Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow says she was once fired from a movie after her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin as the distributor thought she was “too hot to touch” at the time given the media coverage around their break up.

The Shakespeare in Love (1998) actor, who is garnering positive reviews for her role as a washed-up former star in Marty Supreme (2025), told Amy Poehler on her Good Hang podcast about the incident.
