Gwyneth Paltrow Discusses Intimate Scenes and Return to Acting in 'Marty Supreme'

The A24 film, inspired by ping-pong champion Marty Reisman, features Paltrow alongside Timothée Chalamet and explores romance, intimacy, and complex relationships.

Gwyneth Paltrow returns to acting after a years-long hiatus, starring in the Josh Safdie-directed 'Marty Supreme,' set for release on December 25, 2025.
The film, inspired by the life of ping-pong champion Marty Reisman, features Timothée Chalamet as the titular character and Paltrow as his love interest in a transactional relationship.
Paltrow revealed that her character shares numerous intimate scenes with Chalamet, including sex scenes, which were filmed with minimal involvement from an intimacy coordinator.
The decision to limit the intimacy coordinator's role has reignited discussions about balancing artistic freedom and workplace safety in Hollywood post-#MeToo.
Produced by A24, the film boasts a star-studded cast, including Tyler, the Creator, Fran Drescher, and Sandra Bernhard, and positions itself as a potential awards season contender.
