Gwyneth Paltrow Admits To Never Watching 'Spiderman: Homecoming'

It is one thing to actually forget being a part of a film but it is another thing to not even watch it after knowing. That's the case with none other than actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who is recently seen in Netflix's The Politician.

According to Variety, Paltrow, who portrays Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, explained a gaffe that went viral, in which she forgot she had a scene in Tom Holland’s first Spider-Man standalone film. In June, a clip from Jon Favreau’s “The Chef Show” made rounds on the world wide web when Paltrow vehemently denied that she acted alongside Favreau in “Spider-Man: Homecoming.” Favreau, who plays Iron Man’s confidant Happy Hogan, has a brief scene with Paltrow and Holland at the end of the film.

“I just got confused,” Paltrow told Jimmy Kimmel Wednesday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” “There’s so many of these wonderful Marvel interconnecting movies, and I thought that it was an Avengers movie but it was not.”

The confusion, she accidentally confessed, was due to the fact that she hadn’t watched the film. “I never actually saw the movie,” she shared. “I mean, wait, cut that out! Take that back!”

For his part, Kimmel told Paltrow he didn’t expect the Oscar-winning actress to keep up with comic-book blockbusters.

“You’re Gwyneth Paltrow, you shouldn’t be watching ‘Spider-Man,” he said, laughing. “It would upset people if you had.”
