At times, Gwyneth Paltrow [1] has been accused of not being relatable enough [2], but her new spread in Harper's Bazaar [3] is proof that the star puts her underwear on one leg at a time just like we do . . . and then she goes grocery shopping in it, of course. The 44-year-old actress [4] posed for some gorgeous, grocery store-themed photos for the magazine's November Daring Issue, and they make it seem like Gwyneth hasn't aged a bit from her Shakespeare in Love days. Despite the youthful glow she exudes while rocking barely-there looks in shades of black, the GOOP owner [5] fully embraces her age. "If you haven't taken all of life's incredible knocks and disappointments and used them to become a fully integrated, self-expressing person by the time you're 40, then what can I tell you?" she said during the accompanying interview with Full Frontal host Samantha Bee.
In addition to reflecting on her age, the mom to Apple, 12, and Moses, 10 [6], also discussed what it's been like to raise her children — who she shares with ex-husband Chris Martin [7] — in the public eye. "In my case, I've borne these two kids into a particularly strange circumstance. They are going to have to fend off a lot and protect themselves from a lot of projections and prejudice about who they are, coming from the family that they come from," she said. "My daughter is super ballsy. I always follow her lead. I actually don't need to encourage her to take risks. She likes to push herself; she wants to see how far she can get. It's really inspiring to see that in a young woman."
