Robert Downey Jr. says that Gwyneth Paltrow once asked him who Tom Holland was, despite starring alongside him several times: “I responded, ‘That’s Spider-Man. He said his name was Peter. His character's name is Peter. He's Tom Holland.’”

"Oh, we're using our made up names"
It's either medical memory or she's clinically stupid.
I’ve done hundreds of shoots with some athletes that a not-insignificant number of fans idolize.
I *barely* remember doing a decent number of these shoots. If you’re working in the industry and not part of the particular fandom, it’s just a job. I straight up forgot I’ve met some of these athletes. And these are people that sometimes have fans waiting hours to like, get an autograph from and spend hundreds to thousands of dollars to go watch play a game.
But I’m not a consumer of sports media - so I don’t give a shit. I’m doing a job and I’m good at it.
Do I seem like I’m too important for it?
I’m not a fan of Paltrow - but to her, it’s a job. She’s not a fan.
She gets sent her pages (not the full script, just whatever is relevant to her performance); they fly her out to the shooting location, someone stands in while they light and block. She shows up on site, does her scene, and they get her outta there. I’d be shocked if she was actually on site for more than two hours when she did the Homecoming cameo.
She makes candles that smell like her pussy. Supposedly.
Either the candle, or....
😱... But also: thank you 🙏🏻 sorta.. kinda... I think 😧😫
Are you talking about candles that smell like her vagina?
In a sentence, "let's go to that building over there for some goop." or "let's extract I'm all gooped up".
(Playing Arc Raiders random squads can be an experience.)
With animated films you might not even meet your costars.
She was acting and did her thing. I'm sure that her accountant knew which movie the scene was in, and that she was properly paid 🍿
The press release isn’t even about Spiderman (I mean, it was *supposed* to be), and she apparently filmed it along with content for one of the Iron Man films.
Granted I would not be at all surprised if she has had multiple moments over the years of not realizing which specific MCU movie she did a small scene in
She had thought her scene at the end of Homecoming, where they were going to announce Spider-Man becoming an Avenger, was a part of an Avengers movie, so she was surprised to hear she had been in a Spider-Man movie.
2) at most, Tom is a coworker that's just there. They don't talk. They don't hang out. If they ever meet they're surrounded by a bunch of other coworkers so they don't even have oportunity to talk. They shared maybe 1 scene and that's it.
Everytime she opens her mouth she reminds me of my boomer mom who has no clue what is going on around her.
damn i'm old.
She’s a weirdo in real life and doesn’t care about the MCU, but who gives a fuck? Does she have to be a fan? I don’t get the intensity of people’s feelings about her.
I can honestly see where Tom introduces himself to her and she legit has no idea of context to who he really is.
shes an odd person but i just don't care. what she does doesnt affect me in any way
Grumpy Old Man is just a character he plays in real life because everyone loves it, including him I'm pretty sure. Seems fun as hell.
Daniel Radcliffe is my favourite example of this - dude cashed out on Potter, then just started making awesome quirky stuff like Swiss Army Man, Miracle Workers, and all his Broadway work.
With Robert Pattinson coming in as a close second.
Maybe she just forgot how not to be a complete douche.
Naw - she just doesn’t care.
I at least have not tried to push pseudo science bs, so, I'm a mixed bag
*Gweneth Paltrow: No Way Home*
Agent probably called her and was like "hey you got a Disney movie scene at 9am on the 24th" "ok cool"

I don’t think she even shares a scene with Tom Holland…..so it’s fair that she wouldn’t exactly remember who he is when she also doesn’t engage with the MCU outside of the paycheck she collects.
RDJ is obviously going to know who he is but he also had infinitely more time with him and did press with him.
Let’s hate on her for her sham Goop bullshit, but wanting her to be recast just because she’s not invested in the universe she plays one character for is dumb. She was great in that role and really embodied it and her chemistry with RDJ is great. She doesn’t need to love the MCU to do her job. It’s a job.
And she also doesn’t even need to be truly connected to the Hollywood scene.
But seriously, love her or hate her, who cares, because she said already she has memory problem after having a kid in 2004.
He is presenting her an award, praising her, and playfully joking about her. He is not putting her down. It's okay if she doesn't remember all the lore. She barely had any scenes with Tom.
Why are people so up in arms about this?
