Gwyneth Paltrow moves to UK for kid's education
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors, Day Care & Education
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has taken a lot of heat for disparaging remarks she has made in the past about Americans. For example, the Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias quoted her as saying, "The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans." She not only denies making that statement, she says she never even spoke with the paper. She does admit to giving a press conference in Spain where she says she may have mangled her Spanish and been misunderstood.
If that were the only case of her dumping on Americans, I could give her the benefit of the doubt. But she's been quoted all over the place unfavorably comparing Americans to Brits. In response to the criticisms of her remarks, she has claimed that she is proud to be an American.
So, why is she selling her New York home and buying another in London? Because, according to the Daily Mail, she wants to educate her children, Apple and Moses, in British schools.
It is certainly prerogative to raise her children wherever and however she pleases, but because of her previous comments, I suspect she is going to be roundly criticized for it.

Anji said...Firstly - the Daily Mail should NEVER be considered a reputable source of information. It is a sensationalist, overbiased Nazi rag. Nothing more, nothing less.
Secondly... "The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans." Of course we are. We're much more intelligent and civilised than *everyone*! ;o)

SKL said...Who listens to what entertainers "think" anyway? I wish more of them would move to London.
And not to "pick" on an innocent child, but someone who names their kid "Apple" is not qualified to discern who is intelligent and who isn't.

Amy said...I wasn't going to comment on this, but when I saw SKL's comment I had to. That's very funny, and true. But I don't blame her for wanting to get out of this country. There is alot of things wrong here, and she's in a position to pack up and go wherever she wants. More power to her.
