Paltrow will star alongside Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right) in Thanks for Sharing in which she will play Phoebe, a successful businesswoman who falls for Ruffalo's character while trying to break her sex addiction through a 12-step recovery support group. Tim Robbins and Joely Richardson will play another couple enrolled in the program.
The saucy storyline represents a stark contrast to Paltrow's current movie. She stars in Contagion alongside Matt Damon in a Steven Soderbergh disaster film about a deadly virus sweeping the planet.
