During filming for the upcoming movie “Marty Supreme,” Gwyneth Paltrow shared her renowned Gwyneth Paltrow skincare advice with co-star Timothée Chalamet, only to find out her suggestion was misplaced. On the set, Paltrow noticed what she thought were acne scars on Chalamet’s face, prompting her to recommend a cosmetic treatment, before realizing the marks were masterfully applied makeup for his role.
How a Makeup Mix-Up Led to an Unexpected Moment
Paltrow, long acknowledged for her interest in wellness, attempted to offer help to Chalamet, believing he might benefit from her experience. The confusion stemmed from the transformation Chalamet underwent for his character, which involved pockmarks and altered eyes using contacts and glasses. The incident occurred during a conversation recounted on a podcast appearance, where Paltrow described her reaction:
“In Marty Supreme, Timothée has pockmarks, and they made his eyes beady with contacts and glasses,”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress.
She continued to explain how her advice went amiss, stating,
“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—,’”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress.
Paltrow was genuinely fooled by the on-set artistry, adding,
“The makeup was so good that I thought he had little acne scars,”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress. She even mused about someday trying a role that involved such heavy transformation:
“Anyway, I think it would be interesting to one day do something like that.”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress.
About “Marty Supreme” and Gwyneth’s Perspective
“Marty Supreme,” directed by Josh Safdie, sees Paltrow taking on the role of Kay Stone, a socialite and former movie star facing the challenges of changing years. Timothée Chalamet plays a young ping-pong prodigy, and the movie explores their unlikely bond. The project marks Safdie’s first solo feature since a break from collaborating with his brother Benny Safdie.
Reflecting on her career and future aspirations, Paltrow commented that Chalamet’s impressive physical makeover inspired thoughts about roles that explore the lives of older women. She shared,
“I think it would be really interesting to do something around a story of an older woman. I’m really interested in how women age and how they regard themselves as they age. I look forward to playing older parts for sure.”

Paltrow on Chalamet’s Personal Life and Co-Stars
Paltrow has expressed admiration for Chalamet, noting her respect for him during their collaboration, especially regarding his relationship choices.
“I respect it. I think it’s kind of punk rock.”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress, regarding Chalamet’s relationship. She also amused herself over a case of mistaken identity, joking about learning Chalamet’s partner is Kylie Jenner:
“My point is I didn’t know [it was] Kylie Jenner,”
– Gwyneth Paltrow, Actress.
“Marty Supreme” not only stars Paltrow and Chalamet but also features Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank fame, Tyler Okonma (known as Tyler, The Creator), filmmaker Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. Director Josh Safdie describes the movie as the story of
“a young man with a dream no one respects”
who
“goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness,”
highlighting the film’s emotionally intense theme.
Anticipation Surrounding the New Film
The film’s ensemble and challenging subject matter have generated significant attention as Safdie, who is taking a creative hiatus from his brother Benny, brings new energy to the project. The mix of established and rising stars, dramatic physical transformations, and themes about ambition, age, and self-image make “Marty Supreme” one of the most anticipated films in development. Fans of Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and supporting actors like Odessa A’zion and Tyler Okonma will be watching closely as its release approaches, marking a new chapter for director Safdie and another evolution in Paltrow’s storied career.
