    Gwyneth Paltrow was "worried" about her sex scenes with Timothée Chalamet

    The 53-year-old actress was convinced her Marty Supreme co-star would find getting intimate on camera with her "really weird" because of their 23-year age gap and her own reservations, but ultimately it was all "fine".


    Speaking at a Q+A for the movie in Santa Monica earlier this month, People magazine reports she said: "He was 27 or 28, and I was 50-whatever, and, I mean, it's weird.

    "And I [thought], 'Oh, if it's weird for me, then it's going to probably really weird for [him],' but actually, it was fine. It wasn't that weird.

    "It was a lot of sex 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."

    Gwyneth found the A Complete Unknown actor "so easy" to work with on Marty Supreme.

    She gushed: "He's so easy to work with. He's so brilliant and committed and comfortable and confident."

    In December 2025, Gwyneth - who has Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with ex-husband Chris Martin - told how her son covered his eyes during his mom's sex scenes in Marty Supreme.

    During an appearance on NBC's Late Night With Seth Meyers, she was asked how the teen handled the film's sex scenes and replied: "Not great".

    Gwyneth went on to crouch over and put her hands over her eyes, adding: "[Moses] was like this the entire time. He's not into that."

    But despite Moses' embarrassment, his sister Apple thought their mom was "bad-a**" for kissing Timothee, 30, during an intimate scene shot in New York's Central Park for the film.

    She told Extra: "My daughter thought it was very bad-a** and my son was like, 'Oh, my God, Mom.' He was like, 'This is too much.'"

    The Iron Man star previously stressed movie sex scenes are "very mechanical".

    During an appearance 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."

    Actress Drew, 50, agreed, explaining it was like getting intimate with a "colleague".

    Gwyneth quipped: "It's like a choreography but involving tongues."
