Sherry Lansing Leadership Award recipient Gwyneth Paltrow sat down with THR on the set of her cover shoot in Montecito, California. She discussed everything from her best beauty hacks, what she thinks is the most overrated luxury to why Lansing inspires her and what it means to be a leader ahead of THR's Women in Entertainment gala.
00:00The best part of getting older is really that, you know, I'll speak for myself.
00:05I've come to really know and understand myself and I think, like, truly accept myself and all the parts of myself.
00:12Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow and I'm with The Hollywood Reporter.
00:15My favorite guilty pleasure? It's probably, like, fried food. That would probably be it.
00:32Probably airport lounges would be my overrated luxury. Like, they're just not that great.
00:39Let's just, you know, I'll be together on the regular part. It's not worth it.
00:42My biggest pet peeve is when people are not on time.
00:48I'm a stickler for time. I'm always on time unless there's, like, some major thing happening.
00:54And when people are sort of casual about being late, that's a real pet peeve of mine.
00:59Probably, honestly, the best beauty hack is we at Goop make these eye masks, these pads.
01:06And I put them on every morning and put them on on the airplane and they just brighten your eyes and de-puff and make you look like you've slept for nine hours.
01:15The best part of getting older is really that, you know, I'll speak for myself.
01:29I've come to really know and understand myself and I think, like, truly accept myself and all the parts of myself.
01:36And so I think that's brought me an incredible strength and also a perspective, you know, it's like the highs maybe don't get as high as you're older, but the lows definitely don't get as low either.
01:50So life is just more, a little bit more even and you know what to expect.
01:55For me, the best part about making movies is being a part of a team like that when you really respect the other artists and you're kind of in awe of people's talent, like, in real time.
02:09That's the best part.
02:11The worst part is definitely the waiting, the sitting in the trailer time.
02:15That's, luckily, I run a business on the side, so I'm never bored.
02:19But, man, that waiting around can be really tough.
02:25Well, it depends on the scene.
02:31So, if I have to be emotional in a scene, then I'm, I have, I usually listen to Sieger Ross and that's a, that's a very immediate transportation to somewhere very emotional.
02:46And if it's a happy scene, maybe, you know, something a bit more optimistic.
02:51There are so many people in Hollywood that I consider a role model, but today I really have to say Sherry Lansing because I've admired her.
03:01I've known her for so many years, decades, and I always looked up to her so much as this incredibly intelligent, powerful woman who was running a studio.
03:13Leadership is such an opportunity.
03:15It's, it's an incredible opportunity to really discover who you are.
03:20And you can really kind of think about, okay, who is it that I want to be as a leader?
