Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet Heat Up the Screen

Gwyneth Paltrow has made a bold claim about her upcoming movie Marty Supreme, revealing that it features what she calls “a lot of sex” with co-star Timothée Chalamet. The highly anticipated film, set for release in December, is already generating buzz, with fans speculating that it could showcase the best cinema sex ever.

“I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie … there’s a lot — a lot,” Paltrow said in a Vanity Fair interview. The film, directed by Josh Safdie, follows the story of a troubled woman and a rising Ping-Pong champion whose relationship takes a passionate and complex turn.

The Film’s Intense and Unfiltered Love Story

Marty Supreme centers on Chalamet’s character, Martin “Marty” Reisman, a struggling Ping-Pong player determined to make his mark. Paltrow plays a woman caught in a failing marriage to a member of the so-called “Ping-Pong mafia.” Their paths collide in a whirlwind of passion, leading to what could be one of the most memorable love stories in recent cinema.

“They meet, and she’s had a pretty tough life,” Paltrow explained. “I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.”

The film’s description on IMDb hints at a deeper emotional journey, calling Marty “a young man with a dream no one respects” who “goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.”

Best Cinema Sex Ever? Paltrow Weighs In

Paltrow, who is married to producer Brad Falchuk, shared that her chemistry with Chalamet felt effortless. She even dubbed him “a thinking man’s sex symbol.”

“He’s just a very polite, properly raised—I was going to say kid—but he’s a man who takes his work really seriously,” she said.

When asked if their intimate scenes required vulnerability, she didn’t hold back. “Beyond,” she confirmed, teasing that the love scenes could set a new standard for onscreen passion.

Ditching the Intimacy Coordinator

Modern Hollywood productions often use intimacy coordinators to ensure actors feel comfortable during sex scenes. However, Paltrow revealed that she and Chalamet opted to take a different approach.

“There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,” she said. “Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.”

While acknowledging the role’s importance, Paltrow and Chalamet ultimately decided they didn’t need much guidance. “We said, ‘I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back,’” she recalled.

Paltrow Returns to the Big Screen After Hiatus

After years away from Hollywood, Paltrow is making her return in Marty Supreme. The actress admitted she never considered taking on another film while raising her children.

“I didn’t even contemplate doing anything that would take me away from my kids,” she said, adding that she understood “how finite this period of childhood is.”

With both her children now in college, Paltrow finally has time to explore acting again. And with Marty Supreme promising intense performances and what could be the best cinema sex ever, fans are eagerly awaiting its release.
