In a short video, the Shakespeare in Love and Iron Man star said she had been hired as a “very temporary” spokesperson for Astronomer.
“Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days and they wanted me to answer the most common ones,” Paltrow said, smiling and deftly avoiding mention of the kiss cam fuss.
“We’ve been thrilled that so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,” she said. “We will now be returning to what we do best – delivering game-changing results for our customers.”
When footage from the kiss cam first spread online, it wasn’t immediately clear who the couple were. Soon after the company identified the pair, and Byron resigned followed by Cabot. The video clip resulted in a steady stream of memes, parody videos and screenshots of the pair’s shocked faces filling social media feeds.
Online streams of Coldplay’s songs jumped 20 per centin the days after the video went viral, according to Luminate, an industry data and analytics company.
