Gwyneth Paltrow knows how to make an entrance, dropping her first ever TikTok video and going viral immediately.
The Oscar winner posted her first-ever video on July 31, that featured a series of clips of the actress, filmed across Europe, that saw her looking off-camera in each one and telling someone in English, French, and Italian, that she was “making a TikTok video”.
As each video continued, Gwyneth was in a different location but in one moment the actress appeared topless while lounging in bed, and in another blink-and-you’ll-miss it scene she was seen soaking in a bathtub.
The video finally ended with the Shakespeare In Love actress throwing up her hands in frustration to joke: “Can I please just make this f***ing TikTok?”

Will Smith, Reese Witherspoon and Jack Black are among the many other A-listers who have joined TikTok in recent years, using the platform to give fans an insider look into their lives, while also being a strategic move to market themselves to younger demographics.
While Gwyneth is no stranger to internet culture, her jump to a personal TikTok channel comes at a major personal transition as her Gen Z kids have both flown the nest and entering new chapters, with daughter Apple, 22, graduating college, and son Moses, 20, preparing to return for his junior year.
Both children – whom she welcomed with ex-husband Chris Martin, to whom she was married from 2003 to 2016 – have flown the nest, with Apple recently graduating from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and Moses studying at Brown University in Rhode Island.

“I’ve been so defined and so fulfilled by motherhood. I don’t even know how to articulate it. It’s like the guiding force. It’s what I return to,” Gwyneth told The Sunday Times in 2024 before Moses left for college.
“I never really go anywhere or do anything because I want to be around my kids while they live at home. You know, it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re doing a girls’ weekend here and there,’ and I’m like, ‘[expletive] no, I have 88 days left of Moses living [with me].”
