Gwyneth Paltrow

First he crashed with A duo , which he shot precisely “a duet” with his father, the film director Bruce Paltrow , with whom, paradoxically, he had not worked until then. The filmmaker died shortly after, leaving his daughter, who was spending a few days on vacation with him in Italy, heartbroken. Something to tell , The Anniversary Party , Possession , Flying high and Sylvia did not give the expected results, The Tenenbaums went unnoticed despite its quality, and only saved the furniture with Blind Love , the typical tacky comedy by the Farrelly brothers.

You cannot complain about your personal life, because it is going from strength to strength at full sail. She made a pretty good recovery from the passing of her father when she gave birth to Apple, her first child, last May. She declares that she is happy with her husband, C. Martin, leader of the Coldplay musical group. The actress seems to have finally found the stability she lacked, after her failed romances with Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck . And it is that for her the success and the prizes of her do not mean anything. “Wishing for fame is not the way, it only leads to an empty world. People who want fame are looking for answers in the wrong direction, ”she explains with surprising lucidity.

It is rumored that the Paltrow-Martin couple could plan to build a house in Buenaventura, the Toledo town where they have been given a plot of land. It turns out that the land is next to Talavera de la Reina, where the actress lived when she was fifteen years old. Not only did she learn to speak Spanish perfectly in an exchange, but she also keeps good memories of our country. She “she especially adored the people, she was very hospitable. They were very open people. We would go out dancing every night, and often we would get up until dawn. I also remember food and drink. It was a very special time in my life, ”says the actress, who will undoubtedly have thought more than once about the quality of life that her little girl was going to have in our homes.

There is no doubt that in Spain the actress could achieve her dream, which she constantly confesses in interviews, to recover lost privacy. At the moment she doesn’t live in Hollywood, where she feels like “a weirdo”, but in London, where apparently people don’t mind if she goes out shopping or having a coffee.

As for the way to reconcile motherhood with her career, Gwyneth Palthrow is clear. “I have lived a lot, I have traveled a lot, I have worked a lot. And now that I have a husband and a daughter, my perspective on the world is different. I think the most important thing in life is family, ”says the actress, who will continue in the world of cinema, although she has planned to slow down. “I will ride less than before. Maybe a movie a year ”, she explained. At the moment she says that she feels satisfied with Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow , and above all surprised, after seeing her mounted, because she spent the entire shoot in front of a blue screen, without having any idea of ​​how she was going to stay. Of her first production of adventures, “the relationship between Polly Perkins, my character, and Captain Sky, that is, Jude Law , stands out.”. I love stories of men and women who spend all their time arguing, but who really love each other very much”, explains the interpreter.

In addition, the star has finished filming The Hidden Truth , where he has once again placed himself under the command of John Madden , to whom, as he has repeated on more than one occasion, he owes the Oscar he was given for Shakespeare in Love , directed by the filmmaker British. In this recently completed drama, Gwyneth stars as Catherine, a young woman trying to comfort her father, an eminent dying math professor played by Anthony Hopkins .
