Gwyneth Paltrow Thinks Intimacy Coordinators Are Good, Actually
Gwyneth Paltrow’s new film, Marty Supreme, marks her return to acting after a long break. She found the increasing use of intimacy coordinators on set a bit awkward, comparing it to the confusion someone might feel using Microsoft Teams if they’re not tech-savvy. Paltrow admitted she felt more uncomfortable talking about potentially sensitive scenes than actually performing them, and wasn’t sure the process was entirely helpful. The interview also touched on her experiences working with Harvey Weinstein, even after he allegedly harassed her when she was young. While she acknowledges things were different in her early career, she believes intimacy coordinators are a positive development for actors today. She’s especially glad her daughter, if she chooses to pursue acting, will benefit from having clear boundaries and a focus on consent on set.
