Gwyneth Paltrow thought Brad Pitt wasn't 'sophisticated enough' for her Hollywood tastes: book

Gwyneth Paltrow's new biography reveals she felt "smarter, better educated, more sophisticated" than Brad Pitt during their relationship in the mid-1990s before their engagement ended.


Gwyneth Paltrow thought Brad Pitt wasn't 'sophisticated enough' for her Hollywood tastes: book

The pair met in 1993 during an audition for "Legends of the Fall." Paltrow didn't land the role, but later Pitt suggested her for the role opposite of him in the movie "Se7en." At the time, Paltrow was also offered a role in "Feeling Minnesota," which starred Keanu Reeves.

Paltrow and Pitt dated for two years before they got engaged in 1996.

"Her dad [Bruce Paltrow] loved Brad. Her friends loved Brad. They thought he was the nicest guy," Odell wrote.

According to the author, Paltrow had doubts about her relationship with Pitt early on.

She continued, "He was brought up very religious, in Missouri. It's just a very different world from hers, growing up in Manhattan, going to Spence, I think she thought he wasn't sophisticated enough for her. She thought she was smarter, better educated, more sophisticated."

The book also references an interview Paltrow previously gave on her relationship with Pitt.

Pitt and Paltrow eventually called it quits in 1997. 

Representatives for Pitt and Paltrow did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
