Gwyneth reveals she's never seen 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'
Shocker! American actor Gwyneth Paltrow recently revealed that she has never seen Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', in which she also starred. Paltrow, who portrays Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), explained a gaffe that went viral, in which she forgot she had a scene in Tom Holland's first 'Spider-Man' standalone film, reported Us Weekly.
In June, a clip from Jon Favreau's 'The Chef Show' went viral when Paltrow insisted she wasn't 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.
However, Paltrow also had an explanation for mixing up which Marvel movies she has appeared in. During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel brought up the viral moment from Jon Favreau's The Chef Show where Paltrow hadn't realized that she had a cameo in the film.
Paltrow told Kimmel that her previous puzzled nature on the matter was "so embarrassing." However, she explained what led to the misunderstanding. "I just got confused. There's so many of these wonderful Marvel interconnecting movies. I thought that it was an Avengers movie, but it was not," she said.
The confusion, she accidentally confessed, was because of the fact that she hadn't seen the film. "I never actually saw the movie. I mean, wait, and cut that out! Take that back," she shared. For his part, Kimmel said he didn't expect the Oscar-winning actor 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."
