Gwyneth Paltrow recalls ’90s nightlife before social media: ‘You could do cocaine and not get caught’

Gwyneth Paltrow was living the high life in the ’90s.

During an interview, the “Shakespeare in Love” star got candid about doing illicit drugs during that period while being famous.

“It was great, talk about doing cocaine and not getting caught. You could just be at a bar having fun, dance on the table,” Paltrow said on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”

“There were no camera phones, especially in New York, there were no paparazzi. You could stumble out of a bar and go home with some rando and no one would know.”

She continued to tell the talk show host about her 18-year-old daughter Apple being a freshman in college and her 16-year-old son Moses. Paltrow responded to Corden’s question about which year of motherhood was her favorite.

“I have to say I loved every single stage…and every stage I felt like ‘oh I wish I could freeze time like I’m never going to love them more than this,’ and then you just love them more.”

“So when we are around the dinner table and somebody says to Moses ‘what is it like with your sister not home?’ And he’s like ‘quiet,’” Paltrow emotionally said.
