Gwyneth Paltrow is back in movies after seven years away. She has a supporting role in the new film Marty Supreme, playing a character named Kay Stone, a former actress married to a businessman played by Kevin O Leary. She says independent projects like this have always been her preference.
The film, starring Timothee Chalamet, had a record-breaking limited release last weekend and opens wider on Christmas Day. Paltrow admitted she had not seen Chalamet's previous work nor a film by the Safdie brothers before joining the project. She found it ironic that her character is also returning to acting, though in a different context. Paltrow confessed some personal insecurity about her own comeback, noting the industry has changed since she left to run her company, Goop. This included new norms like working with intimacy coordinators for scenes with Chalamet, and portraying an older woman with a younger man.
She reflected on her early career, barely recalling her Oscar win for Shakespeare in Love at twenty-six, beyond the famous pink dress she wore. Her godfather, Steven Spielberg, gave her a breakout role as Wendy in Hook. Paltrow also discussed her complicated Miramax years working with Harvey Weinstein, expressing pride in the films they made together despite conflicted feelings about that period.
