    Gwyneth Paltrow tries to avoid reviews of her work

    The 53-year-old actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career in the movie business, but she still seeks to avoid reviews of her films.


    Appearing alongside Jennifer Lopez, Emily Blunt, Tessa Thompson, Elle Fanning and Sydney Sweeney for the Los Angeles Times' The Envelope 2025 Oscar Actresses Roundtable, Gwyneth shared: "I try to never read anything about myself. Full stop. Ever. Period."

    Jennifer then replied: "Wait, not anything about yourself? Ever? Period? Because I don't read reviews of my films either, but people will bring it to you it when it's good and you're like, 'Oh, nice.' But there's other things they'll bring you..."

    Gwyneth responded: "Sometimes I'll come upon it."

    Jennifer, 56, then joked: "And you want to die."

    Gwyneth agreed with Jennifer's assessment, adding: "Want to die! Like when someone forwards you a link to something really horrible about yourself, and they're like, 'Oh, this is b*******.' I do try to avoid [that kind of stuff]. I deleted Instagram."

    Meanwhile, Gwyneth previously observed that social media can be "incredibly anxiety-provoking".

    The actress acknowledges that it can be "difficult" to navigate social media platforms.

    The award-winning star - who had more than nine million Instagram followers - told Sky News: "I can't fake it.

    "If I'm going to go on there, I'm going to be myself and I'm going to be honest. That's me, for better or worse. I think I'm a very authentic person, one way or the other. So, you know, that's my style."

    Gwyneth stepped back from the movie business in recent years to focus on Goop, her lifestyle brand. However, she always remained open to returning to the film industry.

    She said: "With my job as CEO at Goop, it takes up all of my time. But who knows? I'm not actively pursuing it. I am very busy with my day job, but I've learned enough not to say never."
