Gwyneth Paltrow; Timothee Chalamet in 'Marty Supreme'
Gwyneth Paltrow really stepped in goop when she offered Timothée Chalamet skincare advice for a problem he doesn't have.
It all came about when, in the first few days of shooting their new film Marty Supreme together, the makeup used to create his character's acne scarring was so good that Paltrow thought it was real. Just to be nice, she suggested the skincare technique of micro-needling to help heal the supposed "scars."
Recalling the story to host Gerrad Hall on The Awardist podcast, Paltrow said, "Yeah, and, imagine I was up close to him, and I was like, my gosh, because when I had seen him [before], his skin was always so beautiful. And I was like, I didn't realize that he has this scarring on his face."

Laughing at her error, Paltrow then explained her costar's hilarious reaction to her not-so-needed advice. "And then he's like, 'Are you insane? Like, this is makeup,'" she said. "He's like, 'I have good skin.' I was like, 'I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.' Yeah, [the makeup was] amazing."
The wellness guru and Goop founder previously said on The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, "In Marty Supreme, Timothée has pockmarks, and they made his eyes beady with contacts and glasses. 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---.'"
"The makeup was so good that I thought he had little acne scars," Paltrow continued. "Anyway, I think it would be interesting to one day do something like that."
In the upcoming awards hopeful from director Josh Safdie, Paltrow plays Kay Stone, a wealthy socialite and fading movie star who forges an unlikely connection with the younger ping-pong phenom played by Chalamet.

Paltrow, 52, previously teased a rather juicy tidbit about her character, telling Vanity Fair she plays "this woman who is married to someone who is in the ping-pong mafia." She and 29-year-old Chalamet's Marty "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."
"We have a lot of sex in this movie," she added. "There’s a lot — a lot."
Per the logline, the film is officially described as the story of "a young man with a dream no one respects" who "goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness." In addition to Chalamet and Paltrow, the film also stars I Love LA breakout Odessa A'zion, Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary, Tyler "The Creator" Okonma, filmmaker Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher.
