Stan, the Invisible Winter Soldier? Gwyneth's Marvelous Memory Lapses! As reported by Vanity Fair in 2019, Sebastian Stan, better known to Marvel fans as the 'Winter Soldier', had quite the amusing encounter (or rather encounters) with fellow MCU alum, Gwyneth Paltrow.
It seems that Paltrow has a peculiar problem: she can't quite seem to remember her own co-stars, even if they've shared the MCU limelight. And if you're Sebastian Stan, you're apparently most forgettable!
Gwyneth's MCU Muddles
Stan, a prominent figure in Captain America and set to soar in 'Falcon and the Winter Soldier', took to Instagram from the frontlines of Paris Fashion Week. Among esteemed fashion names like Valentino Garavani and Pierpaolo Piccioli, Stan was seen hovering behind Paltrow. “Also glad I got to reintroduce myself to @gwynethpaltrow for the third time. We are in the same film...” he quipped.
Oh, the burn! The Internet detectives, always alert, were swift to dig up some video proof. Lo and behold, during the 2018 premiere of 'Avengers: Infinity War', Gwyneth, in a moment of candid camera, was seen inquiring Chris Pratt about the identity of Stan, to which Pratt, possibly suppressing a chuckle, enlightens her.
Is Stan the Only One?
The hilariousness doesn't end there. Paltrow's apparent 'Marvel Amnesia' has turned into a sort of industry joke. First, she had a momentary lapse recalling her cameo in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming', leading to a heartbreak for Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland. As Holland recounted, “I mean, I’ve only worked with Gwyneth one time... which she doesn’t remember. Which still to this day breaks my heart.”
Yet, the pièce de résistance was when Gwyneth, draped in her blue Marvel attire, asked Holland for a snap with him and Robert Downey Jr. Upon sharing, Holland was simply dubbed as 'this guy'. Holland and Stan should perhaps consider starting an MCU memory support group, yes?
