Paltrow has been open in the past about how much she hates watching herself on screen. It seems nothing has changed because she said, “I also, really hate, hate, hate seeing myself in a movie ever.” That is for the exception of one scene that has a special connection to her father. On Monday she recalled receiving a visit from her father, and late producer and director Bruce Paltrow, while making the 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.
