Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she was attracted to anti-vax presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy’s campaign this year as she admitted that ‘it was very interesting to hear his point of view.’
The actress and CEO of lifestyle brand Goop, 49, waded into the 2024 race in a wide-ranging profile with the New York Times, where she branded herself ‘open-minded about everybody.’
Paltrow quickly dialed back her support for the controversial conspiracy theorist as she continued that ‘he’s said some things that I think are tricky, let’s put it that way.’
The profile, which noted her support for former Republican Rick Caruso in the LA Mayors race, added that Paltrow’s representative chimed in on her political beliefs to insist that she is more of an ‘independent thinker.’

Paltrow gave a glimpse into her life in the months after her high-profile trial over a 2016 skiing accident in Utah that injured retired optometrist Terry Sanderson.
The star fought back against her ‘out-of-touch’ reputation that has grown in recent years about her luxury lifestyle, such as when she said she ‘went totally off the rails’ in the pandemic and ‘ate bread’.
She was again roundly mocked in March after sharing her ‘daily wellness routine’ that leaned on fasting and bone broth, raising eyebrows given her apparent dedication to health and wellness.
But Paltrow put on a more carefree foodie front in her latest interview, where she insisted that: ‘I think a European croissant is a superfood, by the way.’
‘About the bone broth? Oh my god,’ she said as she admitted she didn’t expect the furor over her eating habits earlier in the year.
‘Was I aware? Apple was like, ‘Mom you’re on TikTok,’ she added, while insisting she eats three meals a day that included a peanut butter smoothie and a chopped Italian chicken salad on the day of her interview.
She also offered a tour of her upmarket mansion in Amagansett, New York, which is decked out with top-of-the-range security measures including a guard dog and a room of CCTV cameras.
For those who can get inside, however, fitness fanatic remarked that there is a digital scale in her guest house – which is also decked out with an array of luxury amenities.
Striking images of her clean white guest house show it featuring a basketball court, swimming pool and winding staircases.

If Paltrow’s guest house isn’t your style, she detailed how her wellness platform Goop expanded from a simple newsletter into a 170-person business that now includes real estate offerings.
The range of amenities on offer includes a two-bedroom Goop-dedicated villa to stay at the Colony Hotel in Florida.
According to the outlet, her Goop obsession will see the getaway also include Goop products in the bathrooms and decorated with Goop x Fromental wallpaper, a $2,500 limited-edition crystal vase, and products like Goopglow Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator.
But Paltrow recognized her reputation for offering bizarre products in the past, which included vagina-scented candles.
‘If history has shown me anything, it’s that I’m always looking back, going, ‘Wow, that was an interesting thing to experiment with,’ she admitted.
One of her most successful recent experiments was displaying her neutral-color themed Goop clothing line in court when she squared off with Sanderson in March.
She adorned Goop’s G. Label clothing line as she testified over her innocence in a crash with the optometrist, and her victory in the trial was not her only win as the brand received widespread free advertising on social media due to people fervently following her outfits every day.

But Paltrow brushed off the mania this week as she said she was ‘just getting dressed and going to a pretty intense experience every day.’
‘And the sartorial outcome was so weird to me. That whole thing was pretty weird,’ she continued.
‘I don’t know that I’ve even processed it. It was something I felt like I survived. Sometimes in my life it takes me a long time to look back and process something and understand something.’
While appearing in a slew of Marvel movies over the last decade, Paltrow has taken a noticeable step back from Hollywood, a move that she says has given her more control over her business and her life.
‘I’ve thought about it in terms of my lived experience of being an actor who was told to be here at this time, to wear that and to stand there and to do it again,’ she said.
‘So, you never feel on a movie set that you have power. It was hard for me to do what I’m told, but I also never had any desire to be a director or be behind the scenes in that industry at all. I feel like I was always tugging a little at the constraints of it.’
