Gwyneth Paltrow reflects on what made her do it Marty Supreme.
Gwyneth, who shares both children, Moses, 19, and Apple, 21, with ex-husband Chris Martin, noted that she took on the role in Marty Supreme after her children left for college.
In a Q&A with Demi Moore Marty Supremesaid the Oscar winner, “I really took a step back in a meaningful way. …I did such an insane amount of movies before I had my kids.”
“Some years I was doing four films a year, five films a year. I think I didn’t give myself permission to take my time and be strategic,” she continued.
“I was just on this train going and going and when I had my daughter I really wanted to quit. I quit completely for three years and since then I’ve dipped my toe sometimes. But I didn’t want to be in a remote location. I was a single mother,” recalls the Shakespeare in love star.
She went on to talk about how her children went to college and then left her time, which led to her accepting the role in Marty Supreme.
“And then my kids went off to college, and I had a big vacancy in my purpose and orientation,” she explained. “And then this guy, Josh Safdie, called me and I was so embarrassingly out of the closet [loop]. I’d never seen Timothée Chalamet in a movie before, that’s… I swear. Now I have.”
She could also relate to actress Kay Stone, who decides to return to the stage after a break.
‘She made the choice to go back. Anyway, of course there was the meta thing about her quitting, which I did,” Gwyneth said.
Marty Supreme was released to critical acclaim, with Gwyneth Paltrow’s costar Timothee Chalamet sweeping the awards and is poised to take home the Oscar for Best Actor this year.
