Gwyneth Paltrow's Teen Son Mortified After Watching Her Intimate Scenes in New Film
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that her 19-year-old son, Moses Martin, was left "mortified" after watching her intimate scenes with Timothée Chalamet in her latest film, "Marty Supreme".
Paltrow, 53, joked about the experience during a Q&A event for the movie, saying she could imagine how her son would have felt when he came to the premiere in LA and wanted to "die". Moses is Paltrow's youngest child with ex-husband Chris Martin, who also shares daughter Apple with Gwyneth.
The film, set in 1950s New York, sees Chalamet playing a shoe salesman consumed by his quest to become the greatest table-tennis player. Paltrow's role places her opposite Chalamet in scenes that are likely to be uncomfortable for a teenager, especially one who is close to his mother.
Paltrow has previously revisited a memorable moment from her past when she and Chris Martin's high-profile divorce was met with harsh media attention, leading to real career consequences. She joked about the experience on a podcast, saying she got "fired" from a movie project due to the backlash.
However, Paltrow acknowledged that watching a parent in a sex scene hits differently, especially for a teenager who is trying to navigate their own relationships and identity.
"I think the implicit learning is like, 'Oh f---, they're saying I did something wrong,' which, of course, that wasn't the intention," she explained. "Say you had a really nasty divorce or your parents had a nasty divorce, and then you hear this idea that it doesn't have to be done this way."
The actress first brought attention to the term "conscious uncoupling" when she and Martin announced their divorce in 2014.
As a parent, Paltrow's experience highlights the challenges of navigating complex relationships and desires with one's child. While she has spoken candidly about her past and parenting experiences, it is clear that watching intimate scenes on screen can be a difficult pill for some to swallow.
