Gwyneth Paltrow's man obsession

Tuesday, 17 June 2008

Gwyneth Paltrow can relate to her role in movie 'Two Lovers' because she was once obsessed with an ex-boyfriend.

The actress - who is now happily married to Coldplay star Chris Martin - plays a woman who is obsessed with a married man in the upcoming picture.

And the 35-year-old reveals she was once besotted with an ex-boyfriend who often disappeared for long periods of time.

She says: "Mmm... yes I have (felt obsessive love). When I was younger I fell in love with someone. He wasn't married, but he was in to drugs. So he wasn't around when I needed him because of that.

"I became quite obsessed with why he didn't turn up when I wanted him to. I was raised by people who love me and I always felt good about myself, but I still got caught up - during that relationship - with thinking that he wasn't there because there was something wrong with me.

"I just couldn't understand why things weren't working out."

Gwyneth Paltrow is now happily married and thinks her husband Chris Martin was a gift sent from heaven by her late father.

The Oscar-winning actress met the Coldplay frontman just weeks after the devastating death of Bruce Paltrow and Gwyneth is convinced her beloved dad had something to do with it.

She told Britain's New! magazine: "My father died and I met my husband three weeks later. So, in a way, it felt like my father was in heaven putting him there in my life, you know?"
