We met Gwyneth Paltrow in David Fincher's thriller 'Seven' (1995), where she fell in love with Brad Pitt and with whom she formed one of the most admired couples for three years. She later won an Oscar, a Golden Globe and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, all for "Shakespeare in Love" (1998). Since then, the actress has made more than 30 films, the latest in the 'Iron Man' and 'The Avengers' sagas.
What really happened between Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt?
The notoriety that Goop has acquired in recent weeks for his jump to Netflix has coincided with the reunion of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, which has once again aroused curiosity to know the real reason for his break with the actor from 'Once upon a time time in Hollywood. '
A few days ago, a fashion influencer shared on Instagram a magazine image with three photographs of Brad Pitt with his ex-partners - Gwynet Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. The headline for the story was: "Brad: The Man Who Likes To Look Like His Girlfriends." The actor's first girlfriend did not hesitate to answer: "Or maybe we like to look like him." A comment widely shared on the networks that hinted at the good relationship that still seems to exist between them. Still, fans keep wondering why they quit.
Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow met in 1994, playing husband and wife in 'Seven', he was 31 years old and she was 22:
The actress then said that it was "love at second sight", since she initially confused flirting with friendship.
The couple later proclaimed their love to the four winds. "I'm really in love for the first time in my life ... and I don't care if my former boyfriends read this," she said.
"All I can tell you is that I've never been happier," Brad added at the time: "My girl has class." The actor also conquered Gwyneth's father, and "not because he was already a superstar then, but because he was really in love with her," sources close to the couple told US Magazine.
The turning point would come after two years of dating, when Brad Pitt proposed to Gwyneth Paltrow to take another step in their relationship and was met with a refusal.
The problem, the actress later explained, is that she panicked, fearing she was too young (25 years old) for an engagement.
"I think she was a girl and I wasn't ready for it," Paltrow said in 2015 during her visit to The Howard Stern Show. "I honestly think she was too young and didn't know what she was doing."
“I was 22 years old when we met and I had to reach 40 years to realize what was happening then. I don't think you can make an important decision when you are that age ”.
The actress admitted however that their relationship "was not healthy" and that certain things happened between the two that made her "hate" herself. Then rumors arose of an alleged infidelity of her with her partner in the movie 'Two lives in a moment ', John Hannah.
Paltrow ignored the speculation, but she did hold herself and "internal conflicts" responsible for the separation from her. "Things happened that made Brad feel like Gwyneth wasn't ready to get married," opined a source close to.
The separation affected the actress a lot. She was so distraught that she didn't want to work and she almost lost her Oscar-winning role of hers in "Shakespeare In Love." "It really changed my life. When we parted, something permanently changed in me. My heart broke that day, and it will never be the same," she told Vanity Fair. Perhaps it was this traumatic breakup that years later inspired the term “conscious separation” for Goop.
Brad Pitt met Jennifer Aniston within a year of breaking up with Gwyneth Paltrow. She this, for her part, she had a relationship with Ben Affleck prior to her first marriage to Coldplay singer Chris Martin, with whom she has two children, Apple (15 years) and Moses (13). A year and a half ago she remarried "Glee" producer Brad Falchuck.
When Brad Pitt took on Weinstein over Paltrow: "I'll kill you."
On the other hand, Gwyneth Paltrow recently related the episode lived with Harvey Weinstein at the beginning of her courtship with Brad Pitt. She told The New York Times that the producer tried to sexually abuse her before shooting the movie "Emma." "I was a girl, I was petrified." She told his partner, Pitt, and he confronted the producer. "If you ever make her uncomfortable again, I'll kill you," he told her. "At the time, I was just a kid from the Ozarks (Missouri) on the playground and that's how we dealt with things," Brad Pitt later downplayed, speaking to CNN. "I just wanted to make sure nothing else would happen to him because he was going to do two more movies with Weinstein."
His controversial Netflix show, 'The Goop Lab'
But now it is not news for her film career, which she seems to have parked. Everyone talks about Gwyneth Paltrow because of her entrepreneurial side at the helm of Goop, her wellness brand to which Netflix dedicates the documentary ‘The Goop Lab’ since this Friday. It is the second project of the actress for this platform after the series 'The Politician'.
Almost overnight, Gwyneth Paltrow has gone from being one of many listed Hollywood actresses to becoming the most controversial guru of the moment for the questioned products that she prescribes on her website. From psychedelia, cold therapy, healing energy or psychic mediums to the unusual candles with "the smell of her vagina", a name that she later revealed that she came up with while she was "drugged".
Her father, the origin of "goopmania"
Where does this obsession with alternative therapies come from for Gwyneth Paltrow? The origin of Goop, which she defines as a "modern way of life", is in a weekly blog that the actress wrote from her kitchen, where she gave free rein to her interest in healthy eating. A passion that became an obsession, and then a business, and in which her father played a fundamental role, as she revealed a few days ago in a video for Harper's Bazaar:
"My father was the one who got me into this food thing; he was an extreme foodie, a great foodie," she said. Bruce Paltrow was a television writer, producer and director who died in 2002, aged 58, from complications from pneumonia and throat cancer. He passed away while on a trip to Italy with his daughter Gwyneth to celebrate her 30th birthday, on September 25. The event marked the actress's anniversary for many years, until she decided to marry her current husband, producer Brad Falchuck, two days later (on September 27, 2018), thus canceling the sadness that invaded her those days.
The actress says that her father's interest in everything related to food began when she "started working and having money to explore new places and culinary adventures in fancy restaurants that she could not afford before."
Paltrow explains that a love of healthy food is something that she and her younger brother, Jake, learned from their father. It was precisely he who inspired his first and successful cookery recipe book, 'La hija de mi padre' (2011), which was later followed by five other books, including one for celiacs.
It was in the wake of the death of her father that Gwyneth Paltrow began to follow a diet free of processed foods with vegetables that she grows herself. In 2013 she started practicing transcendental meditation. And over the years, she has been incorporating in her company, her Goop, all kinds of pseudoscientific advice such as 'conscious uncoupling' (conscious or friendly separation). A term coined when she divorced Chris Martin (Coldplay), in 2014, that not even the actress's mother, Blythe Danner, said they would buy.
der.
Gwyneth Paltrow's products will be controversial or incomprehensible, but no one can deny the actress who cares about 'marketing'.
