Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth Paltrow chats to Andrew about juggling movies and motherhood

20/03/09 - Gwyneth Paltrow revealed on GMTV she feels 'mother guilt' when her Hollywood career affects her children

Talking to GMTV's Andrew Castle, the actress admitted moving to America to film Iron Man 2 will be tough.

On leaving London for L.A, Gwyneth said: "That's hard, and I feel – I'm feeling mother guilt because my daughter's looking forward to going, but my son always says, 'I don't want to leave my London house' - and I feel pretty guilty about that... I just try to say, 'Well, but we're going to swim and it'll be sunny.' I try to point out the positives."

Asked whether international stardom and parenthood works well together, Gwyneth said:

"I barely ever do films – I'm with them almost all the time. But in a way it makes the transition harder. I feel like if I worked all the time, then they would be used to it. But when I'm always there, and I'm always doing school runs and I'm always around – and then I just disappear for 14 hours a day to film – it's hard."
