“You could stumble out and go with some rando”: Gwyneth Paltrow Blames Internet For Not Being Able To Do Drugs And Hooking Up With Strangers
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been a part of Hollywood for a very long time now. The actress recently recalled the simple lifestyle of the 1990s. She explained that life was quite different as there were no cell phones or paparazzi chasing celebrities. The actress recently made an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden and it seems like she primarily misses doing cocaine and not getting caught.
The host of the Goop podcast pointed out that celebrities can’t do that anymore as people have cell phones all the time now and paparazzi always have their eyes on them. Plus, anything posted on the internet goes viral almost instantly.
Gwyneth Paltrow misses the 1990s
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden and recalled that life was quite simple back in the 1990s. The actress explained that celebrities could get away with anything as people did not have cellphones back then and the fewer paparazzi benefitted them a lot. She said,
“It was great. I mean, talk about doing cocaine and not getting caught! Like, you could just be at a bar and be, like, having fun, dance on a table, you could — no camera phones, especially in New York.”
It seems like the actress misses doing drugs as she has expressed her opinion about psychedelic drugs being helpful in the future for treating mental health issues.
The actress misses hooking up with strangers
The Goop host further explained that since there were no paparazzi, it was easier for celebrities to party and hook up with random strangers. She said,
“Interestingly enough, there were no paparazzi. You could stumble out of a bar and go home with some rando and no one would know.”
Celebrities now can’t do all of this due to social media. They are constantly followed by paparazzi and all the movements, and people they’re meeting are covered by the mainstream media. Recently, the actress’ Netflix docuseries, The Goop Lab, faced criticism for offering some unorthodox tips, which are classified as risky by England’s National Health Service chief executive, Simon Stevens.
Gwyneth Paltrow believes drugs are helpful
In the past, Gwyneth Paltrow has explained that psychedelic drugs are very useful for treating mental health issues and will be a big thing in the future. She told New York Times in 2019,
“I think how psychedelics affect health and mental health and addiction will come more into the mainstream, I mean, there’s undeniably some link between being in that state and being connected to some other universal cosmic something.”
The actress has strong views about psychedelic drugs, but it was once revealed that she has never touched psychoactive drugs herself.
