Gwyneth Paltrow, queen of GOOP and casual oversharing, just dropped some hilarious intel on how her mom squad reacted to those Timothée Chalamet photos—the ones that had the internet collectively clutching its pearls.
Here’s the scene: Last month, the 52-year-old actress and the perpetually brooding, impossibly cheekboned 28-year-old actor were caught mid-makeout for their new movie, Marty Supreme. Naturally, the paparazzi were right there, snapping away as if the fate of humanity depended on capturing the moment Timothée made out with someone who probably has an organic face mist named after her.
Fast forward to Gwyneth spilling the deets on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. With her signature “cool mom who’s also very rich” energy, she laughed about how her mom group text went into full meltdown mode.
“You’re trying to have this scene, it’s supposed to be intimate and all artsy,” she said. “And then—boom!—paparazzi. My mom group texts were on fire. It was all, ‘OMG GWYNETH, WHAT IS HAPPENING?!’ and, ‘Do you need us to send essential oils?!’”
While the movie’s plot is still being kept under wraps (because apparently Hollywood loves secrets as much as Gwyneth loves jade eggs), rumor has it that Timothée plays a character loosely based on Marty Reisman, the “Wizard of Table Tennis.” Yes, a ping pong prodigy. And yes, that means someone thought, “You know what this table tennis movie needs? Timothée Chalamet making out with Gwyneth Paltrow.”
Gwyneth, Timothée, table tennis, and mom texts hotter than a sauna at a GOOP retreat. It’s a cinematic fever dream we didn’t know we needed.
