Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Idea She Starred In 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

Gwyneth Paltrow recently appeared alongside Jon Favreau and chef Roy Choi in their new Netflix cooking show,The Chef Show, and, boy, did she learn something interesting. And, no, it had nothing to do with what they were cooking. Gwyneth actually discovered she acted in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Before appearing on The Chef Show, the 46-year-old actress genuinely had no idea she starred in the superhero flick.

The moment Gwyneth finds out her Marvel character Pepper Potts was in the first new Spider-Man film is honestly LOL worthy. As her friend (and Spider-man co-star) Jon begins to explain how the idea for The Chew Show came to be, he recalls his time in Atlanta filming the Marvel movie with Gwyneth and Robert Downey Jr. The only problem? Gwyneth thought they were filming a completely different movie.

“We’re weren’t in Spider-Man,” Gwyneth says as she zests an orange. “I was in Avengers."

"No, you were in Spider-Man also,” Jon informs the flabbergasted Gwyneth. “Remember Spider-Man in the end and…and…Tom Holland’s there, and you’re going to walk out and do a press conference?”

This was enough to jog her memory of shooting the scene, though it seems obvious she thought she was only filming her scenes for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame at the time of the shoot. You can watch the hilarious moment below:
