US EditionGwyneth Paltrow Was FIRED From a Film After Divorce From Coldplay Frontman Chris Martin: 'There Was a Lot of Harsh Stuff'
Gwyneth Paltrow said a film distributor dropped her project due to negative media over her 2014 divorce, calling it 'too hot to touch,' she said on Amy Poehler’s podcast.
- On Tuesday, Gwyneth Paltrow told Amy Poehler on the Good Hang podcast that she was due to shoot a movie right after her `conscious uncoupling` but got fired amid harsh press backlash.
- Industry figures said the backlash created reputational `heat`, and Paltrow said an unnamed distributor warned the project might be `too hot to touch`, causing them to back away.
- They married in 2003 and later separated, finalizing their divorce in 2016 after nearly 11 years, and have co-parented Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, while staying on good terms.
- Having stepped away in 2019, Paltrow later returned as Kay Stone in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme opposite Timothée Chalamet, and at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment gala earlier this month she said the industry welcomed her back.
- Framing the split as `conscious uncoupling`, Paltrow and Martin called it that in a 2014 Goop blog post and she described their bond as `a true family` in a 2022 British Vogue essay.
