Robert Downey Jr. Jokes Gwyneth Paltrow Doesn't Remember Tom Holland
Robert Downey Jr. humorously highlighted Gwyneth Paltrow’s repeated confusion about her Marvel Cinematic Universe roles, including forgetting Tom Holland despite starring in multiple films together.
- On Wednesday, December 3, Robert Downey Jr. joked that Gwyneth Paltrow did not recognise Tom Holland while presenting her the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at The Hollywood Reporter's 2025 Women in Entertainment breakfast gala.
- In March, Paltrow told Vanity Fair she was surprised to learn she was in seven Marvel films and recalled not realizing she was in Spider-Man: Homecoming, saying 'That can't be right.'
- Downey recalled Paltrow asking 'Who's that?' and saying 'He said his name is Peter', then told the audience, "You've done four movies with him," though reports note three released projects.
- Downey characterised the ribbing as affectionate by calling Gwyneth Paltrow "impossibly intelligent, yet forever confused" about the MCU, while she praised him as the older brother she never had.
- Looking beyond the anecdote, Gwyneth Paltrow joined the MCU in 2008 as Pepper Potts and is rumoured for Avengers: Doomsday while focusing on Goop and this year's Marty Supreme.
