Gwyneth Paltrow Says Publicity Over Chris Martin Split Cost Her a Film Role

She told Amy Poehler’s podcast that a distributor walked away after judging the tabloid attention too risky.

Overview

  • Paltrow made the claim on Good Hang with Amy Poehler, describing being dropped from a planned film during her separation.
  • She recounted that the distributor considered the press coverage "too hot to handle" and that she was effectively fired.
  • Coverage notes the couple’s use of the phrase "conscious uncoupling," which drew wide media and online reaction at the time.
  • German outlets Promiflash, Stern, and Der Tagesspiegel republished the remarks, with some citing 2014 for the announcement and others noting the 2016 divorce.
  • The account is based on Paltrow’s own recollection with no independent confirmation reported, and prior interviews detailed her earlier realization the marriage would not be saved.
