Gwyneth Paltrow revealed on Amy Poehler's podcast that she was dropped from a movie role shortly after her 2014 divorce from Chris Martin. Paltrow believes a distributor deemed her "too hot to touch" due to intense media scrutiny surrounding their "conscious uncoupling" announcement. She also reflected on how the phrase may have unsettled people experiencing difficult divorces, suggesting it implied they did something wrong. Paltrow described losing the role as an additional setback during a challenging personal period.
