Zack Sharf Digital News Director Gwyneth Paltrow spoke to Vanity Fair as part of a new cover story and pulled back the curtain a bit on her big return to acting later this year in Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme.” The A24 film stars Timothée Chalamet as a ping pong protégé competing overseas.

Paltrow revealed for the first time she is starring as the wife of a rival professional who falls into bed with Chalamet’s star. “This woman who is married to someone who is in the Ping-Pong mafia, as it were,” Paltrow explained. “They meet and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.” “Marty Supreme” went viral during production after set paparazzi took photos of Chalamet and Paltrow making out while filming a scene.

According to Paltrow, the two co-stars will be getting even more hot and heavy in the movie. “I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie,” Paltrow teased. “There’s a lot—a lot.” Filming sex scenes with Chalamet introduced Paltrow to an intimacy coordinator for the first time, although she didn’t appear to need one after decades in Hollywood. “There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,” Paltrow said, noting that when “Marty Supreme’s” intimacy coordinator asked her if she’d be comfortable with a particular move during the filming of an intimate scene “I was like, ‘Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.’ ” “We said, ‘I think we’re good.

You can step a little bit back,’ ” Paltrow added of not relying on an intimacy coordinator with Chalamet. “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,’.
