PALTROW: PARENTHOOD IS "AMAZING"

Although Gwyneth Paltrow is keen to get back into acting it seems that she'll be looking back fondly to her days as a full-time mother.

Speaking yesterday to talkshow host Oprah Winfrey, the Oscar-winning actress said that being a housewife is "amazing".

Paltrow married the Coldplay singer Chris Martin in 2003 and the pair have two children together, Apple, three, and ten-month-old Moses.

"I've been at home being a housewife, which is amazing and I've loved every second of it," she said.

"It's 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and they want you present and real and connected and there - but it's been the best three years of my life."

When asked if she was looking forward to returning to work she said: "I'm really looking forward to it as an artist and as somebody who that part of me has been dormant for a long time."

Cinemagoers are set to see Paltrow back on screens towards the end of this year. Projects in the pipeline for the Shakespeare in Love actress include Dirty Tricks – also starring Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep – and Iron Man, in which she will appear alongside Robert Downey Jr.
