Gwyneth Paltrow: This Oscar winner unsuccessfully asked for a date
Twenty years ago, actress Gwyneth Paltrow (46) won the Oscar for "Best Actress" for her performance in "Shakespeare in Love" (1998). Presented to the golden boy at that time was Hollywood star Jack Nicholson (81, "It could not be better"). With Nicholson Paltrow connects "a funny story", as she has revealed in an interview with the US industry publication "Variety".
"I have a friend!"
Nicholson asked her for an appointment before her Oscar win, Paltrow recalls. But she refused: "I have a boyfriend!", She told him then. However, it was not unpleasant that she had knocked out the rendezvous. On the contrary, Nicholson proved to be a true gentleman. Since she had forgotten at the Oscars, next to the statue and the envelope with her name to take from him, Nicholson sent her this - including a loving message. This has then frame Paltrow.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been married to screenwriter Brad Falchuk, 47, since 2018. From their first marriage with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin (41) are the children Apple (14) and Moses (12). The actress was once also involved with Brad Pitt (55) and Ben Affleck (46).
The relationship with Pitt broke in 1997, which is why she almost canceled her Oscar-winning role in "Shakespeare in Love". "I was in the middle of a terrible breakup and the thought of going to England and being away from home just seemed ..." Paltrow told "Variety". She did not even read the script. "I just said, 'I can not read anything right now, I'm having a really difficult time,'" but the actress changed her mind. "Shakespeare in Love" is "a beautiful movie," says Paltrow.
