Tongue-tied! Gwyneth Paltrow had a VIP visitor in her backyard on Thursday, Oct. 9 --
President Obama! And the
Goop founder was so overwhelmed by her guest's good looks that she struggled to give a speech.
The Oscar-winning actress hosted a Democratic National Committee
fundraiser in her backyard, welcoming the President and around 200
others (including
Julia Roberts and Bradley Whitford) into the garden of her lavish Los Angeles home for a cocktail reception.
But
when it came to addressing her guests, and in particular the President
of the United States, an overwhelmed Paltrow found herself lost for
words.
The mom-of two told Obama, "I am one of your biggest
fans, if not the biggest," before praising him for being an "incredible
role model."
She went on to talk about the importance of sustainable energy sources,
and to praise Obama's support for equal pay which Paltrow (who
Forbes estimates earns an amazing $19 million a year) said was, "very important to me as a working mother."
Then,
overcome with nerves, the actress stumbled a little before passing the
microphone off to the President, telling him flirtatiously, "You're so
handsome that I can't speak properly.”
