Is Gwyneth Paltrow happy about anything? She doesnโt particularly like America, she hates cup-a-soup, and now sheโs not too happy with living in Britain either.
Paltrow says she finds the UKโs streets are dirty, the weather cold and its customer services โrubbishโ in an interview with Marie Claire. The actress once complained that British men never asked her out. She married Chris Martin in 2003.
In the article, Paltrow describes being an expat living across the Pond to her fellow Americans and warns โBring a raincoat, definitely โฆ or at Least a little umbrella that can fit in your bag, because it always does rain.โ She said Martin thought she was โway too obsessed with cleanliness and germsโ.
The star added: โIโm just like โThe street is filthy, could we take off our shoes before we come into the houseโ. In the article, which is not included in the UKโs edition of the magazine, Paltrow admits that after years of finding Britain โcold and depressingโ she has grown to like it.
You would have thought she was describing herself with the โcold and depressingโ comment.
