The previous couple of weeks probably haven’t been the perfect for former Astronomer executives Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot (and their households), after their affair was outed on the massive display screen at a Coldplay live performance. For most of the people, nonetheless, the scenario has been an limitless supply of leisure, with even Gwyneth Paltrow getting concerned. So how did Chris Martin’s ex-wife find yourself teaming with Astronomer for an advert poking enjoyable at that wild Kiss Cam second?
A little bit over every week after the Coldplay Kiss Cam footage started circulating — which confirmed CEO Andy Byron ducking out of view of the digital camera as Kristin Cabot turned and ran away after they had been caught cuddling — Astronomer addressed the viral second in a reasonably hilarious method. They employed Gwyneth Paltrow on a “very short-term foundation” to reply the general public’s most typical questions. Test it out for your self under:
Watch On
Within the minute-long advert, the Coldplay lead singer’s ex-wife humorously cuts off questions concerning the dishonest scandal — each Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot are reportedly married to different folks — to reply questions on what the opposite 300 workers of the tech firm do (for work, not at Coldplay concert events).
It’s important to respect Astronomer for leaning into the humor of all of it — it does appear futile to struggle the viral second — and the choice to contain Gwyneth Paltrow of all folks is fairly sensible. So how did it come collectively? It seems it was the self-deprecation of all of it that made the Oscar winner comply with the advert. An insider informed Individuals:
It got here collectively in a short time. The corporate reached out to her. Gwyneth has a extremely nice humorousness and it felt humorous sufficient for her to do. It occurred rapidly.
So apparently the corporate got here up with the thought and simply referred to as up the Goop founder. She preferred the tone they had been going for, so all of it apparently got here collectively fairly rapidly.
Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot have each resigned from their positions at Astronomer following the viral second, which has been dissected, recreated and mocked on each platform from huge screens at different concert events and sporting occasions to social media movies. It has even change into a part of the advertising and marketing plan for the upcoming horror film Collectively (hitting the 2025 film calendar on July 30).
Chris Martin hasn’t mentioned an excessive amount of concerning the incident, however throughout one other Coldplay present within the days that adopted, he made positive to offer the viewers loads of warning that they had been about to “use our cameras and put a few of you on the massive display screen.”
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin bought married in 2003 and had two kids earlier than their “aware uncoupling” in 2014. Their divorce was finalized in 2016. To today they continue to be shut, with Paltrow penning a candy birthday tribute to the Coldplay singer earlier this yr, however I’d be very to listen to what Martin thinks about Paltrow teaming up with Astronomer.
