Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed on America's TOADY show that she has no regrets over taking a break from acting.

She said a turning point for her was the Oscars backlash she received in 1999.

The 49-year-old won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in Shakespeare In Love but the win was heavily criticised by many people.

Speaking on the television show she explained: ‘I think it was probably around the time of winning the Oscar where you go from people kind of being curious about you or discovering you or rooting for you to it all being upended, and people really wanting to tear you down and take great pleasure in it. Which ends up being a really beautiful lesson in knowing who you are. Loving the people you love. Being totally in integrity. And like f**k everybody else.’

Paltrow’s main focus for the past few years has been her company Goop.

Goop originally started in 2008 as a weekly newsletter that offered new age advice, and expanded to an online business selling health treatments and continued expanding to include a podcast, magazine, and a Netflix docuseries.
