Gwyneth Paltrow Says She Mistook Timothée Chalamet’s Marty Supreme Makeup for Acne, Suggested Microneedling

The candid podcast moment underscores the film’s convincing transformations ahead of its Dec. 25 theatrical release.

Overview

  • Paltrow recounted on The Run-Through with Vogue that she offered Chalamet microneedling advice before learning his pockmarks were prosthetic, praising his “beautiful” real-life skin.
  • She described Chalamet’s look as including pockmarks, beady eyes via contacts, and glasses, crediting the makeup team for work so realistic it fooled her on set.
  • Paltrow also said her daughter thought viral photos of her kissing Chalamet during filming were “awesome,” while her son was “mortified,” reflecting their mixed reactions.
  • In a separate interview, Paltrow said director Josh Safdie sought a performer with a “landed gentry quality,” and she acknowledged her “very privileged” upbringing as part of that perception.
  • Marty Supreme, directed by Safdie and distributed by A24, is a 1950s-set drama starring Chalamet as a ping-pong phenom and Paltrow as Kay Stone, opening in theaters on Dec. 25.
