Paltrow: Intimacy Coordinators Are for a New Generation

Gwyneth Paltrow recently clarified her views on intimacy coordinators, explaining that her initial remarks stemmed from unfamiliarity with the role rather than disapproval. She candidly admitted that the #MeToo movement's resulting safety measures were surprising to her, as her early career involved a more laissez-faire on-set environment.

Recalling her experience working on her first film in years, Paltrow noted that discussing intimate scenes felt more awkward than performing them. This perspective is particularly poignant given her past professional relationship with Harvey Weinstein, whom she alleges sexually harassed her decades prior.

However, Paltrow now firmly advocates for the importance of these roles for the next generation of actors. She stated that if she were starting her career today or if her daughter were to enter the industry, she would be grateful for the established protocols ensuring consent and providing necessary guardrails.
