Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to tough roles, but even she got a little flustered by a game of ‘Marry, F***, Kill’ when faced with a particularly swoon-worthy trio.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Goop Podcast, the Oscar winner, 52, was challenged to choose between three of her most iconic (and attractive) costars: Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., and Timothée Chalamet.
‘This is impossible,’ the mother of two, who is the subject of a juicy new biography by Amy Odell, laughed. ‘This is like, there’s no way I can answer this.’
But after some playful hesitation, Paltrow leaned into the challenge.
She ultimately chose to ‘marry’ her longtime Marvel costar, Robert Downey Jr., with whom she’s shared the screen in several Iron Man and Avengers films.
‘I would marry Robert because we would just laugh so much and have such a fun, weird life and travel,’ she explained. ‘And, anyway, I’m already, basically, I am married to him in movies, so what’s the difference?’

The decision between the other two wasn’t quite so easy.
‘Who am I gonna f**k you guys — Jude or Timothée Chalamet?’ she mused aloud, clearly torn.

In the end, she opted for Law — her costar in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), and Contagion (2011) — noting that a tryst with Chalamet, 29, would feel a bit uncomfortable due to their age gap.
‘I think my children would kill me if I did that,’ the Goop founder joked. ‘It’s like robbing the cradle.’
Before giving her final answer, the star playfully managed to dodge making any eliminations in the podcast game.
‘I’m not gonna say. Both. I’m gonna marry all three,’ she declared. ‘I’m gonna marry and f**k all three. How’s that? I’m a modern woman. I’m not killing anyone,’ she declared.
Last fall, Paltrow and Chalamet recently sparked buzz while filming Marty Supreme, a project that raised eyebrows for its steamy scenes.
‘I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie. There’s a lot — a lot,’ she told Vanity Fair in March.

In the end, she opted to sleep with Law — her costar in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004), and Contagion (2011); seen in 2004
The mother-of-two explained she felt a tryst with Chalamet, 29, would feel too much like ‘robbing the cradle’ (seen last year kissing Chalamet on set of their film Marty Supreme)
Despite their onscreen chemistry, Paltrow referred to Chalamet with a mix of admiration and maternal warmth as she described him as a ‘a thinking man’s sex symbol.’
‘He’s just a very polite, properly raised — I was going to say kid. He’s a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner,’ she told the outlet.
Meanwhile, in real life, Paltrow is happily married to producer Brad Falchuk, whom she wed in 2018.
When asked what she loves most about her husband, she gave a very heartfelt answer.
‘I think just how unconditionally loving he is,’ she said. ‘He is like, there’s this, like, wellspring of love from him all the time. I never feel like he’s over me or, like, annoyed.’
Prior to meeting Falchuk, Paltrow dated her former costars Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck and was married to Chris Martin, whom she shares kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.
