Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet spoke to each other during a Vogue promotion of their next Safdie-directed flick, Marty Supreme. In an unbelievable twist of conversation, Chalamet mentioned that he had recently seen the mega-successful Tron: Legacy, to which Paltrow said:
Wow. Never heard of it.
Tron: Legacy (2010) performed extremely well at the box office, being the sequel to the 1982 film Tron. With a great synth-driven score by the legends Daft Punk, Chalamet stressed how great the score was before exchanging music with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow Get Intimate About Music Recs
Timothée Chalamet asked Gwyneth Paltrow about the first album she ever bought, to which she replied that it was The Go-Go’s first album with the song Our Lips Are Sealed. The Go-Go’s are an American all-female rock band who topped the Billboard charts with their debut album Beauty and the Beat, the one that Paltrow is referencing.
They had a hilarious exchange about Paltrow owning one of Michael Jackson’s albums, clearly showing their age gap. Gwyneth Paltrow asked Chalamet what his go-to song is to sing in the car, to which he said that it’s Lady by D’Angelo of late.
After a bit more exchanging, Chalamet asked if Paltrow knew Weyes Blood, an Americana singer who performed in their film Marty Supreme. The singer contributed background vocals to the music of the film. Here are key details about their film.

Marty Supreme’s promotional campaign has certainly opened up the dialogue of music and films, revealing the big surprise that Paltrow didn’t know about Tron: Legacy, but who would, after the disaster that was Tron: Ares?
Tron’s Jared Leto Legacy Is Unfortunately a Disaster

Tron: Ares was both a box office and a critical failure, tarnishing the Tron legacy built over decades in cinema history. Deadline reported that the film cost $220 million and grossed only $142 million at the box office (via BoxOfficeMojo).
With a projected $160 million at the box office by Deadline, the movie was inevitably headed to lose a sh*t ton of money, but not meeting its already low target has led to a permanent black mark in the franchise. This is quite unfortunate given that Tron: Legacy was a high-benchmark for technical and critical achievement in cinema.
Positioning Jared Leto in the lead certainly didn’t help, as the actor has been criticised for numerous reasons, including his so-called way of “method acting” that has led to multiple producers and directors becoming frustrated with the actor. He no longer has the box office pull he once did.
Tron, hopefully, will come back one day after lessons have been learnt, and we hope that once the next one is out, Gwyneth Paltrow will have at least heard of it. What do you think of Paltrow not knowing Tron: Legacy? Let us know in the comments.
Tron: Legacy is currently streaming on Disney+ in the U.S. Marty Supreme is set to release in cinemas on December 25, 2025, across the U.S.
