Gwyneth Paltrow is an extremely well known actress who was born to be a star! Her father is a big Hollywood producer, while her mother is a Tony award-winning actress. I’m sure Paltrow made them both proud when she won an Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love, along with several other awards.

Paltrow is married to Chris Martin of Coldplay, and made a small name for herself in music when she covered Cee-Lo’s “F**k you” on the hit show Glee, and even went on to perform the song live. Here are some other interesting facts about Paltrow you may not have known…

She was engaged to Brad Pitt for six months in 1997, but ended it because she didn’t feel she was ready for marriage.

She takes note of which paparazzi are getting a little too close. “I keep a whole log. I take pictures of their cars, write down license plate numbers, everything.”

She once dressed in the 200-pound fat suit she wore in the film ‘Shallow Hal’ out to a bar, and claimed she was disgusted by the treatment she received as an obese woman. 

She spends thanksgiving with godfather Steven Spielberg and his family every year at their home in the Hamptons.

She was the maid of honor at Madonna’s wedding, when she married Guy Ritchie. 

She’s very close friends with Beyonce. The two met through their famous husbands Jay-Z and Chris Martin. They’re even planning a trip to Italy where they will be taking Blue Ivy, Apple, and Moses to have yoga lessons.
