Gwyneth Paltrow uses her Best Actress Oscar as a doorstop
The actress found a use for her prestigious statuette in her Hamptons home.
On the occasion of a Q&A in 73 questions initiated by VOGUE, Gwyneth Paltrow struts like a shepherdess in her (huge) garden. The interviewer is surprised to see the atypical doorstop of the actress who exclaims: “It works very well!”. Even though the staging seems obvious, Paltrow would have some good reasons not to host the statue inside her home.
Gwyneth Paltrow, winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress for Shakespeare in Love by John Madden in 1999, had testified to his strange relationship with the object, saying that it was first of all “stored in the back of the cupboard, because it scares me.“
“I don’t even put it on the fireplace, it scares me.”
It must be said that the reward brings back bad memories for the star. During this period, collaborations between Paltrow and Harvey Wenstein were recurrent, so much so that the latter boasted of being the young woman’s pygmalion. Logically, the founder of Goop does not have a good relationship with the reward, which she inevitably associates with energies that are too negative to bring it into her home.
Added to this is her imposter syndrome, which she mentioned almost immediately when receiving the award.
