Because she has famous parents, actress Gwyneth Paltrow says she has to work “twice as hard.” According to aceshowbiz.com, the actress stated that while she “unfairly” found her way into showbusiness as the daughter of celebrities, it was difficult to prove herself due to the stigma surrounding nepotism.
“As the child of someone, you get access that other people don’t have,” the 49-year-old star, who is the daughter of late film director Bruce Paltrow and his actress wife Blythe Danner, said.
She continued, saying: “However, I believe that once your foot is in the door, which you gained unfairly, you must work twice as hard and be twice as good. Because people are ready to tear you down and say things like, “You don’t belong there,” or “You’re only there because of your father or mother, or whatever the case may be.””
However, the “Shallow Hall” actress, who has two children with her ex-husband, Apple, 18, and Moses, 16, explained that being the child of someone in the industry should not “limit” someone because no one should have a “negative impact” on anyone else.
“But it shouldn’t limit you,” she told Hailey Baldwin on the ‘Who’s in my Bathroom?’ YouTube series, “because what I definitely believe is that nobody in the world – especially nobody who doesn’t know you – should have a negative impact on your path or the decisions that you make.”
