Gwyneth Paltrow: ‘Iron Man is my first pay cheque in six years’

Gwyneth Paltrow’s pay cheque for Iron Man will be her first in six years, the Hollywood actress has revealed.

The star said she got sick of making big budget films and started opting for smaller, independent projects – but the downside was that she was expected to work for free.

And Paltrow insists that the Iron Man blockbuster, in which she stars as Virginia “Pepper” Potts alongside Robert Downey Jr, is the first time since then that she has actually been paid for her services.

She says: “I basically stopped making money from films in 2002. All the things I have done since then have been things I really wanted to do. And I have not made money from them.”
