Gwyneth Paltrow revealed in an interview with Marie Claire UK that her dad, director Bruce Paltrow, once called her out for “becoming an asshole.” 

“I was just believing my own hype, thinking that I was super awesome,” she said of her early days in Hollywood. “And he was like, ‘You’re getting weird — you’re acting like a dick.’”

At the time, she was about 27. “When you achieve the kind of fame that I did by the time I was 25 or 26, the world starts removing all your obstacles because you’re now a ‘special person.’” She explained, “You don’t have to wait in line at a restaurant, and if a car doesn’t show up, someone else gives you theirs.”

“There is nothing worse for the growth of a human being than not having obstacles and disappointments, and things go wrong,” she said. “All of my greatest achievements have come out of failure.”
