Watch: Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow Film PDA-Filled Scene in NY
Gwyneth Paltrow is very conscious of her 23-year age difference with Timothée Chalamet.
Which is why the Oscar winner made light of their generational divide as she reflected on filming her sex scenes with the 29-year-old actor in their upcoming comedy-drama Marty Supreme.
“I was like, ‘Okay, great. I’m 109 years old. You’re 14,” Gwyneth, 52, told Vanity Fair in an interview published March 18, adding, “We have a lot of sex in this movie.”
And given the amount of intimacy in the film, the screen partners had some professional help behind-the-scenes—a first for the Hollywood veteran.
“There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator,” she went on, “which I did not know existed.”
The Goop founder—who shares kids Apple Martin, 20, and Moses Martin, 18, with ex-husband Chris Martin—recalled a specific encounter with the intimacy coordinator on the film regarding the choreography of a scene, which she pushed back on.
“I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on,” Gwyneth explained. “We said, ‘I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back.’”

She continued, “I don’t know how it is for kids who are starting out, but… if someone is like, ‘Okay, and then he’s going to put his hand here,’ I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that.”
Still, Gwyneth came away from the project—her first major acting role since 2019—with high praise for Timothée, whom she dubbed “a thinking man’s sex symbol.”
“He’s just a very polite, properly raised, I was going to say kid,” Gwyneth continued. “He’s a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner.”
