While working together on the set of the upcoming film “Marty Supreme,” Gwyneth Paltrow, known for her outspoken attitudes on wellness, noticed something unusual about her co-star Timothée Chalamet‘s appearance. Mistaking expertly applied makeup for a skin concern, Paltrow recommended a remedy from her world of beauty tips, highlighting her inclination to share Gwyneth Paltrow skincare advice even during work.
Paltrow recounted on a recent episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast how, observing Chalamet in character, she initially thought he needed skincare solutions. She shared,
“In Marty Supreme, Timothée has pockmarks, and they made his eyes beady with contacts and glasses,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate. She went on to say,
“In real life, he has beautiful skin. He made a comment, and I was like, ‘Oh, you can do micro-needling for that.’ He’s like, ‘This is makeup.’ I was like, ‘Oh, s—,’”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate.
Chalamet’s Transformation Surprises Paltrow
Paltrow was so convinced by the makeup that she commented,
“The makeup was so good that I thought he had little acne scars,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate. She even mused about how such transformations might inspire new creative paths, saying,
“Anyway, I think it would be interesting to one day do something like that,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate.
The film, directed by Josh Safdie, casts Paltrow as Kay Stone, a high-society figure and retired screen star. Her character develops an unusual connection with Chalamet’s role—a gifted yet underestimated ping-pong player. Paltrow reflected on his physical transformation for the film and explored her interest in more mature roles, telling listeners,
“I think it would be really interesting to do something around a story of an older woman. I’m really interested in how women age and how they regard themselves as they age. I look forward to playing older parts for sure,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate.
Candid Moments and Cast Insights
Paltrow also recounted how her first collaboration with Chalamet impressed her, not just professionally but personally. She admired his courage, saying he was willing to date someone who has children:
“[going] out with a young woman who has two kids,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate. She continued,
“I respect it. I think it’s kind of punk rock,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate.
Her confusion about Chalamet’s partner’s identity led to a candid moment when she remarked,
“My point is I didn’t know [it was] Kylie Jenner,”
Gwyneth Paltrow, actress and wellness advocate.
Director Josh Safdie, making his first solo film after a pause in his collaboration with Benny Safdie, leads the project. “Marty Supreme” is described as the journey of
“a young man with a dream no one respects”
who
“goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness,”
official film description.
The ensemble cast features Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary from “Shark Tank,” Tyler Okonma (also known as Tyler, The Creator), filmmaker Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher, creating high anticipation for the film’s release.
Impact and Anticipation for “Marty Supreme”
Paltrow’s genuine concern and humor spotlight her approachability and continue to cement her reputation as a wellness advocate beyond the screen. Her remarks about Chalamet’s on-set transformation reveal the often-blurred lines between character and actor, especially in heavily stylized productions. With notable figures like Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and director Josh Safdie shaping the project, “Marty Supreme” aims to make a significant impression during awards season, and viewers are eager to see the dynamic between Paltrow and Chalamet unfold on screen.
