We don't know what jade vagina eggs are supposed to do, but helping memory clearly isn't one of them. Goop founder and Marvel star Gwyneth Paltrow has a reputation for forgetting her fellow stars in some of the biggest blockbusters of movie history -- including, most recently, Nick Fury himself.

First it was Sebastian Stan, the Winter Soldier, who starred alongside Paltrow in several Avengers movies and had to reintroduce himself to her three times (and counting). Then it was the entirety of the Spider-Man: Homecoming cast, when Paltrow completely forgot she was in the movie while doing an episode of The Chef Show inspired by her role in said movie.

The latest Marvel victim to be Thanos-ed from Paltrow's memory, though, is none other than Acadamy Award nominee and legend Samuel L. Jackson.

In an Empire interview, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige talked about the epic 10th anniversary photo shoot that brought the sprawling cast together. He revels in how incredible it was to have all these amazing actors in one place, and apparently Paltrow found it pretty incredible too but for a different reason.

"Gwyneth Paltrow [was] asking why Sam Jackson was there, and the other actors [were] jumping in saying, 'What are you talking about? He's Nick Fury! You've been in movies with him,'" he said. "But it was really something special."

Oh Gwyneth. Is this why you're peacing out?
