Gwyneth Paltrow has her daughter to thank for her big movie comeback.
The “Iron Man” actress reportedly ended her five-year hiatus from acting all because Apple Martin, 20, “has had a crush” on Timothée Chalamet “for years.”
The 28-year-old actor, who is currently dating Kylie Jenner, will appear alongside her mom in the upcoming A24 movie “Marty Supreme.”

An insider told the Daily Mail on Tuesday, “As soon as Gwyneth told Apple that Timothée is not only a producer but also the lead actor, she pleaded with her mom to accept.
“After reading it and loving it, despite having no major wish to act right now, she was convinced by Apple, who intends to be on set as much as possible.”
The actress, 51, was last on the big screen as Pepper Potts in “Avengers: End Game,” which came out in 2019. However, she has appeared in a series of shorts since then, as well as Netflix’s “The Politician” which was produced by her husband, Brad Falchuk, “She Said” in 2022 and an episode of “American Horror Stories” last year.
“Gwyneth signed on to co-star with Timothée in ‘Marty Supreme’ thanks to her daughter, who has had a crush on the ‘Dune’ star for years,” an insider said. “Despite having no major wish to act right now” the source added she was convinced by Apple, who “intends to be on set as much as possible.” Instagram/@gwynethpaltrow
Despite Chalamet inspiring her to return to the big screen, she previously told “Entertainment Tonight” that only one of her “Iron Man” co-stars could bring her back.
“Well, it would be very hard for me to do any acting right at the moment, just because of my job,” Paltrow said. “But, I guess Robert Downey Jr. could probably always get me back.”
Paltrow took a step back from acting in recent years to focus on running her Goop empire. “Goop is my full-time passion, and being the founder and CEO of Goop is what I do all day every day,” said Paltrow in 2019.
“I’ve never said that I am quitting acting,” she said in a “Today” show interview with Savannah Guthrie.
“What I say is Goop is my full-time passion, and being the founder and CEO of Goop is what I do all day every day, and occasionally when something is the right thing and it works out around my children and my Goop life, I’m able to participate.”
“I think I’m just not focused on full-time acting right now,” she added.
