Paltrow lightens up with 'Hal'

November 4, 2001

BY CINDY PEARLMAN


MARINA DEL RAY, Calif.--Gwyneth Paltrow knows something about shallow
men. Ask her the worst pickup line that anyone ever tried on her and
she just shakes her head.

"A few days ago, I was being chased by the paparazzi,'' she says. ''I
actually pulled over in my car, stomped over to the creep's car and
asked, 'Would you please stop following me?' The guy actually asked me
out on a date!''

Can you blame him? In person, her silky, golden, sun-streaked hair
cascades down her back. She looks stunningly beautiful without one bit
of makeup covering those baby blues.

Of course, Gwyneth Paltrow's worst critic is Gwyneth Paltrow. ''I
recently gained some weight because I'm on this macrobiotic diet,''
Paltrow says and then wails, ''My butt looks so much bigger.''

She's approximately a size zero. She might need an anchor to make it
through a windy day on Michigan Avenue. Much like any normal woman
talking about what she hates about her body, Paltrow twists up her
face. ''Oh, you should see this thing in the New York Post. One of my
friends was 'kind enough' to share with me an item that said I was
getting fat and retaining water from my new diet. It really hurt my
feelings because suddenly if 'Page Six' says you're fat, then everyone
thinks you're fat.''

Funny, but that's the premise of her new movie. In ''Shallow Hal,''
opening Friday, Paltrow plays a 300-pound woman who is the love object
for Hal, played by Jack Black. He only likes model types until
motivational guru Tony Robbins casts a ''spell'' over him and he only
sees someone's inner beauty. He literally sees the Paltrow that we see
while the rest of the world sees a plus-, plus-sized image.

The film required Paltrow to lighten up on screen since it's a
Farrelly brothers comedy. It also did something else for her.

Paltrow signed on for ''Shallow Hal'' to dismiss some of her ice
princess image of the past. ''What do people think of me? Honestly, I
get conflicting reports,'' she muses. ''I do think that sometimes my
image is a bit cold. Maybe because of some of my early films people
think that I'm aloof, but I know I'm not.''

Nothing like a 300-pound fat suit to warm you up. Who can blame
Paltrow for not pulling a DeNiro and going for the carbs. Instead, she
opted to wear padding--but only if the script was right.

''I was concerned when I got the script,'' Paltrow says. ''I told the
Farrelly brothers that I wouldn't do this movie if it had a mean
streak toward overweight people. But it was actually a very sweet
movie.''

Paltrow says the first days she portrayed portly was not pretty.

''Putting on the fat suit was nothing like I thought it would be,''
she confesses. ''I thought it would just be a costume. In reality, I
felt like a totally different person. Suddenly, I had little
self-confidence. I was really nervous all the time.''

Trying the costume out on the streets of New York did not help. ''I
went into the lobby of this hotel called the Tribecca Grand and I
noticed that when I was 300-pound Gwyneth, no one made eye contact
with me. No one even looked in my direction.''

She wanted to explore the film's frank look at body images. She says
the Hollywood social scene is brutal when it comes to weight.

''In real life, I think women are far more evolved than men. We're not
completely concerned with outside appearances. Most men are much more
interested in the visuals.''

That sounds nice, but would she date a John Goodman type? Would she
snuggle with Drew Carey if he were available? ''Jack Black in this
movie is sexy to me. He makes me laugh. I made him sing ridiculous
songs from his band. But again, I think he has tons of sex appeal
because he has a heart of gold.''

Paltrow giggles and adds, ''Beauty is definitely in the eye of the
beholder. I've been attracted to people when no one else saw it. In
fact, once I fell madly in love with someone who was not hunk
material. He was overweight and had bad teeth.''

Obviously, this was not Brad Pitt.

''I was in my 20s,'' she says. ''Anyway, what I saw in this man was
his beautiful eyes and his incredible soul. He also understood me so
well, but we couldn't be together.'' Yes, even Paltrow confesses to
heartbreak. ''He was with someone else and, believe me, it was very
sad for me.''

And since we're on the topic of love and heartbreak, she will cop to
the following:

* Brad Pitt. ''You know I don't talk about him.''

* New boyfriend Luke Wilson. ''We're keeping the personal life
private.''

* But are they getting married as the tabloids keep insisting? ''I
feel like marriage is way off. I'm too busy for marriage and
children.''

Then again, maybe she doth protest too much. ''It's funny because I'm
almost 30. My parents got married when they were 26 and had me when
they were 29. I guess times are different and people put that sort of
thing off now until they're older.''

One of two children (brother Jake is an aspiring director), she grew
up the daughter of famed actress Blythe Danner and director Bruce
Paltrow. As a child, Paltrow begged family friend Steven Spielberg to
cast her in movies, but her parents insisted she wait until she was
older. Summer stock with her mother lead to small movie parts and her
breakthrough in ''Flesh and Bone.''

Paltrow won an Oscar two years ago for ''Shakespeare in Love.'' She
doesn't care about another Oscar, even though her winter film, ''The
Royal Tenenbaums,'' has tons of buzz. She plays Margot, a daughter in
a family of geniuses including Anjelica Huston, Gene Hackman,
Chicago's Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and boyfriend Luke Wilson.

Can she imagine hearing ''And the nominees are ... ''? Again.

Paltrow shakes her head. ''I keep my Oscar tucked away on a bookshelf.
It just weirds me out,'' she says.
