Gwyneth Paltrow, set to appear with Timothee Chalamet in the upcoming comedy-drama Marty Supreme, recently revealed her children’s contrasting reactions to a widely discussed on-set kiss between her and Chalamet. As the photo made the rounds last fall, Gwyneth Paltrow kids reaction became a topic of public curiosity, especially as she later discussed it in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Daughter Apple Applauds, While Son Moses Cringes
According to Paltrow, her kids—Apple, 21, and Moses, 19—had notably different takes on seeing their mom in that now-viral kiss scene with Chalamet during filming. She told The Hollywood Reporter,
I mean, my daughter’s so cool and so punk rock that she’s like, ‘Mom, this is awesome!’
— Apple’s direct response, according to Paltrow, seemed to reflect support and even excitement at her mother’s role. In contrast, her son Moses appeared much less enthusiastic. As Paltrow recounted,
And my son was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to see this.’
— Moses’ reaction suggested embarrassment and discomfort.
The actress added that Moses was somewhat mortified by the public nature of the scene, while Apple maintained a more unfazed attitude. However, despite the initial shock, Paltrow shared that both of her children have grown more receptive to her work in recent years. She explained,
actually excited to see this film because now they’re grown up and they can make this separation.
— Paltrow indicated that their maturity helps them see her differently now, though she suspects some things haven’t changed:
they’ll gag when I’m having a make-out scene, of course.
She also mentioned,
But it’s funny, they haven’t really seen me in movies.
Family Views on Fame and Home Life
Paltrow further described how her children prefer her home as their mother, not as a public figure. She shared,
Historically, they like me home, as mom, and they don’t like to engage with the outside perspective of who I am,
highlighting how her role at home remains most important to them. The dynamic between home and her career as an actress, entrepreneur, and Goop founder continues to be a central theme for the family.
Marty Supreme Film Context and Future Prospects
Marty Supreme is directed and produced by Josh Safdie and is set for release on Christmas. Timothee Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a young athlete with dreams of table tennis glory, while Paltrow steps into the role of Kay Stone, a retired actress and socialite. The buzz surrounding the film, particularly the on-set chemistry between its leads, has only added to anticipation as the release date nears.
With her kids now adults, Paltrow’s reflections on their reactions offer a glimpse into how family life can intersect with public roles in unexpected ways. Audiences, including Apple and Moses, will soon have their chance to watch Marty Supreme and see how the film’s attention-grabbing moments translate to the big screen.
