The protagonist of today's article is a bit special. Gwyneth Paltrow. A woman who was at the top of Hollywood's most hated star list, full of criticism. Also familiar to everyone, Iron Man's other half of the little pepper.
Everyone talks about Gwyneth Paltrow, and everyone is always speechless, from strength to character, they are all reduced to uselessness. She recently had one such news story – During her stay at home, Gwyneth Paltrow had been playing various board and jigsaw puzzles with her family to pass the time. The puzzle she played with her 14-year-old son, Moses, was this: a puzzle of women's breasts of different shapes and skin tones.
Of his son Moses, Gwyneth Paltrow said, "He has the most unique way of seeing the world and expressing himself," and Moses said of his mom, "You're a feminist, an asshole!" In her son's eyes, she is undoubtedly a good mother; she is even a good ex-wife, and her ex-husband Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin is still close to the family; she also has a bunch of well-known friends who seem to be well-liked.
This somewhat obsessed woman, how should we view her?
A few years ago, after topped the list of most hated stars, Vanity Fair asked her in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow: "My first reaction was, I was the most annoying?" More than Chris Brown? What did I do?"
At no. 20 on the list, Chris Brown, who has been sentenced multiple times for domestic violence against Rihanna in 2009 and multiple injuries caused by a nightclub fight in 2012. Apparently, though, people disliked him much less than Gwyneth Paltrow.
People don't like Gwyneth Paltrow, first of all, her origins are Hollywood family, her father is a filmmaker, her mother is a well-known actor, and her godfather is the big director Steven Spielberg. With such a family background, it is naturally easier to enter the industry than others.
In this light, perhaps people are just envious and jealous, but Gwyneth Paltrow insists that he is a self-made man, emphasizing that his father did not support himself after college. Self-effort is inevitable, but blindly denying one's superiority is not real.
The second is her narcissism. The spoiled little princess of the Hollywood royal family, around Gwyneth Paltrow, is mostly such a vision. She is also indeed like a big lady, often has some fan operations, good or bad, right or wrong, you can look at the evaluation by yourself.
He put his 2000 Oscar red carpet dress in a charity auction, raised funds to fight the epidemic, and said he had a deep emotional value for the dress. But her previous assessment of the dress was: "This dress is fine, but it is not suitable for Oscar at all." I wore it that year because I didn't want to be seen."
Very believed in and adhered to their diet and health methods, tried bee venom therapy, injected bee venom into the body to help reduce inflammation and injury, and the level of pain is said to be very high.
She also has some contradictions, such as not allowing her family to eat high-carb and high-calorie foods, but saying that as long as she is not at home, her daughter will order junk food, three or four days a week she will see pizza scraps when she comes home, and even she herself is crazy about fries; saying that she does not eat red meat, but sometimes people need a steak; on the one hand, she bans alcohol and caffeine, but also says that she smokes a cigarette every Saturday night, and sometimes has to drink a glass of red wine.
But what's great is that Gwyneth Paltrow thinks she's being her true self, "If you know me, then you know who I am, I'm happy and enjoy the food, and I'm very grateful for my life." 」
Well, probably that is, all the right to explain belongs to the big lady herself.
Speaking of Gwyneth Paltrow, I have to talk about her love history, because it is really enviable.
Between 1994 and 1997, Gwyneth Paltrow dated Brad Pitt, Hollywood's sexiest groom, for three years, during which time the two were engaged.
The two men bonded over The Seven Deadly Sins, Brad Pitt in his early 30s and Gwyneth Paltrow in his early 20s, coinciding with their youngest and most beautiful years, and they became the most eye-catching and fashionable blonde couple of the time.
In 1995, when Gwyneth Paltrow was going to work on two films with Harvey Weinstein, she was invited by the big guy to do a massage, and she was on the verge of being salty, but she told Pitt in time, and the latter put down the harsh words when he met Weinstein: "If you make her feel uncomfortable again, I will kill you!"
"It's really powerful, and he used his fame and power to protect me when I wasn't yet famous and powerful." He's the best." When recalling the incident on the show two years ago, Gwyneth Paltrow said.
Brad Pitt later responded: "That's how we Ozarks boys do things, and I just want to make sure that nothing happens next because she's going to be working on more than one film with Weinstein."
The love fairy tale of the domineering president + princess seems to be right, but it is still over, Gwyneth Paltrow said that he screwed up, in fact, what is the reason, we have no way of knowing.
Ending his relationship with the brightest male star, Gwyneth Paltrow went on a date with Ben Affleck, and the two collaborated on "It's You". At that time, Ben Affleck won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Mindcatcher", and he was also right with Gwyneth Paltrow.
But in 2000, the two broke up, and Gwyneth Paltrow said it was because their values were not compatible and they were friends after the breakup. A few years ago, Ben Affleck also said that the two people still have contact.
In 2002, Gwyneth Paltrow met Coldplay's handsome lead singer Chris Martin, when her favorite father died of cancer, and the intimate Chris Martin wrote a song to comfort her, that is, the famous song "Fix You". A year later, the two were married. For a long time, they were model couples in the eyes of outsiders.
It wasn't until 2011 that some people familiar with the matter began to publish scandals about the couple, such as witnessing Chris Martin and Kate Bosworth kissing and flirting with girls backstage on Saturday Night Live. Gwyneth Paltrow is even more serious, and she is said to have been associated with a number of men, from the famous Hollywood lawyer Kevin Yorn to the wealthy businessman Jeff Soffer, and the most shocking thing is her kissing photo with Donovan Leitch, which once made public, confirmed the infidelity rumors.
But they all firmly denied the scandal, and Gwyneth Paltrow accused it of being ridiculous, because the kissing photo showed himself and Martin's daughter and son sitting next to each other, just kissing each other, just looking like kisses at a special angle.
We cannot judge whether private life is true or false. But the couple, though separated in 2014, separated in a way that was also divine, with some media outlets calling it the most civilized breakup ever made: they issued a joint statement expressing regret over the marriage, and the family was on vacation on an island in the Bahamas when the two were shocked by their separation. Chris Martin also gave Gwyneth Paltrow a special parting gift, a bird in flight painted by Mila Fürstová, marking a new stage of freedom in their lives.
This unusualness continues to this day – it is well known that her ex-husband Chris Martin, after dating "Fifty Shades of Grey" heroine Dakota Johnson, also had a holiday party with Gwyneth Paltrow and her current husband; Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are said to have broken up with Gwyneth Paltrow in the middle.
It's also unusual for Gwyneth Paltrow and her current husband, producer Brad Falchuk, to marry in 2018, but didn't move in together until a year after they were married. Gwyneth Paltrow believes that on the one hand, both people have children and need to consider the acceptance of children before moving together, and on the other hand, she believes that this helps to preserve the mystery and is also "the idea of a person who wants to keep his own life". Whether it is a real idea or another reason, in short, this practice is quite in line with modern life.
Finally, let's talk about the luckiest actress in the mouths of netizens.
Is she a powerful person with excellent acting skills? Not really.
But that's not to say she's not strong. In addition to Marvel's little pepper, her representative role is actually quite a lot. 1996's "Emma" can be regarded as Gwyneth Paltrow's famous work, and this role also fits herself: they are all very self-made big misses. Elegant and noble, playful and lively, intelligent, but also a little mean, obviously the American Gwyneth Paltrow speaks British English, and it is natural to integrate into Jane Austen's character.
1998 was the year Gwyneth Paltrow dominated the screen. First " Two-Faced Lover" was released, the film is interesting in telling the two fates of the same girl: she catches the subway, finds her boyfriend cheating, and restarts her life after breaking up; she did not catch the subway, was kept in the dark by her boyfriend, and continued to be a little girl. Two images, two temperamental feelings, the difference Gwyneth Paltrow of the same character is well represented.
Immediately after the release of "Super Perfect Murder", she wanders between two men, both the rich young and beautiful wife and the lover of the poor painter. Not only is the role loved and hated, but her dress in the film has also become a major attraction, both the exquisite dress of the upper class dinner party and the capable casualness of a professional woman.
Finally, "Shakespeare's Love History", which was released at the end of the year, let her win the Oscar in one fell swoop, and also caused countless scoldings. With Weinstein as the pusher, and after a full year of brushing his face, the little golden man finally fell into the hands of Gwyneth Paltrow.
She was joined by Cate Blanchett of Elizabeth, Emily Watson of She Is Lonelier Than Fireworks, Meryl Streep of "Aunt May" of Priceless Affection, and Fernanda Montenegro of Grand Central Terminal. On acting, the above four people are not under Gwyneth Paltrow, but an Australian, an Englishman, a Brazilian, first of all, there is no local advantage, they are all Hollywood faces (Kate Blanchett just went to Hollywood to develop at that time), and Aunt May's "Family Affection Priceless" work is not hot enough, nor is it the subject of the college's preference, just running. As a result, Gwyneth Paltrow became the winner.
It can be said that this is not an award won by strength. There are elements of luck, but the luckiest are exaggerated. Let's not talk about the previous Oscars, even if you just look at the candidates for more than a decade, you will find some very controversial winners. It's a complex industry game, and not everyone can dominate like Renée Zellweger of Judy or Gary Oldman of The Darkest Hour.
Along with this award, there was another thing - the role belonged to her good girlfriend, Winona Ryder, who Gwyneth Paltrow snatched the role away by chance after seeing the script. In an interview, Gwyneth Paltrow said, "It's become an urban legend, and I swear to God I didn't." Of course, this is just Gwyneth Paltrow's statement, and I am afraid that only the parties concerned know what the facts are.
Having said all that, you don't have to like Gwyneth Paltrow, but you don't have to listen to all the rumors. The perfection we see is not necessarily real, and the truth we know is not necessarily simple.
The scary thing about celebrity culture is that people follow the trend of worshiping or hating celebrities, or praising or stepping on them, black and white.
Letting a seemingly towering public figure step off the altar and be besieged is a very common act of theater watching, and people usually do not feel guilty.
But as a woman, Gwyneth Paltrow lives such and such a self, there are parts that are difficult to accept, there are also places that are convincing, do we have to characterize her with a judgmental gaze?
When you like a person, you can easily bias yourself toward what she does; when you hate someone, you can also favor statements that are not good for her. So Gwyneth Paltrow's unpopularity made her the target of public criticism.
But at best, she was an unlikable and imperfect woman.
