14 DAY TRIAL // Gwyneth Paltrow is now promoting her second cookbook, “It’s All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great” and, in a new interview with The Telegraph, she talks about her late father, her philosophy in life, and how she doesn’t want her 2 kids saying “pasta” like the British do.
Fans must know that Gwyneth and husband Chris Martin have been living in the UK for years but, the actress reveals, she simply can’t stand how they say “pasta” there.
“I've lived in England for 10 years and the accent is the most beautiful in the world, except for how you pronounce pasta as pass-ta instead of pah-sta,” she says.
“I'm sort of joking when I say this but I really don't want my children speaking that way,” Paltrow adds.
As you can imagine, this exact quote is now being circulated on celebrity blogs and on social media as yet another example of Gwyneth’s unbearable pretentiousness, though, in all fairness, perhaps she was just being honest.
In the same interview, Gwyneth talks about one particular meeting with Leonardo DiCaprio and how he managed to get her off red meat, how she hates doing scenes in movies with food, how she still gets very emotional when she cooks her dad’s favorite foods, and her life before becoming one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood.
“I hung out with Leonardo DiCaprio when I moved to New York. He was vegetarian and he'd talk about how dirty meat is and how bad factory farming is. I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years and although Leo's not totally responsible he definitely planted a seed,” Paltrow says.
She turned macrobiotic in 1999, when her father was diagnosed with cancer, she explains, adding that she thought her diet could help her “heal him by proxy.”
