The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple Martin, has landed a role in Nancy Meyers’ upcoming comedy alongside some of the Oscar winner’s former co-stars.
Per Deadline, Apple, 22, will be starring in the film opposite Tony Hale and Beverly D’Angelo.
Erin Doherty, Penélope Cruz, Jude Law, Owen Wilson, and Kieran Culkin have also landed parts in Warner Bros.’ ensemble project.
Paltrow has worked with Law on multiple films throughout her career, including 1999’s “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” 2004’s “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” and “Contagion” in 2011.
The actress also starred alongside Wilson in the 2001 comedy drama “The Royal Tenenbaums,” and with Cruz in the 2007 rom-com “The Good Night.”
Apple took to her own Instagram Stories to gush over the exciting opportunity, writing, “Dreams come true!!! Thank you @nmeyers for taking a chance on me.”
The model previously made a cameo in the HBO show “Rooster” in March.
While the movie details have been kept under wraps, Meyers did share in a 2023 Instagram post that the project is “about a group of people making a film and the magic and mystery of what we do.”
The new comedy comes 11 years after her last film, “The Intern.”
Aside from landing her first role in a major movie, Apple just celebrated graduating from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Law, History and Society.
Despite earning a more academic set of degrees, the young star has continued to dive into the arts over the past few years.
In October, Apple made her singing debut at Nashville’s Cannery Hall with the Jade Street band.
Her dad — who also shares son Moses, 20, with his ex, Paltrow — proudly watched on from the audience.
Apple also has a songwriting credit on the Coldplay frontman’s “Let Somebody Go” and “feelslikeimfallinginlove” tracks.
But these days, her path is very clear.
As Apple told Vogue in February, “I don’t wanna be a singer. I like musical theater, but getting onstage by yourself to sing is so terrifying.”
“I love dancing and I love acting,” she mused. “My dream is to act.”
The film is set to premiere on Dec. 25, 2027.
