Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a> has just possibly made the cameo of the year.\n<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner pops up as a “temporary spokesperson” in a surprise video shared Friday to the social media accounts of Astronomer, the tech company at the center of all of the viral Coldplay<\/a> kiss cam drama<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

In the video<\/a>, which features the caption, “Thank you for your interest in Astronomer,” Paltrow is shown sitting at a table, hands clasped, donning a light blue button-down shirt. “Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow,” she begins. “I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer. Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

At this, a question is typed on screen: “OMG What the actual f.” “Yes,” Paltrow deadpans, adding, “Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data ML and AI pipelines at scale.”\n<\/p>\n

“We’ve been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,” she adds.\n<\/p>\n

The tongue-in-cheek video comes after a jumbotron appearance went very awry at Coldplay’s show July 16 and promptly captured the zeitgeist online. In the viral moment, a man and woman later identified as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR executive Kristin Cabot could be seen canoodling as they watched the concert. When the co-workers realized they were on the jumbotron, they quickly separated, with Byron ducking out of the picture and Cabot covering her face and then turning her back.<\/p>\n

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin<\/a> buttoned the moment by telling the crowd, “All right, come on, you’re okay. Uh-oh, what? Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”<\/p>\n

The scene and its rapid fallout naturally blew up online, and as the Paltrow video alludes to, Astronomer has received much press attention in its wake. Both Byron and Cabot have also since resigned from the company.\n<\/p>\n

Continuing the bit in the video, the question “How is your social media holding\u2014” pops up, as Paltrow cuts in again with, “Yes! There is still room available at our Beyond Analytics event in September.”\n<\/p>\n

Chris Martin of Coldplay performs on NBC’s ‘Today’ at Rockefeller Plaza on October 08, 2024.<\/p>\n

She concludes, “We will now be returning to what we do best: Delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.”\n<\/p>\n

The video has an extra-meta twist that makes it even more amusing: Paltrow was of course married to Coldplay’s Martin from 2003 to 2016, and the two share two children together, Apple and Moses.\n<\/p>\n
