In a surprising turn of events, Astronomer has hired Gwyneth Paltrow to 'answer questions' from the Internet.
Paltrow and Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin married in 2003 and divorced in 2016.
This comes after the company's now former-CEO was mired in controversy after being seen at a Coldplay concert with the firm's HR head.
The Oscar-winning Paltrow says in the video that she has been hired on a "very temporary" basis to answer common questions that people have been asking on the Internet.
While the star doesn't actually answer any questions or address any real concerns that netizens may have conveyed earlier, the actor does redirect the conversation to the products that the firm already offers.
Just last week, Astronomer's CEO Andy Byron put in his resignation, according to a statement issued by the tech company.
The company said on X, "As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.
"Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO."
The HR head Kristin Cabot, accused of having an affair with Byron, has reportedly left her job as well, according to TMZ. – Khaleej Times/Tribune News Service
