Gwyneth Paltrow Offered Role in Exchange for Sex
Accomplished Hollywood Actress Talks About Past
Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who now boasts an amazing movie resume, didn't always have it so easy. During a recent interview for Elle magazine, the 38-year-old Los Angeles native talked about an indecent proposal that she was once offered during her early years as an actress. "When I started out, someone suggested that we finish a meeting in the bedroom," Paltrow told Elle. "I left. I was pretty
shocked. I could see how someone who didn't know better might worry, 'My
career will be ruined if I don't give this guy a blow job!'"
Paltrow is well-known for being a versatile actress. She has played a variety of different roles in such movies as Iron Man, Se7en, Great Expectations, Shakespeare in Love (for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress), The Talented Mr. Ripley, and The Royal Tenenbaums. But, now as she approaches the 40 year mark, Paltrow is starting to feel "dejected" about her place in the youth-centered world of Hollywood. "There's a lot [of roles that are] okay, but there's little that's really
good, especially for someone my age," Paltrow said during the interview. "Sometimes you find out
that something you really liked is going to someone 10 years younger."
