Gwyneth Paltrow reveals her least favourite film role

No one knows you better than your BFF, especially if you also happen to pay him to be your right-hand man. Such is the relationship between Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow and her assistant Kevin Keating, whom fans have gotten to know quite intimately over the past few weeks thanks to the release of Paltrow’s Netflix series, The Goop Factory. Well as it turns out, not only does Keating know all about Paltrow’s schedules and likes and dislikes, but he’s also privy to her least favourite film role.In a promotional video for The Goop Lab posted to Twitter on February 27, Keating and Paltrow play The BFF Test, where Paltrow asks her bestie of 10 years everything from what he really thinks of “the candle” (“I’ve never smelt a vagina in real life?”), to who is the most important person in her phone (“We’ve got a B… we’ve got an O… Beyoncé, maybe?”).

But things got super interesting when Paltrow asked Keating what her least favourite role is. “I would say that would be Shallow Hallow?” he (almost) correctly guessed, referencing the 2001 film Shallow Hal, in which Paltrow starred with Jack Black. In the Farrelly brothers film, Paltrow dons a fat suit to play a plus-sized woman whom Black’s character falls in love with after being hypnotized into thinking she’s thin. Because, as the moral of the film goes, it’s a person’s inner beauty that counts.[video_embed id='1884335']RELATED: Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘The Goop Lab’ reveals key to female pleasure[/video_embed]The movie totally sounds like something that wouldn’t even get made in today’s Hollywood climate, but it pulled in $141.1 million US back in the day. Still, many critics weren’t sold on the premise and felt that it took cheap shots at fat discrimination (Paltrow’s character breaks a chair at one point in the film, for example). It seems like Paltrow wasn’t exactly down with the movie either.“Mhm. Exactly,” she confirms in the Twitter video of Keating’s guess. “I’m not sure who told you to do that one but it wasn’t me,” he responds. “I wasn’t there working for you. Not around for that.”“That was before your time. See what happened? Disaster,” Paltrow says. To be fair Paltrow did have a few successful film roles before Keating’s time (Emma or her Oscar-winning performance in Shakespeare in Love, perhaps?). But it is kind of sweet that she puts so much faith and stock in the people she works with.It also looks like the feeling is mutual. When Paltrow asked Keating to tell her something thing she wished critics knew about her or about Goop in general, he easily took up the (controversial) cause.“I would say that you’re actually one of the most trustworthy people that I know… and that Goop is just sort of bringing new ideas out there,” he said. “We’re not sort of preaching or anything like that. And if you want to believe it or go with it, or be part of it, join the Goop crowd.”No Coronavirus mask required.[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Golden Retriever puppy is overly-excited to see her owner[/video_embed]
