Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothee ChalametGwyneth Paltrow is enjoying her time working with Timothée Chalamet.
During Paltrow's appearance on the Friday, Nov. 1 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Paltrow, 52, called Chalamet, 28, "such a wonderful young man" as she discussed returning to movies to act in the film Marty Supreme.
"Really, he's very polite, very talented, just so nice to be with," Paltrow said. She and Chalamet were seen filming scenes together in New York City's Central Park — including one shot in which they shared a kiss — on Oct. 16. "I'm really having a good time with him."
Marty Supreme will make for Paltrow's first big screen role since she appeared in 2019's Avengers: Endgame. Back in 2017, the Academy Award winner said that she was stepping away from acting to focus on her lifestyle and wellness brand Goop, which she founded in 2008. She has not entirely strayed from Hollywood, though: Paltrow lent her voice in cameo appearances in a 2023 American Horror Stories episode and the 2022 film She Said, in which she voiced herself; she also starred in the Netflix series The Politician from 2019 to 2020.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet on Oct. 16, 2024News broke that Paltrow was cast alongside Chalamet in the upcoming movie back in August. When host Drew Barrymore asked Paltrow on Nov. 1 why she decided to take a new movie role on, she cited life as an "empty nester" after her and husband Brad Falchuk's kids all went to college.
"Honestly I think it's a few things; my son and stepson both went to college for the first time, they're both freshmen, and my daughter and stepdaughter have gone already a couple of years ago," Paltrow said. She and ex-husband Chris Martin share daughter Apple, 20, and Moses, 18; Falchuk shares children Isabella and Brody with his first wife Suzanne Bukinik, whom he divorced from in 2013.

"So the nest is empty and I feel like there's this really grief-filled part of it and then there's this part of it that's like maybe I can explore, I don't know, my own creativity again, or something like that," Paltrow said of returning to acting. "To be honest I was a bit nervous," she added, after she and Barrymore's cohost Ross Mathews joked that she consulted her Oscar statuette for advice.
