Gwyneth Paltrow has some thoughts—big thoughts—about working with an intimacy coordinator while filming Marty Supreme, a spicy A24 movie that features her and Timothée Chalamet getting, uh… very well-acquainted.
The film follows a young ping-pong prodigy (Timmy) who, for reasons likely unrelated to table tennis, embarks on a scandalous affair with a competitor’s wife (Gwyneth). And, folks, let’s just say there’s a lot of… paddle action.
“I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie. There’s a lot—a lot,” Gwyneth, 52, confessed to Vanity Fair, possibly clutching a Goop-branded jade egg for emotional support.
Enter: The Intimacy Coordinator (And Gwyneth’s Eyebrow Raise)
Because Hollywood is now all about consent and comfort (as it should be), an intimacy coordinator was brought on set to make sure things stayed professional. But Gwyneth? She wasn’t quite sure she needed one.
“There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,” she said, probably while sipping an organic, adaptogenic moon-dust latte. “I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.’”
(Translation: Back in her day, actors were just raw-dogging awkwardness with no chaperone.)
Gwyneth and Timothée apparently told the coordinator, “We’re good. You can step back,” possibly while high-fiving over their professionalism—or their shared love of overpriced wellness products.
“I don’t know how it is for kids just starting out, but if someone was like, ‘Okay, and then he’s going to put his hand here,’ I would feel, as an artist, very stifled by that,” she added.
Meanwhile, in Central Park…
Back in October 2024, New Yorkers enjoying a peaceful stroll through Central Park were suddenly treated to an up-close look at Gwyneth and Timothée’s on-screen romance. The two were spotted filming a passionate kiss—confirming that Marty Supreme is not, in fact, a family-friendly ping-pong drama.
A24, please drop the trailer ASAP. We need to see this fever dream of a movie yesterday.
