Pop superstar Katy Perry is the latest guest on Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP podcast, which has also featured other A-list guests like Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey in the past.
And to promote the look, the 50-year-old actress took an extreme close-up selfie with the 38-year-old hitmaker, sparking a playful debate in the comments.
Many fans took issue with the singer’s appearance in the photo, with one fan jokingly asking if Gwyneth was posing with a “Katy Perry wax figure”.

Others blamed the photo’s poor “lighting and editing”, as well as the odd angle, for distorting the couple’s naturally beautiful faces.
For the selfie, a strikingly make-up-free Gwyneth smiled for the camera with her hair slicked back, while Katy looked poised in her full hair and make-up look.
“You both look awful whoever posted that pic lol,” read one rude comment, while another wrote to Gwyneth, “[doing] Katy dirty’ by uploading the photo.
“I know Katy texted her asking why she chose this pic… and we all know Gwyn looks amazing,” one follower wrote, adding a laughing, crying emoji.

Katy explained that the couple ended up breaking up because she was “putting him to the test, like, ‘Do you REALLY love me?’
“Because a lot of people love me on the surface, but I want to show you how fucking crazy I am. And can you handle it? And he could have it! And he was there and he was strong and that’s a real man.’
The duo finally got back together and Orlando proposed on Valentine’s Day 2019.
Katy added that another good sign is that “dogs and babies” love the English hunk.
