Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she and Timothée Chalamet have ‘a lot of sex’ in new movie

Move over, “Challengers.” There’s a new steamy sports movie in town.

In a Vanity Fair profile published Tuesday, Gwyneth Paltrow shared new details about her first film in six years: “Marty Supreme,” a ping-pong comedy that pairs her with Timothée Chalamet. After Paltrow, 52, and Chalamet, 29, were spotted kissing on set, she teased that there’s more where that came from.

“I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie,” she said. “There’s a lot — a lot.”

Indeed, when Vanity Fair asked the “Iron Man” actress if she is “in a lot of vulnerable positions with” the “Dune” actor, she simply replied, “Beyond.”

This will be Paltrow’s first movie since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” and her first on-screen role in a non-Marvel film since 2015’s “Mortdecai.”

The actress evidently had a bit of catching up to do on how the industry works now, as she told Vanity Fair she was unfamiliar with the role of an intimacy coordinator, which SAG-AFTRA says acts as a liaison between actors and production for nude and intimate scenes. Paltrow did not seem to feel this was necessary, and she recalled that she and Chalamet both told their intimacy coordinator to “step a little bit back” when filming.

“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,” she told Vanity Fair.

Josh Safdie, one half of the Safdie brothers, directed “Marty Supreme,” which is being released by A24. Few details about the plot have been confirmed, but Paltrow told Vanity Fair she plays a woman “who is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia, as it were,” who becomes entangled with Chalamet’s character.
