Gwyneth Paltrow
With two kids, Paltrow planned on abandoning acting for an extended period of time. It has been three years since her last film, Spoof, and she confesses that it took a film like Iron Man to bring her back from self-induced hiatus. If you are a professional nanny, now may be the time to submit your application.
Paltrow Back for Iron Man
Gwyneth Paltrow recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly at the Sundance Film Festival to discuss loads of topics including Iron Man.
Seems like you're taking on more projects than you have in the past.
Well, I hadn't worked in a long time, I was really committed to being home. Then I finally just agreed to do this movie Iron Man. I reached a place in my life where I thought, ''It's okay that I have a passion for something besides my family.'' I love making films. If I do one thing that makes me fulfilled, then I'm a more interesting woman for my children. And then I got this call, and I thought, I love Jon Favreau [who's directing Iron Man]. And the cast was so good. This feels right to me.
So why Iron Man?
You know why? Because of the people involved. It had nothing to do with the size of the budget. It was like, if I got a call that there's a six-million-dollar movie, and these are the people, I'd do it. I've always wanted to work with Robert Downey Jr. He's a genius, and I had never been asked to do a film with him before. I'm really excited that it's Iron Man because I've never done anything like it. I'm really thrilled.
Check out the entire interview with Gwyneth Paltrow over at EW.
Iron Man opens to theatres May 2, 2008. Paltrow said that she will begin filming this March.
