If something characterizes the actress Gwyneth Paltrow, it is her sense of humor. This was demonstrated by her in her latest interview with the YouTube program Hot Ones this Thursday. The winner of an Oscar and a Golden Globe for best actress for Shakespeare in Love, she jokingly cursed Bill Clinton, something that has not gone unnoticed in the media and on social networks.
In the aforementioned interview, the ex-wife of singer Chris Martin was asked about a long-standing rumor that circulated about former President Bill Clinton, who allegedly fainted during a White House screening of his 1996 film, Emma. “True. He was snoring right in front of me,” he confirmed to host Sean Evans. “I thought, ‘Wow, I guess this is going to be a really successful movie,'” he joked.
The film, based on the bestselling novel by Jane Austen, centers on a young woman in 19th century England who intends to find her friends potential spouses. It also starred Toni Collette, Jeremy Northam, Alan Cumming and Greta Scacchi. The film was considered a success, grossing almost $40 million worldwide, with a production budget of less than $8 million.
At another point in the interview, the actress criticized superhero movies despite having starred in two installments of the film Iron Man. “If I look at the industry as a whole, there is a kind of big push towards superhero movies,” she said. “I mean, you can only make so many good ones that feel truly original, and yet you still have to try to reach as many people as possible, which sometimes gets in the way of quality, specificity, or real insights” , she expressed.
The singer of Seven and A Perfect Crime has stopped acting in recent years to focus on ‘Goop’, her wellness and lifestyle company. “I’ve never said I’m quitting acting,” she said in an interview with the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie in 2020.
“What I’m saying is that ‘Goop’ is my full-time passion, and being the founder and CEO of ‘Goop’ is what I do all day every day, and occasionally when something is right and works for my kids and my good life, I can participate,” he expressed. “I don’t think I’m focused on acting full time right now,” she said at the time.
