Even Gwyneth Paltrow’s pals were shocked by the pictures of her getting hot and heavy with Timothée Chalamet.
Jimmy Fallon brought up the viral photos during Paltrow’s appearance on “The Tonight Show” Thursday, asking what her family and friends thought of the headline-making moment.
“Yeah, that was bad,” the 52-year-old joked as Fallon displayed a picture of the pair kissing on set of their new movie, “Marty Supreme.”
In the photos, Chalamet, 28, pushed Paltrow up against a brick alleyway as they locked lips.
“It’s just like, you’re trying to have this scene and you know it’s a private moment, and then there are paparazzi,” Paltrow explained. “It was like, all my mom group texts were like, ‘Oh my God!’”
“They were on fire,” she added. “It was pretty funny.”
The Josh Safdie-directed film was shot in New York City from September to October, marking the Oscar winner’s first time on a movie set in over five years.
The Goop founder told Fallon that her 20-year-old daughter, Apple, and her brother, Jake, convinced her to return to the big screen.
“My brother, who’s a filmmaker, was like ‘This is a great director and you should meet with him,’ and I did, and he was so nice,” she explained. “And when Apple found out Timothée Chalamet was in it, that sealed the deal.”
However, Paltrow didn’t reveal her daughter’s reaction to the steamy makeout.
Along with Apple, Paltrow shares 18-year-old son Moses with ex-husband Chris Martin. She is also stepmom to husband Brad Falchuk’s children Isabella and Brody.
This isn’t the first time the “Iron Man” actress has been asked about the pictures. During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” earlier this month, Paltrow explained how “weird” it can be to shoot intimate scenes with male co-stars.
“It’s like you are making out with someone and you’re not in a relationship with them,” she said. “There’s no romance… it’s very mechanical.”
However, she had nothing but great things to say about Chamalet.
“He is such a wonderful young man,” she gushed. “Really, he’s very polite, very talented, just so nice to be with. I’m really having a good time with him.”
