"A Lot of Sex" Is an Understatement? Gwyneth Dishes on Steamy Scenes with Timothée Chalamet in 'Marty Supreme'
So Gwyneth did a cover story with Vanity Fair and she did not hold back. When talking about "Marty Supreme" she straight up said "I mean we have a lot of sex in this movie. There’s a lot—a lot." Woah okay Gwyneth tell us more!
Apparently things get pretty intense. When the interviewer asked if she and Timothée are in "a lot of vulnerable positions" her response was simply "Beyond." Color us intrigued! This movie is definitely not shying away from the intimate stuff.
In the movie Timothée Chalamet plays Marty Mauser a ping pong whiz and Gwyneth plays his love interest who is married to someone else in the "Ping-Pong mafia" world. Gwyneth describes her character as someone who's had a tough life and Marty kind of brings her back to life. But she also hinted it is a "transactional" relationship for both of them. Sounds complicated and hot.
Intimacy Coordinators? Gwyneth Says "Step Back Girl" – Her Take on Filming Sex Scenes Then and Now
Here’s where it gets even more interesting. "Marty Supreme" was Gwyneth's first time working with an intimacy coordinator. For those who don't know these are people who are on set to help actors feel comfortable and safe during intimate scenes. But Gwyneth’s reaction to it was pretty classic Gwyneth.
She said when the intimacy coordinator asked if she was okay with a certain move she was like "Girl I’m from the era where you get naked you get in bed the camera’s on." Basically she is saying she is used to the old school Hollywood way of doing things. She even told the coordinator and Timothée "We said 'I think we’re good. You can step a little bit back.'"
She admitted that intimacy coordinators might be helpful for actors who are just starting out but for her personally she felt like it would be "stifling" as an artist to have someone so involved in dictating those moments. It is definitely a different perspective on how things are changing in Hollywood when it comes to filming intimate scenes.
Timothée Chalamet: Not Just a Heartthrob But a "Thinking Man's Sex Symbol" According to Gwyneth
Gwyneth had nothing but praise for her co-star Timothée Chalamet. She called him a "thinking man’s sex symbol" which is quite a compliment. She described him as "just a very polite properly raised I was going to say kid." But then corrected herself and said he is a "man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner."
It sounds like they had a good working relationship despite the age gap and intense scenes. She even joked about the age difference saying "I was like ‘OK great. I’m 109 years old. You’re 14.’" Humor is definitely key when you are filming those kinds of scenes right?
Gwyneth's Back in Action (Sort Of): Why "Marty Supreme" Marks a Real Return to Acting for Her

She mentioned it is "different when you’re reprising an ‘Avengers’ thing" implying that this new role is more demanding and vulnerable.
She even admitted to some self-doubt about whether she could still pull off a vulnerable role after being away from serious acting for a while.

Cameron told her to "think about the richness and the deepening of your life" and see that as "material" for her acting.
