Gwyneth Paltrow previously dished the dirt on how good two of her famous former fellas were in bed.

The Marty Supreme actress, 53, has quite the enviable list of exes, as she's dated some of the most eligible bachelors in showbiz over the years.

She's now happily married to Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk, who she got hitched to in 2018, two years after her divorce from Coldplay's Chris Martin.

But before she began dating musicians and producers, film stars were more Paltrow's speed - such as Hollywood hunks Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck.

She started dating her Seven co-star Pitt back in 1994 and the pair even got engaged at one point, however, they never made it down the aisle.

The couple called it quits six months after the question was popped - but luckily, Paltrow then found Affleck the same year, who proved to be a perfect shoulder to cry on.

She met the Good Will Hunting actor in October 1997 before starring alongside him in Shakespeare in Love and Bounce, but they ended up parting ways after three years together.

During an appearance on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast in 2023, Paltrow reflected upon her high-profile roster of relationships - and ranked Pitt and Affleck's sexual prowess.

Cooper asked the mother-of-two to choose between the pair in a number of categories, such as who was the best kisser.

The Shallow Hal star couldn't make her mind up on this one, as she explained that both were decent snoggers. However, she did offer up an answer when asked which of the actors was better in the sack.

Responding to Cooper's question, Paltrow said: "That is really hard. Because Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind... and then Ben was, like, technically excellent."

"I can't believe my daughter is listening to this," she then laughed.

So, it seems that Affleck might have triumphed in that department - although Pitt was dubbed the better actor by Paltrow.

After describing them both as 'so talented', the Goop founder said: "Ben is a great writer and director, but I guess I'd probably have to say, acting alone, Brad.

"If you think of all the really different roles he's done...Ben is great too. They're both great."

To wrap this fun chat about her exes up, Paltrow then took part in a game of ‘F**k, Marry, Kill’ which featured her famous former flames.

After stewing on it for a second, she revealed that she would have sex with Pitt, re-marry Martin...and bump off Affleck.

"Ben, yeah, God bless him," she added.

So, although he's apparently the most 'technically excellent' notch on her bedpost, his talents still wouldn't save Affleck from elimination if it came down to it.
