Gwyneth Paltrow is Dating a Sex Addict

by Kate Ward

Gwyneth Paltrow is dating a sex addict... in Thanks for Sharing, that is. The Sept. 20 film — directed by Stuart Blumberg — stars Paltrow as a woman romancing a man (Mark Ruffalo) who's saddled with constant thoughts about sex. (As the trailer notes, "The average person thinks about sex 15 times a day, but some people think about it 15 times an hour.")

While Thanks for Sharing definitely doesn't play the addiction for laughs — Ruffalo attends a recovery program alongside other addicts — it seems to bring some levity to a serious situation. Especially through Josh Gad, the Book of Mormon and 1600 Penn star who establishes an interesting friendship with a fellow addict, played by Alecia Moore. Is that name not familiar? You'd know her better as Pink.

Thanks for sharing, Gwyneth.
