Just when we thought the Coldplay Jumbotron controversy had run its course, Gwyneth Paltrow has entered the chat.
The Academy Award-winning actress and Goop founder appeared in a new â and very funny â ad for Astronomer, the tech firm whose former CEO and human resources chief launched a million memes after being shown on a Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert last week.

âIâve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer,â Paltrow said in the clip shared on the companyâs Instagram on Friday night, adding that Astronomer had received âa lot of questions over the last few days.â
In addition to her other hats, Paltrow, of course, is also the famously âconsciously uncoupledâ ex-wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who at a concert in Boston last week inadvertently revealed an intimate moment between two top executives at Astronomer â who were seen embracing but immediately ducked from view â during a performance of Coldplayâs âJumbotron Song.â

âWhoa, look at these two,â Martin quipped at the time. âEither theyâre having an affair or theyâre just very shy.â
The moment caused a major internet sensation and an immediate spotlight on Astronomer. Both executives shown in the video have since resigned.
In the clip featuring Paltrow on Friday, the âquestionsâ she addresses do not deal with the controversy, but rather the tech-focused business dealings of New York-based firm Astronomer.
The clipâs caption read simply, âThank you for your interest in Astronomer.â
