Gwyneth Paltrow revealed that her son Moses had a very uncomfortable reaction to her latest on-screen romance.
While taking part in a Q&A for her new film Marty Supreme at San Vicente Bungalows in Santa Monica, California, on Friday, Jan. 9, the 53-year-old actress admitted her 19-year-old wasn’t exactly thrilled about watching her intimate scenes opposite Timothée Chalamet.
"Oh my God! My poor son," Paltrow told Demi Moore, who joined her for the screening and discussion. Moses is one of two children she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin, along with daughter Apple, 21.
"Can you imagine when he came to the premiere in L.A.? He wanted to die," she added.
Marty Supreme stars Chalamet, 30, as Marty Mauser, a shoe salesman determined to become the world’s greatest table tennis player in 1950s New York. Directed by Josh Safdie, the film also features Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher alongside Paltrow and Chalamet.
Back in October 2024, the two actors sparked headlines after being photographed filming makeout scenes in Central Park.
“I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie,” Paltrow later told Vanity Fair for its April cover story. “There’s a lot — a lot.”
In another Vanity Fair interview published in December, Paltrow spoke more broadly about filming intimate scenes, including why she once declined to shoot one with her Great Expectations costar Ethan Hawke.
Recounting the 1998 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel with Hawke, now 55, she said director Alfonso Cuarón had suggested a sex scene, but she turned it down.
"I was like, 'Oh, my God, my father’s going to have a heart attack,' " Paltrow said of her late father, Bruce Paltrow. She also noted she was "really self-conscious about my dad and grandfather seeing this kind of stuff."
