Ione Sky Revealed The Gwyneth Paltrow Interaction That Left Her Thinking Gwyneth Was "Mean"
Ione Sky is reflecting on a not-so-pleasant interaction with Gwyneth Paltrow. If you're unfamiliar, Ione is a British actor known for movies like Say Anything with John Cusack and Wayne's World. In the '90s, her brother, Donovan Leitch, dated Gwyneth, and in Ione's new book, Say Everything, she reflected on the time she joined the two of them on a trip to Mexico. According to People, Ione places the time after Gwyneth starred in 1994's Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, one of her first acting roles. Ione and her then-husband, Adam Horovitz, went on the trip to escape LA, which had just been rocked by an earthquake. "Vacationing with Dono and his intimidating new girlfriend (yes, that Gwyneth) did not exactly sound relaxing, but anything was more relaxing than living in fear of the next earthquake," Ione wrote. She said it was an enjoyable trip, recalling that Gwyneth spent much of her time reading scripts. Unfortunately, Donovan got sick, and according to Ione, Gwyneth wasn't the most doting towards him. "At breakfast, Dono had distractedly tipped his water glass (he was one of the world's most distracted people). A few drops had splashed Gwyneth, and she'd snapped, 'Idiot.' With a laugh, but still," she said. Ione later asked Donovan, "Is Gwyneth always mean to you like that?" According to her, Donovan laughed it off. "My brother was smitten," she shared. "He was 27 and looking toward the future, to marriage and kids. Gwyneth was only 21 and wasn't ready for anything too serious." "Well, at least not yet," Ione clarified. "Six months later, she'd get a part in Se7en and fly to Reno to meet Brad Pitt — and we all know how that turned out." Yep — Gwyneth and Brad went on to date from 1994 to 1997. They were engaged in 1996, but Gwyneth ended it because she was "not ready" to get married. Today, she's married to TV writer Brad Falchuk and shares two kids, Apple and Moses, with her ex-husband Chris Martin. Meanwhile, Donovan is married to Habit actor Libby Mintz.

Ione Skye Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Was Mean to Her Brother Donovan Leitch — But Doesn't Hold It Against Her (Exclusive)
Actress Ione Skye's memoir Say Everything, out now, continues to reveal fun tidbits from her storied life — including the time she went to Mexico on vacation with Gwyneth Paltrow, who was dating Skye's brother, Donovan Leitch, at the time. In the book, Skye, 54, writes that the decision for her and her then-husband Adam Horovitz to join her brother and Gwyneth, now 52, on vacation happened after an earthquake rattled L.A. "Vacationing with Dono and his intimidating new girlfriend (yes, that Gwyneth) did not exactly sound relaxing, but anything was more relaxing than living in fear of the next earthquake," Skye writes in Say Everything, adding that Paltrow was new to acting at the time and had only starred in one or two films, most recently Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle. She also notes that Paltrow spent the week reading scripts, and while they had fun together, she was surprised at how snappy Paltrow was toward her brother, who spent most of the vacation sick in bed. Skye writes, "At breakfast, Dono had distractedly tipped his water glass (he was one of the world's most distracted people). A few drops had splashed Gwyneth, and she'd snapped, 'Idiot.' With a laugh, but still." Skye says the interaction didn't sit well with her. 'Is Gwyneth always mean to you like that?' Skye recalls asking him. "Dono laughed ... My brother was smitten. He was 27 and looking toward the future, to marriage and kids. Gwyneth was only 21 and wasn't ready for anything too serious. Well, at least not yet. Six months later, she'd get a part in Seven and fly to Reno to meet Brad Pitt — and we all know how that turned out." While Skye writes about her life experiences with abandon in the book, she recently told PEOPLE she was slightly anxious how some people would react to being name-checked.

"I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings." That said, she has no worries about her recollections bothering Paltrow. "She has an awareness of who she is, and I feel like that's one of her superpowers," Skye says of the Goop founder. "She's amazing in that she understands her world, and she always has a good reaction to people coming after her for things she says." Skye also wants to be clear: she isn't dragging Paltrow. "We were what, 21 at the time? We were so young," she says. "At the time, we thought we were so grown-up!" The author adds that she loved writing her life story and can't believe it's finally out in the world after three years in the making. "It's almost like motherhood, in that you know it's going to be a huge experience, but you don't know how big until you get there," she says. "But it's one of my favorite projects I've ever done. And yes, I do care about what others will think. But I also have the feeling that everything will be okay." Say Everything is available now, wherever books are sold.
