Gwyneth Paltrow to Fall for Mark Ruffalo’s Sex Addict

Gwyneth Paltrow.

You’ve seen Gwyneth Paltrow’s oh-no face on all those Contagion billboards, but are you ready for a look at her O-face? (Sorry, we know that sentence probably prompted your own oh-no face.) Variety reports that Paltrow has come aboard Stuart Blumberg’s indie dramedy Thanks for Sharing, in which she’ll play a woman who falls for Mark Ruffalo’s character, a sex addict seeking treatment. Joely Richardson has also been cast in the film, so that’s a whole lot of people with strong Ryan Murphy connections: Paltrow is Murphy’s Glee muse, Richardson toplined Nip/Tuck, and Ruffalo is still set to star in Murphy’s next film, an adaptation of The Normal Heart.
