Gwyneth Paltrow is an American in love with places and things that aren't American.
For Paltrow, the grass in greener in other countries.
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Oscar-winning actress says she traveled to Spain as a teenager, fell in love with the country, and embraces the culture to the point that she visits at least once a year and makes sure her young children, Apple and Moses, also speak the language.
"When I was 15, I went to a small town outside Talavera de la Reina and I had the most wonderful experience. It really changed my life," Paltrow said in fluent Spanish during a recent interview.
Paltrow said Spain "became a second home."
"It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it's from 500 B.C., it's incredible," she said.
"Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren't running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don't always have their Blackberries on."
Maybe if Paltrow would get out of the New York/LA bubble, she'd discover that millions of Americans enjoy time with their families and aren't "running around" or always having "their Blackberries on."
True, America is a young country; but we do have a fascinating history.
Freedom.
I wonder if Paltrow calls Apple "Manzana"?
