Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow recently faced a hilariously awkward parental moment when her teenage son, Moses, reacted to watching her steamy scenes in the new film 'Marty Supreme'. The 53-year-old star, who shares Moses, 19, and daughter Apple, 21, with ex-husband Chris Martin, brought her son to the film's Los Angeles premiere earlier this month.
An Uncomfortable Premiere Night
During an appearance on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers', Paltrow was asked how her son handled the movie's explicit content. Her response was blunt: "Not great." She then demonstrated Moses's reaction by crouching over and covering her eyes, adding, "He was like this the entire time. He's not into that." The new sports drama features Paltrow starring opposite 29-year-old actor Timothee Chalamet, and it includes several intimate moments that clearly made her son squirm.
A Family History of Awkward Movie Moments
This isn't the first time Gwyneth has navigated family discomfort around her on-screen roles. She recalled a similar, yet differently resolved, situation with her grandfather. When she took him to see the premiere of 'Shakespeare In Love', which featured a topless scene, she tried to prepare him. "I was trying to, like, prep him for the whole thing," she told the host. Her grandfather's legendary response? "Ah, I seen it before. Two eggs, sunny side up." Paltrow admitted she tried to think of a similarly disarming line for her son but came up short.
The Reality of Filming Intimate Scenes
The incident follows Paltrow's recent candid comments about the mechanics of filming romantic scenes. Speaking on 'The Drew Barrymore Show', she described the process as "weird" and "very mechanical." "It's like you're making out with someone that you don't... You're not in a relationship with them. There's no romance," she explained. Drew Barrymore agreed, likening it to being intimate with a "colleague." Paltrow humorously summed it up: "It's like choreography but involving tongues."
Despite the awkwardness, Paltrow had nothing but praise for her co-star, Timothee Chalamet. She insisted he is "such a wonderful young man" and emphasized her positive experience working with him. "Really, he's very polite, very talented, just so nice to be with. I'm really having a good time with him," she added, highlighting the professional respect amidst the personally uncomfortable filming requirements.
