‘This might be too hot to touch’: Gwyneth Paltrow says conscious uncoupling cost her a movie role

Actor thinks derisive response to her description of divorcing Chris Martin led to her being dropped from film

The actor Gwyneth Paltrow has said she was fired from a film due to media interest in her divorce from Chris Martin in 2014.

Speaking on Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang, Paltrow blamed negative headlines surrounding the separation – which the couple called “conscious uncoupling” in their announcement – for her losing a role she had been scheduled to play soon afterwards.
