Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t have great expectations when it comes to her unauthorized biography.
While the Oscar winner initially stayed mum when Amy Odell’s book Gwyneth: The Biography came out in July—the Iron Man actress finally shared her thoughts on the book in one word.
“Boring,” she called it to British Vogue in an interview published on Oct. 15. Of Amy, she added, “She totally missed everything, the truth of who I am, what my impact is.”
And though the Goop founder was making her statements, at the time, before she’d opened the book herself, her husband of seven years Brad Falchuck did the honors, filling Gwyneth in on his thoughts.
“My husband flicked through it, just because I was like: ‘What is in this?’” she explained. “He said, ‘It’s as if somebody put in a prompt in ChatGPT and said: mine every Daily Mail article and write a biography about Gwyneth Paltrow.’”
He reportedly added, “‘It’s just bad. It’s really badly written.’”
Gwyneth, for her part, was disappointed with the way the content of the biography—which she says was written with very little communication with her—was then picked up in the media.
“It was all rubbish,” she added, “the things that I supposedly said.”
As for Amy herself, Gwyneth lamented the fact the other work of her biographer—who also wrote Anna: The Biography about Anna Wintour—didn’t include the likes of Steve Jobs, Leonardo Da Vinci or Albert Einstein, who have all been the subject of famed biographer Walter Isaacson.
“I think it’s very sexist,” she said. “I was like, ‘OK, hang on a sec. Why do the men get Walter Isaacson and I get this hack?’ You know?” (The Vogue interviewer notes that after this comment, they both shared a laugh.)
As for Amy’s claim that Gwyneth invented ghosting—disappearing altogether on a romantic interest, without a word—she conceded, “Oh that is boss. I didn’t know that. OK, I’ll take that.”
E! News has reached out to Amy for comment but has not yet heard back.
In writing her biography, Amy’s book synopsis says she consulted “more than 220 sources, including close current and former friends and colleagues” of Gwyneth to provide insight and “behind-the-scenes details of her relationships, family, friendships, iconic films, and tenure as the CEO of Goop.”
