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 performance, the 50-year-old actress snapped an extreme close-up selfie with the 38-year-old hitmaker, which sparked a playful debate in the comments section.
Many fans felt the singer’s appearance in the photo was a bit off-putting, with one fan jokingly asking if Gwyneth was posing with a “Katy Perry wax figure”.

“I know Katy is texting her asking why she picked this pic… and we all know Gwyn looks amazing,” wrote one follower, which included a laugh and cry emoji.
