Gwyneth Paltrow thought Brad Pitt wasn't 'sophisticated enough' for her Hollywood tastes: book
Gwyneth Paltrow believed she was "smarter, better educated, more sophisticated" than Brad Pitt, according to a new biography. In an excerpt of "Gwyneth: The Biography," which was obtained by People, author Amy Odell detailed the early stages of the former couple's relationship and wrote about Paltrow's alleged concerns about Pitt. The pair met in 1993 during an audition for "Legends of the Fall." Paltrow didn't land the role, but later Pitt suggested her for the role opposite of him in the movie "Se7en." At the time, Paltrow was also offered a role in "Feeling Minnesota," which starred Keanu Reeves. "She consulted with a friend, who said, 'Well, who do you want to date, Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves?' Gwyneth chose 'Se7en' and Pitt, and Cameron Diaz took the 'Feeling Minnesota' part," Odell wrote. Paltrow and Pitt dated for two years before they got engaged in 1996. "Her dad [Bruce Paltrow] loved Brad. Her friends loved Brad. They thought he was the nicest guy," Odell wrote. According to the author, Paltrow had doubts about her relationship with Pitt early on. "Gwyneth expressed doubts to a crew member [while making the 1996 film 'Emma'] that Pitt was right for her, and admitted she had a crush on Hugh Grant," Odell wrote. She continued, "He was brought up very religious, in Missouri. It's just a very different world from hers, growing up in Manhattan, going to Spence, I think she thought he wasn't sophisticated enough for her. She thought she was smarter, better educated, more sophisticated." The book also references an interview Paltrow previously gave on her relationship with Pitt. "Brad and I have very different upbringings. So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad 'This is beluga and this is osetra,'" Paltrow said, per People. Pitt and Paltrow eventually called it quits in 1997. Representatives for Pitt and Paltrow did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Gwyneth Paltrow's secret crush on British heartthrob while dating Brad Pitt exposed in bombshell new biography
Gwyneth Paltrow had eyes for a famous British actor while she was in the midst of her romance with Brad Pitt, according to a new biography. The bombshell revelation comes from Gwyneth: The Biography by Amy Odell, which peels back the curtain on the Oscar winner's most private moments. While filming Emma in 1996, Paltrow reportedly confided to a crew member that she wasn't sure about Pitt and 'admitted that she had a crush on Hugh Grant,' per excerpts from People. At the time, she and Pitt were Hollywood's golden couple, making the confession all the more unexpected. Meanwhile, Grant was still in a relationship with Elizabeth Hurley, despite his widely publicized scandal involving a sex worker in 1995. After Emma was released, Gwyneth found herself confiding in her close friend, makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin, breaking down in tears several times over her troubled relationship with Pitt, per Odell. Though he wanted to stay with her, Pitt reportedly felt overshadowed by her success and the spotlight she was attracting. Aucoin didn't sugarcoat it—his advice was clear and direct, reportedly telling Paltrow, 'You really need to end this.' Gwyneth and Brad never publicly explained the exact reason for their 1997 breakup. However, Odell's sources recalled rumors that it might have been linked to Gwyneth's alleged fling with her Sliding John Hannah. Reflecting on the split in a 2015 interview with Howard Stern, she admitted, 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.' Shortly after, she began dating Ben Affleck in late 1997. Their rocky relationship, per Odell, lasted until around 2000 amid intense media attention. In 2002, she found love with Coldplay's Chris Martin, marrying him and having two children before their amicable 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014. Even after their separation, Gwyneth and Chris maintained a supportive co-parenting relationship for kids Apple, 21, and Moses, 19. Since 2015, she has been in a steady relationship with TV producer Brad Falchuk. The couple married in 2018, marking a new chapter in her love life. Meanwhile, Gwyneth is making her acting comeback opposite Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme, set to debut this December 25.
