Hollywood darling Gwyneth Paltrow, currently single and searching for love, has complained that British men just don’t play the dating game the way she’s used to.
The 29-year-old actress, who has a home in London and was there to perform on stage in Proof, says: “British people don’t seem to ask each other out on dates. If someone asks you out they’re really going out on a limb, whereas in America, it happens all the time. It’s no big deal and no weight should be attached to it. It’s only dinner, for God’s sake.”
Gwyneth, previously attached to Hollywood heart-throbs Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck, admits she was asked out “a couple of times” when last in London, and she accepted with pleasure. One of her “very charming” dates was actor James Purefoy, who starred in A Knight’s Tale, she told Now magazine.
Taking her mind off the reticence of British men, however, is her upcoming film, The Passion, in which she will be offering her fans a lesbian love scene for a change. “The love scene is great and will be quite a challenge,” she says.
