An 'Oprah-style' talk show starring Gwyneth Paltrow? It's a possibility
Just weeks after launching the first edition of her new magazine goop, Gwyneth Paltrow says she's planning a potential new talk show.
The actress talked with The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of doing a health-centered TV show in an interview published Wednesday.
"What we are thinking of doing is a TV show with the working title The Radical Wellness Show," Paltrow said. "I would be going into the field and talking to any number of doctors, scientists, civilians, people in crisis in Flint, Michigan, where there is something to uncover and confront about wellness. We would want it to feel more Vice-y in its vibe, but we're just in the brainstorming phase."
She added that her team has signed on with Propagate, a content creation company led by executive producer Ben Silverman, for extra help in the planning stages.
And despite the excitement of all she has in the works, Paltrow also shared that running a business as a celebrity has its challenges. One is the fact that it's hard for people she interviews to separate her as a businesswoman from the actress they're familiar with.
"When I interview someone for a position, it takes them a while before I'm not Gwyneth Paltrow," she said. "It's just an obstacle and then it's OK."
But she was quick to add that being a celebrity business owner has its perks, too.
"I don't know many young entrepreneurs who can call [Disney CEO] Bob Iger, [Facebook COO] Sheryl Sandberg or [Airbnb founder] Brian Chesky, and they are kind enough to waste a little bit of their day to help me," Paltrow said. "So in that respect, my celebrity has been a huge asset."
