Gwyneth Paltrow Confirms Shocking Bill Clinton and Emma Rumor
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Rise to Fame
It’s not surprising that Bill Clinton fell asleep through “Emma,” a comedic period piece. The former president is a big fan of classic cerebral films like “High Noon” and “Casablanca,” so it makes sense that “Emma” wasn’t exactly his cup of tea. The film wasn’t a major awards contender that season, but it helped boost Gwyneth Paltrow’s clout. Shortly after, she would land the leading role in “Shakespeare in Love,” which emerged as a box office phenomenon in 1998. For her performance as the charming Viola De Lesseps, Paltrow received the Oscar for best actress. The former president’s wife, Hilary Clinton, seemingly loved “Shakespeare in Love,” as she congratulated the film’s now-maligned producer Harvey Weinstein during a premiere event.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Career Evolution
While Clinton would wrap up his second term as president in 2001, Paltrow’s star would only grow. That year, she starred in the Jack Black comedy “Shallow Hal” — a role she regrets taking — and Wes Anderson’s “The Royal Tenenbaums.” The star’s other early career standouts include “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “View from the Top.” Things would eventually change when she nabbed the role of Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing in the “Iron Man” trilogy and a handful of other projects.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s Transition
The star has since stepped back from the big screen, with Paltrow stating she has no regrets about leaving acting to focus on Goop, her lifestyle brand. However, Paltrow did say that one Marvel star could convince her to return.
