Here's Gwyneth Paltrow's Least Favorite Movie She's Ever Done

Posted by Noelle Montes on Sunday, May 5, 2024

Back in 2001, Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned in a W magazine story (via ABC News) that she felt humiliated by the fat suit she wore in Shallow Hal. "The first day I tried [the fat suit] on, I was in the Tribeca Grand [hotel in New York City] and I walked through the lobby. It was so sad; it was so disturbing. No one would make eye contact with me because I was obese," she said. The suit Paltrow wore weighed 25 pounds, according to the article, but made Paltrow appear about triple her size.

Shallow Hal garnered mixed reviews. Some viewers enjoyed it, while outlets like Rolling Stone said the directors, Bobby and Peter Farrelly, should be embarrassed by their crudeness in the film. The movie currently has a 50% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, but Paltrow doesn't seem to be budging on her disdain for it.

But at least Paltrow knows she was in Shallow Hal, which is more than she can say for some of other movies. The actress has forgotten a couple of her Marvel appearances and openly admitted to not seeing the finished films. She told Elle in 2019, "It is confusing because there are so many Marvel movies, and to be honest, I haven't seen very many of them. It's really stupid and I'm sorry, but I'm a 47-year-old mother."

So, what's worse — hating a movie or not even remembering it?
