Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up about a challenging experience from her past, revealing that she was dropped from a movie role following her highly publicized divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The incident occurred around 2014, shortly after the couple's 'conscious uncoupling' announcement. In an interview with Amy Poehler on her "Good Hang" podcast, Paltrow shared her account of being let go from the project due to concerns from the distributor that the media attention surrounding her divorce would be detrimental to the film's box office performance. Paltrow, who has been gaining praise for her role in the sports drama "Marty Supreme," reflected on the negative press she received after publishing a lengthy blog post announcing her divorce from Martin. The phrase 'conscious uncoupling' became a viral sensation, with many interpreting it as an attempt to shift blame for the couple's split. In "Marty Supreme," Paltrow stars alongside Timothee Chalamet, who plays the lead role of Marty Reisman, a talented but abrasive ping-pong player who rises to fame from the underground hustling scene. The film is loosely inspired by the life of the legendary American table-tennis hustler Marty Reisman. Paltrow's candid conversation with Poehler provides a glimpse into the challenges she faced as a result of her highly publicized divorce and the media scrutiny that followed.
