Star podcaster Alex Cooper (28) is known for peppering the guests of her podcast “Call Her Daddy” with indiscreet questions about her sex life. In her most recent show, she managed to squeeze Gwyneth Paltrow (50) about her love life with Brad Pitt (59) and Ben Affleck (50).
The actress dated Brad Pitt between 1994 and 1997 but called off their engagement because she felt too young to marry at the time. After the split, she went on to have a three-year relationship with Ben Affleck.
Right at the start of the conversation, the curious podcaster asked her celebrity guest to rate which of the two ex-boyfriends was better in bed. After a moment of embarrassment (“I can’t believe my daughter is listening to this…”) Paltrow then opened up freely.
“It’s really hard. Brad was like perfect chemistry, the love of your life. And Ben was technically brilliant.”
Further questions also clarified which ex was more romantic (Brad), who made her laugh more (Ben) and with whom she had more arguments (Ben). When asked which of the two was the better kisser, she gave a diplomatic answer: “They were both good kissers.”
Ben Affleck may not have liked Paltrow’s response to the question of which of the two she thinks is the better actor. The actress explained, “They’re both so talented. And Ben is a great writer and director. But I think I’d say Brad is the better actor. When you think about all the different roles he’s played.”
After the failed relationship with Pitt and Affleck, the Oscar winner was married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin (46) between 2003 and 2016, with whom she has two children. In 2018 she gave the vows to TV producer Brad Falchuk (52).
