Why Gwyneth Paltrow Refused to Do a Sex Scene With Ethan Hawke
Gwyneth Paltrow declined a sex scene in the 1998 film due to concerns about her family seeing it, admitting she was likely too prudish then.
- Gwyneth Paltrow declined a sex scene pitched by Alfonso Cuarón for the 1998 film Great Expectations, revisiting the decision in a Dec. 17 Vanity Fair video with Ethan Hawke.
- Paltrow said, `I was definitely worried about it` and felt really self-conscious about Bruce Paltrow, her father, and Paltrow's grandfather, influencing her decision.
- Recounting Cuarón's pitch, Hawke said it included camera moves and a sunlike light effect, while Paltrow insisted, `Ne-ver, I never would have done that.`
- Hawke praised Paltrow for handling the refusal firmly and not petulantly, and they reunited for Vanity Fair to discuss Marty Supreme and Blue Moon and reflect on their early roles.
- In hindsight, Paltrow said she declined the 1998 Great Expectations sex scene, and she now states `Now, I wouldn't care.` nearly three decades later, reflecting on early-career choices.
