Paltrow also hasn’t missed the opportunity of commending her co-star on his amazing physique.

“By the way, him without a shirt is awesome…right now and he has the best b*tt in the world, I recommend you touching in on the way out”
Although RDJ’s story in the MCU has already ended with him sacrificing himself at the end of Avengers: Endgame. The Shallow Hal actress is still open to the idea of returning to the MCU.
