Gwyneth Paltrow fully assumes her role as a mother, offering advice and support as a daughter, Apple Martinis beginning to carve out his own place in Hollywood.
The “Marty Supreme” actress has enjoyed a career spanning over two decades, earning accolades and accolades along the way.
Now, as Apple, whom she shares with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, lands a major film role, Paltrow is ready to pass on the lessons of her own experience.
What Gwyneth Paltrow thinks about her daughter entering Hollywood
During a May 27 appearance on the “Today” show with Savannah Guthrie, Paltrow couldn’t hide her excitement over her daughter’s success. “I’m really proud of her, it’s really exciting,” the 53-year-old exclaimed.
The Oscar winner raved about the film’s impressive cast, noting that Jude Law and Owen Wilson were attached to the project. “It’s amazing,” she said with a smile.
When asked what advice she gave to Apple and her son Moses, who recently signed with Interscope Records, about working in a top industry, Paltrow remained honest.
“It’s hard. It’s a tough road,” the “Marty Supreme” actress admitted. “But it’s worth pursuing if it’s their absolute truth.” She added that she also tells them “not to read anything about themselves.”
Apple, a recent graduate of Vanderbilt University, was announced a few days ago as part of the cast of an upcoming Nancy Meyers comedy.
The project, described as semi-autobiographical, marks the 22-year-old’s first acting role since appearing in an episode of HBO’s “Rooster.” Beyond screen work, she has posed for fashion houses including Chloé and Gap.
Although she once considered going to law school, Martin said earlier this year that she was now following in her mother’s footsteps after initially trying to avoid her in her “rebellious” phase.
At the time, she explained that although she loved music, the idea of performing in front of a crowd made her nervous.
“I love musical theater, but going on stage alone to sing is so terrifying,” she told Vogue in an interview. “I love dancing and I love acting. My dream is to act.”
That dream is now becoming a reality with Meyers’ next film, which the director described on Instagram as “about a group of people making a film and the magic and mystery of what we do.”
Apple Martin sparked romantic speculation
Along with the announcement of her acting debut, Martin recently gained attention online after sharing a photo that fueled rumors about her dating life.
As The Blast reported, the model posted a photo of an unidentified dark-haired man wrapping his arms around her outside what appeared to be a pub.
The image didn’t feature any captions or labels, which immediately prompted fans to speculate about the man’s identity and whether the two were dating.
The rumors intensified after fans noticed that Martin had previously interacted online with his former classmate Andrew Smith. Additionally, a dark-haired man was seen days earlier walking closely behind Martin and his mother during graduation celebrations.
The young star has already shut down bullying allegations
Martin also found herself at the center of rumors claiming she had been kicked out of school for bullying. She quickly denied the accusations and defended her reputation.
As The Blast reported, Martin dismissed the claims as “completely false,” adding that she “has never been kicked out of any school, especially not for bullying anyone.”
While acknowledging that not everyone online will like it, she stressed that the rumor has crossed the line. A source close to the aspiring actress also jumped in to defend her, describing her as a “total girls’ girl,” and the criticism leveled at her was “wrong.”
Gwyneth Paltrow said she was an empty nester
As Apple enters adulthood and continues to play, Paltrow recently reflected on how emotionally she has adjusted to life without her children at home. The Goop founder admitted the transition was harder than expected.
“I really had a hard time when they all left, and then I thought, ‘Okay, it’s okay,'” she said, according to The Blast. “And then in September again, I kind of fell off a cliff for the second time,” she added.
Still, the Goop founder acknowledged that change is ultimately what all parents hope for.
