Actress and wellness entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow just grabbed some serious attention to celebrate her 48th birthday.

Posing totally nude in an Instagram post, covered up only by her own arms and legs, the film star and creator of the Goop fashion and wellness brand managed to illustrate that a picture really is worth a thousand words.

In Paltrow's case, it was worth a product plug, some body-positive talk in the comments, and a totally embarrassed teen daughter.

Her caption on the post captured it well:

"In nothing but my birthday suit today... thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and thank you to @goop 's insanely amazing brand new body butter for making me think I can still get my kit off. 💙 #goopgenes"


The post attracted nearly a million likes and just over 17,000 comments from celebrities and fans alike. And of all those reactions, that of Paltrow's 16-year old daughter, Apple Martin, was one of the most pointed.

Apple, whose father is Chris Martin, front man of the British band Coldplay and Paltrow's ex-husband of 13 years, was aghast at her mother's bold celebration.

Paltrow showed no shame whatsoever in response to her daughter's online outburst. She replied with some smiley face emojis and moved on to the slew of positive feedback that so many people gave in the comments.

Others in comment section, however, got a kick out of Martin's tongue-in-cheek eruption.

Apparently all those positive reactions even rubbed off on Apple Martin, who came around with a follow up compliment.

Aside from their cursory interactions within the Instagram comments section, here's hoping that Martin was able to exchange some kind, thoughtful words for her mom's big day.

It's already scary to witness a younger person go through a life-changing medical diagnosis, but it's especially jarring to see a medical professional, who presumably knows best about how to care for themselves, go through the same.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
