Gwyneth Paltrow has dated some of the biggest names in Hollywood, but last year, she revealed exactly who she considered to be the best in bed.
The year was 1994: Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction had premiered on the silver screen, Snow White entered into the National Film Registry, and Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in Alan Rudolph’s Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle.
1994 also saw the acclaimed actress striking up a relationship with Brad Pitt, which would result in a short-lived engagement before their subsequent split in 1997.
After breaking up with the Fight Club favorite, the Goop founder went on to couple with Ben Affleck after meeting him at a dinner hosted by disgraced former film producer Harvey Weinstein.
After dating on and off for three years, the pair called it quits.
The mother of two, now 52, eventually tied the knot with Coldplay’s Chris Martin, whom she split from after 13 years of marriage in 2016.
Now, she’s married to TV writer Brad Falchuk, while her ex-boyfriend Pitt, 60, is dating jewellery designer Inés De Ramón.
On the other hand, Affleck, 52, is currently in the midst of divorcing his second wife Jennifer Lopez, who filed papers on August 20.
All of the stars will have changed a lot over the last few decades – potentially even picking up some new moves in the bedroom while they were at it – but fans have been keen to learn which of Paltrow’s famous former boyfriends Paltrow she considered to be the best in bed.

“That’s really hard,” she said during an appearance on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
“Brad was major chemistry, love-of-your-life at the time,” she explained. “Ben was technically excellent.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Paltrow recalled how Pitt popped the question when they got engaged in 1996.
“One night we were on the balcony of this house we were renting in this little town in Argentina,” she said. “I wish I remembered exactly what he said, but he proposed, it was fantastic, I was thrilled. We had talked about it, but I was surprised in the moment, I remember that. I must have been 24.”
When it came to calling it quits, Paltrow admitted the break up was ‘really hard’, but ‘the right thing at that time’.

While playing along to 30-year-old Cooper’s game of ‘Ben or Brad’, Paltrow also credited both actors with being ‘good kissers’, and described Pitt as being the more romantic of the two.
However, Affleck was more likely to make Paltrow laugh – though the pair were also more likely to get into an argument, Paltrow claimed.
“I can’t believe my daughter’s listening to this,” the star added at one point.
