Gwyneth Paltrow says she has decided to step back from her acting career after discovering that she was happier away from the camera. In a conversation with Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series, the actor also shared that she is not comfortable with being a public person.  Paltrow has lately taken up fewer acting roles, with her most recent film role being in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.

She said, “I realised later in life that I actually haven’t been that comfortable being a public person or being in front of the camera even though I’ve done it for so long. There’s a part of me that feels shy and doesn’t feel like I’m naturally an extrovert. I started doing it so young. I went for a long time before I asked myself — ‘do I like this job? Am I comfortable doing this? Do I want to be an actor?’” she said.
