In 2014, Gwyneth Paltrow opened up her California home to host a Democratic National Committee fundraiser with Barack Obama as a speaker. According to BuzzFeed News, before handing the mic over to the president, the “Shakespeare in Love” star gushed, “I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest. Paltrow then stumbled over some words and told Obama, “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly.” Hopefully, her comment wasn’t too cringe for her daughter Apple, who is practically her twin, and her son Moses, who was sitting in the audience.
This wasn’t the first time Paltrow supported Obama. Two years prior, in 2012, she co-hosted a grand fundraiser for the POTUS in London to aid him in securing a second term in the White House. The star-studded event included fellow actor Cameron Diaz, along with Anna Wintour and Tom Ford, who hosted alongside Paltrow. While it’s unclear if Obama attended, tickets to the fundraiser cost over $100,000 each, so Paltrow clearly wasn’t the only fan.
