Gwyneth Paltrow, who recently appeared alongside Timothee Chalamet in Josh Safdie’s Marty Supreme, made a podcast appearance in Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast. During their discussion, Poehler mistook Paltrow for Eyes Wide Shut star Nicole Kidman. This led to a good round of laughter, before Paltrow spoke about “husband” Tom Cruise and called him “hot.”
Gwyneth Paltrow tells Amy Poehler that Tom Cruise was hot
Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Amy Poehler’s Good Hang Podcast, where the veteran comedian jokingly asked Paltrow, “Cold Mountain. How cold was the mountain?” To this, Paltrow appeared confused and replied, “I wasn’t in Cold Mountain!”
Poehler made up with a funny improv move. The two went on to laugh it off before Paltrow said, “But thanks for thinking I’m Nicole Kidman. Bonus!” Clearly a little embarrassed, Poehler asked her, “Wait, why did I think you were in Cold Mountain?”
Paltrow responded, “I don’t know, but I’m so happy you did.” Poehler proceeded to continue the joke and asked Paltrow, “Eyes Wide Shut. What was it like working with your husband, Tom Cruise?” Paltrow jokingly replied, “Oh, he was hot.”
Poehler seemingly messed up the two actresses, who do share a lot of things. They nearly rose to prominence at the same time, and had similar ages, frames, and hairstyles. They were also both critically acclaimed actresses, bagging major awards and appearing in multiple critically acclaimed movies.
Kidman bagged her first major role in 1990, and Paltrow began just a year later. However, Paltrow is five years younger than Kidman.
Paltrow went on to speak about a variety of subjects in the podcast, including the blowback she received after her breakup with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest film, Marty Supreme, has earned critical acclaim all around the globe and is being widely hailed as one of the best films of 2025. It premiered in the United States on December 25, 2025, and is still running in theatres.
