Gwyneth Paltrow enjoys lunch date with husband Brad Falchuck – as she returns to acting in Timothee Chalamet film
Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted enjoying a lunch date with husband Brad Falchuk as she prepares for her long-awaited return to the silver screen.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner, who has scaled back her acting career in recent years, effortlessly exuded style in a relaxed outfit during the couple’s Sunday outing in Santa Barbara.
The A-star looked stunning in a light blue shirt dress, paired with funky yellow cowboy boots with star prints, and flashed her signature megawatt smile as they left the restaurant.
She completed her chic look with designer aviator sunglasses and a striped bag, while her handsome TV producer husband kept it casual in a white henley and cargo pants.
The couple’s charming outing comes just days after it was announced that Gwyneth will be making her acting comeback opposite Timothée Chalamet in A24’s Marty Supreme.

The film, a drama inspired by the world of professional ping-pong players, is Paltrow’s first film since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
Her most recent roles include the lead role in the Netflix series The Politician and her voice for the 2022 film She Said, as well as an episode of American Horror Stories in 2023.
Previous reports suggested that the project was loosely inspired by the life of professional table tennis player Marty Reisman, but sources now claim that it is a “fictionalized original” film and not a straightforward biopic about Reisman.
Reisman, one of the most celebrated American table tennis players in history, won more than 22 major titles between 1967 and 2002.
He even entertained the audience with a table tennis comedy, with which he provided the opening act for the Harlem Globetrotters for many years.
Reisman died in 2012 at the age of 82. Susan Sarandon called him a “dear friend” and a “major force in the sport of ping-pong.”
No details have yet been released about Paltrow’s role, as the plot is being kept top secret.
The production schedule and target release date of A24 are currently unclear.
Paltrow had previously indicated that she would be taking a step back from her acting career to devote more time to Goop, the lifestyle and wellness brand she founded in 2008.

I’m gonna do a little bit more [of acting] here and there, but [Goop] “really takes up almost all of my time,” she said Today from 2017.
“I’ve had an incredible acting career, but I’ve also had a deep passion for producing content, creating great products, and curating things.
“It came about slowly and had a long development period, but now it is a real company.”
Goop has grown into a highly profitable business, with a brand value reportedly exceeding $250 million, thanks to its diverse offering of wellness products, events and media content.
