Gwyneth Paltrow is clearly enjoying her time on set with Timothée Chalamet as they film their upcoming movie, “Marty Supreme,” in the bustling heart of New York City.
Spotted filming together in Central Park on October 16, the duo has been drawing attention not just for their performances but also for their camaraderie.
During a recent appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Paltrow, who is 52, praised her much younger co-star, calling him a “wonderful young man.”
She emphasized his politeness and talent, saying, “Really, he’s very polite, very talented, just so nice to be with.”
It’s clear that their chemistry on screen is matched by their rapport off it.
The filming process has seen them share intimate moments, including a scene where they kiss, adding a layer of intrigue to their partnership.
Paltrow’s enthusiasm about working with Chalamet is palpable, as she remarked, “I’m really having a good time with him.”
News of Paltrow’s casting alongside Chalamet first emerged back in August, generating excitement among fans eager to see the two stars together.
When Barrymore asked her why she decided to return to acting, Paltrow opened up about a significant life change—her transition into being an empty nester.
With both her son and stepson starting their college journeys as freshmen, along with her daughter and stepdaughter already away at school, Paltrow reflected on the bittersweet nature of this new chapter.
“The nest is empty, and I feel like there’s this really grief-filled part of it,” she shared, hinting at the emotional complexities of this transition.
Yet, amid the grief, there’s a spark of creativity igniting within her.
Paltrow expressed her desire to explore her own artistic side again, stating, “Maybe I can explore, I don’t know, my own creativity again or something like that.” It’s a refreshing take on returning to her craft after focusing on family for so long.
Admitting her initial nerves about stepping back into acting, she humorously noted that she even consulted her Oscar statuette for wisdom.
This light-hearted moment showcased her relatable side, making her all the more endearing to the audience.
The film “Marty Supreme” is inspired by the life of professional ping-pong player Marty Reisman, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 82.
Directed by Josh Safdie, the script is a collaboration between Safdie and Ronald Bronstein, promising a unique blend of storytelling and character exploration.
