Software development firm Astronomer has enlisted Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow to serve as its temporary spokesperson in a video making light of the Coldplay kiss cam incident that turned the company into a household name.
“Thank you for your interest in Astronomer,” the Talented Mr. Ripley star begins in a video posted to Astronomer’s social media accounts on Friday. “Hi, I’m Gwyneth Paltrow, I’ve been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300-plus employees at Astronomer.”
“Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,” Paltrow continues — referring to the company that faced a public relations crisis after two of its executives were caught cuddling at a Coldplay concert in an alleged affair.
The video then cuts to a message being typed on the screen, which reads, “OMG! What the actual f–” before it is cut off, going back to Paltrow.
“Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow, unifying the experience of running data, ML, and AI pipelines at scale,” the Shakespeare in Love star says, humorously dismissing the interrupted query.
