Apple Martin is already following in her mother Gwyneth Paltrow's footsteps by launching her Hollywood film career. The 22-year-old has secured her first major film role in a new, highly anticipated Nancy Meyers movie, less than two weeks after graduating from college.
Meyers is one of the most influential women in Hollywood, having directed some of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time, including the 2003 hit Something's Gotta Give, 2006's The Holiday, and 2009's It's Complicated. Her new film has just begun production and is slated for release next year.
A-list actors attached to the project include Kieran Culkin, Jude Law, Penelope Cruz, and Owen Wilson, according to Deadline. Martin officially joined the cast on Monday.
Martin's mother, Paltrow, has previously worked with all three of the actors Martin will star alongside. Paltrow played Law's lover in 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley, worked with Cruz in the 2007 film The Good Night, and had scenes with Wilson in the 2001 comedy The Royal Tenenbaums.
Other co-stars on the film include Tony Hale, Beverly D'Angelo, and Erin Doherty. The plot has not yet been disclosed, but Meyers hinted three years ago that the film is semi-autobiographical. It is about 'a group of people making a film and the magic and mystery of what we do,' she wrote online.
Meyers is directing from her own script and producing alongside Ilona Herzberg, with Diana Pokorny and Paula Case serving as executive producers. The film is set to be released on December 25, 2027.
Martin posted about the acting job on her Instagram Stories, adding a note: 'Dream come true!!! Thank you @nmeyers for taking a chance on me,' along with two red hearts.
Martin makes her feature film debut in Meyers' comedy after signing with a powerful agent at CAA. She is also working with her mother's manager, Cade Hudson, at Hudson Management Group. Martin's other acting credit is a small role on the show Rooster with Steve Carell.
Martin recently graduated from Vanderbilt University in Nashville with a degree in Law, History, and Society. The blonde has appeared in fashion campaigns for brands such as Gap, Self-Portrait, and Chloé, and has also collaborated with French fashion house Chanel.
