Gwyneth Paltrow: ‘I Can Be Mean’

Gwyneth Paltrow may be known for her helpful ways with her GOOP newsletter, but the actress says she’s not always sugar and spice and everything nice.

“I can be mean,” she told British Vogue, according to the UK’s Telegraph. “I can cave in to gossip. I can ice people out and I can definitely harbor revenge. In fact, I’m having a situation right now with a friend where I’m feeling pretty angry. But revenge is corrosive and it doesn’t make me feel good.”

She added that giving in to her inner mean-girl leaves her with a hate hangover.

“I’ll wake up in the morning and think, ‘Ugh, I feel terrible’, and suddenly realize, ‘Ah, that’s why. I’m holding on to so much hate,’” she said.

The star seemed a bit snappy when talking about her new business partner, fitness trainer Tracy Anderson, and Tracy’s previous business relationship with Madonna.

“Yeah, it’s good that she doesn’t train Madonna any more. It was too much,” Gwyneth said. “She keeps people waiting – it takes up your whole day.”

Outside of acting, Gwyneth’s own days have been taken up by her GOOP newsletter, which ranges from cooking to meditation to self-help.

“I have this whole other passion, which is home-making,” the “Iron Man 2” star, who’s married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin and has two children, Apple and Moses, told the mag. “I always have, since I was little. As silly as that sounds — it’s not 1955, after all — it’s really important to me, all that stuff, sitting round a table as a family.”
