NEW YORK - ‘Iron Man’ star Gwyneth Paltrow has put down her fellow Americans by saying that she loves Spain because people there “don’t always have their BlackBerries on”.
Paltrow, 36, who professed her love for Spain in a recent interview, managed to diss American culture in general and New Yorkers in particular.
“Spain has become a second home,” the New York Daily News quoted her as saying.
“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.
“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,” she added.
Paltrow has lived in Spain briefly as a teen, and is fluent in Spanish. (ANI)
