Gwyneth Paltrow Returns to Acting in Josh Safdie's 'Marty Supreme'

She says an empty-nest jolt restored her sense of purpose after a project meeting convinced her the work would matter.

Overview

  • Paltrow confirms she has accepted a role in the sports comedy-drama Marty Supreme, marking her re-entry to film.
  • She recounts feeling lonely in her 20s and stepping back to focus on family and building Goop as she figured out who she was.
  • With her children heading to college, she describes a new 'panic around my purpose' that set the stage for a return.
  • After meeting filmmaker Josh Safdie, she said the project felt 'worthwhile' and reminiscent of 1990s films.
  • Coverage differs on the length of her hiatus, citing nearly seven years away versus more than 15 years since a major role, even as she admits she 'doesn't love acting that much' but felt genuine excitement on set.
