18).
Intimacy Coordinator? Nah
Paltrow’s old-school—she and Chalamet waved off the modern safety net.
- New Territory: “I didn’t even know intimacy coordinators were a thing,” she laughed. Back in her ‘90s heyday, it was “strip down, hop in bed, roll camera” (W Mag, March 17).
- DIY Comfort: “We told her, ‘We’re good—you can hang back,’” Paltrow said of the coordinator. “Timmy and I handled it fine” (The Wrap, March 18). X’s buzzing—“Gwyneth’s a vibe” (@IndieFilmFan).
Hubby’s Take
Married to Brad Falchuk since 2018, Paltrow didn’t sweat her man’s reaction.
- Cool as Ice: She sidestepped worry, saying Falchuk gets the gig—“It’s work, and Tim’s a gent” (Hindustan Times, March 18).
- Pro Praise: “He’s polite, raised right—a man, not a kid,” she corrected mid-sentence, laughing off her own slip (Variety, March 17).
The Wrap-Up
Fans can look forward to “Marty Supreme,” which is set to premiere on December 25, 2025. The film promises to deliver intense on-screen chemistry between Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet, despite their significant age difference.
