Gwyneth Paltrow says her mind was f***** up by winning an Oscar aged 26.
The actress named Best Actress for her role in 1998s Shakespeare in Love made the admission as she discussed her family and her upcoming 50th birthday. She said during an interview on CBS Sunday Morning (25.09.22) about getting the award Its crazy when I think about that now. At the time I thought I was like a full adult you know?When correspondent Tracy Smith asked What do you think that did to your mind? Gwyneth laughed F***** it up.
The actress turned Goop founder went on You know to reach that kind of like pinnacle at that age and have that much scrutiny and attention and then its like no matter what you do after that you can not really win right? Its like you have a few years of its like nothings gonna live up to that. Its just a lot to hold. When asked when she decided to focus on wellness which led to Gwyneth setting up her Goop firm, she said I will tell you exactly when my father got cancer.And I was helping him one day feeding him with a syringe and feeding tube. And it struck me, like, ‘What is in this can that I am injecting directly into his stomach?’
And it was the first time I made a connection between food and wellness. I will never forget that moment. Mum of two Gwyneth who shares daughter Apple 18 and son Moses 16, with her 45 year old Coldplay frontman ex husband Chris Martin from whom she split in 2016 before marrying 51 year old TV producer Brad Falchuk said in an essay posted on Goop last week about heading for the milestone age she was accepting her loosening skin and wrinkles.
She added in a long blog titled On Turning 50 My body a map of the evidence of all the days is less timeless. A collection of marks and irregularities that dog ear the chapters. Scarred from oven burns a finger smashed in a window long ago the birth of a child. Silver hair and fine lines. The sun has left her celestial fingerprints all over me as if she soaked a brush in dark taupe water colour flecking it over my skin.
