Gwyneth Paltrow's unconventional use of Oscar Trophy delights fans

Gwyneth Paltrow, the renowned actress and founder of Goop, surprised fans during a recent Vogue interview when she casually revealed that she uses her Oscar award as a doorstop.

The 51-year-old actress, known for her iconic roles in various films, has been open about her past struggles, including an identity crisis phase.

During the interview, which was part of the popular "73 Questions" segment, the camera entered Paltrow's Hamptons house. As the video progressed, it revealed her coveted Oscar trophy placed near the door. The interviewer jokingly remarked, "What a beautiful Academy Award," to which Paltrow responded with a smile, "My doorstop. It works perfectly." Paltrow won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1998 for her role in "Shakespeare in Love."

In a podcast earlier this year, Paltrow discussed the challenges she faced after winning the prestigious award.

She talked about the overwhelming attention and fast-paced career that followed her Oscar win, which led to a period of identity crisis. She questioned what one is expected to do and where to go after achieving such a significant milestone in the entertainment industry. Although she expressed gratitude for the experience, she found the attention disorienting and, at times, unhealthy.

Fans of the award-winning actress applauded her humorous use of the Oscar trophy. Some called her an "undeniable icon" and praised her for being unapologetically herself. They expressed their love for her natural charm and sense of humour, emphasising her status as an icon and a legend in the entertainment world.

The video of the interview quickly garnered attention and received positive feedback from viewers, highlighting Gwyneth Paltrow's enduring appeal and unique personality.
