Industry Experts Call Paltrow’s Comments ‘Irresponsible’
Gwyneth Paltrow received strong condemnation from Caroline Hollick, who serves as a respected film producer and executive, because of her relaxed approach to intimacy coordination. A talk about sexual matters was the topic during “Let’s Talk About Sex!,” a panel discussion. During his March 25 appearance at the Series Mania drama festival, Hollick criticized the actress for her dangerous behavior during his keynote presentation titled “Let’s Talk About Sex! (And Consent).”
“As a powerful woman in Hollywood acting with a man much younger than her, well I’m sure [Chalamet] is chill, but I thought it was quite an irresponsible thing to say,” Hollick remarked.
Why Intimacy Coordinators Matter on Set
Through working on major projects, Hollick demonstrated the necessity of intimacy coordinators because they “empower” actors by providing protection for actors during preparation of sensitive scenes on location. Intimacy coordinators create a secure professional environment through production sets that enable actors to concentrate on their work while someone provides them reassurance.
