Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she was ‘worried’ about her sex scenes with Timothée Chalamet due to their large age gap.
The actress, 53, was convinced her Marty Supreme co-star would find getting intimate on camera with her ‘really weird’ because of their 23-year age gap and her own reservations, but said that ultimately it was all ‘fine’.
Speaking at a Q+A for the movie in Santa Monica, she said: ‘He was 27 or 28, and I was 50-whatever, and, I mean, it’s weird.
‘And I [thought], “Oh, if it’s weird for me, then it’s going to probably really weird for [him],” but actually, it was fine. It wasn’t that weird.
‘It was a lot of sex scenes… and I was sort of worried about it too, just having not done all that kind of thing in so long, but it was very comfortable, and it was fine.’
Gwyneth added that she found the A Complete Unknown actor ‘so easy’ to work with on Marty Supreme.

As reported by People magazine, she gushed: ‘He’s so easy to work with. He’s so brilliant and committed and comfortable and confident.’
It comes after Gwyneth – who has Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, with ex-husband Chris Martin – told how her son covered his eyes during his mother’s sex scenes in the film.
During an appearance on NBC’s Late Night With Seth Meyers, she was asked how the teen handled the film’s sex scenes and replied: ‘Not great.’
Gwyneth went on to crouch over and put her hands over her eyes, adding: ‘[Moses] was like this the entire time. He’s not into that.’
But despite Moses’s embarrassment, his sister Apple thought their mum was ‘bad-a**’ for kissing Timothée, 30, during an intimate scene shot in New York’s Central Park for the film.
She told Extra: ‘My daughter thought it was very bad-a** and my son was like, “Oh, my God, Mom.” He was like, “This is too much.”‘
The Iron Man star previously stressed movie sex scenes are ‘very mechanical’.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, she explained: ‘It’s like you’re making out with someone that you don’t [know]… You’re not in a relationship with them. There’s no romance. It’s like very mechanical.’

Since its release last month, Timothée has been tipped as an awards frontrunner for his leading role in the film
Actress Drew agreed, explaining it was like getting intimate with a ‘colleague’.
Gwyneth quipped: ‘It’s like a choreography but involving tongues.’
Since its release last month, Timothee has been tipped as an awards frontrunner for his leading role in the film.
Last week he continued his run of success by winning a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy.
The actor shared a series of pictures from the awards show on Instagram showing him kissing his gold statuette and celebrating with his director Josh Safdie.
He captioned the post: ‘THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! SO TREMENDOUSLY GRATEFUL!!!!!!’
After picking up his prize on stage, Chalamet tipped his proverbial hat to nominees George Clooney, Ethan Hawke, Lee Byung-hun, Jesse Plemons and Leonardo DiCaprio, saying: ‘This category is stacked. I look up to all of you.’
The Dune star attended the ceremony with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner and he gave her a mention in his acceptance speech along with his parents.
He told the audience: ‘My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up. Always be grateful for what you have. It’s allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty-handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here.
‘I’d be lying if I didn’t say those moments didn’t make this moment that much sweeter. For my parents, for my partner, I love you. Thank you so much.’
