Movies Gwyneth Paltrow's 'mom group texts' were 'on fire' over Timothée Chalamet kissing photos "You're trying to have this scene, it's a private moment, and then there are paparazzi," the actress told Jimmy Fallon.

EW's editorial guidelines Published on November 22, 2024 12:06PM EST Comments Filming a love scene is complicated. Actors have to work to achieve a personal intimacy that will come across on screen, even though they're surrounded by dozens of other people from the cast and crew. And when one of the actors in the love scene is Timothée Chalamet, you also have to contend with paparazzi and fans of all generations eager for any glimpse of the young star. Timothée Chalamet recalls going to sleep 'panicked' about nailing Bob Dylan role in A Complete Unknown That's what Gwyneth Paltrow has been experiencing lately. The Oscar-winning actress and millionaire business mogul is making her long-awaited return to movies with Josh Safdie's upcoming Marty Supreme, where she stars alongside Chalamet in the story of a ping-pong player. When photos leaked of her and Chalamet kissing on set, Paltrow heard about it from everyone she knows. "You're trying to have this scene, it's a private moment, and then there are paparazzi," Paltrow told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show this week. "All my mom group texts were on fire, like 'Oh my God!'" Want more movie news?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet on the set of 'Marty Supreme' on Oct. 16, 2024 in New York City. Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Chalamet's popularity has reached such a height, especially after the recent blockbuster box office success of Wonka and Dune: Part Two, that other young men are desperate to seem like him. Mark Eydelshteyn, a Russian actor featured prominently in Sean Baker's new film Anora (which won the Palme d'Or at this summer's Cannes Film Festival and is set to be a top Oscar contender) was described as the "Russian Timothée Chalamet" by both Variety and New York Magazine this year. Cannes-winning Anora director on mashing genres: 'I love tonal jumps. I love roller coasters.' Even more noteworthy was the recent Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest held in New York City last month, which featured many curly-haired men competing for a $50 cash prize and bragging rights. The event got so raucous that the police even intervened, especially after Chalamet himself showed up for photos. Chalamet will next be seen on the big screen in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which opens on Christmas and, if the recent trend of awards attention for musician biopic performances like Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody and Austin Butler in Elvis is any indication, might represent his best chance at getting a second Oscar nomination.
