Lately it seems actors have been more loose-lipped about colleagues who have rubbed them the wrong way. And though Dune star Rebecca Ferguson never named the co-star who set her off earlier this year—while Sarah Paulson certainly didn’t mind naming and shaming—this week it’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s turn in the hot seat.
Gavin & Stacey actress Ruth Jones recently recalled the “heartbreaking” interaction she had with Paltrow on the set of Emma, revealing that Paltrow treated her like “nothing.” Speaking on the latest episode of the Brydon & podcast, Jones told host Rob Brydon that she remembers her job on the 1996 film for “several reasons.”
“It was the first film I’d done,” she began. “I had two lines. It was something like I had to open the door. I had to announce Gwyneth Paltrow and say, ‘Miss Woodhouse is here,’ and then I had to say, ‘Goodbye, Miss Woodhouse’ at the exit and let her out.”
