Gwyneth Paltrow
Monday October 29, 2001

Gwyneth Paltrow makes her "plus size" big screen debut as the hot and heavy girlfriend in "Shallow Hal." “It was so nice to get out of the corset and the accent and all of that and to have some fun,” Paltrow says of her new role.


She’s out of the corset from “Shakespeare in Love” and into the fat suit which took 200 pounds of foam latex and four hours of makeup to transform the blonde beauty. Gwyneth wore the suit to a New York hotel bar where she says people completely ignored her. She says, “I was very upset for all the people in this country and the world who are heavy and feel dismissed and disregarded.”

Gwyneth’s boyfriend is funny man Jack Black in his first leading role. As Hal, he's a totally shallow male trying to score perfect 10s until he gets stuck in an elevator with the giant of self-help gurus Tony Robbins, who hypnotizes him to see only the inner beauty in people.
