Gwyneth Paltrowwas on a time crunch while shooting her new Netflix showThe Politician.
Her costarBen Plattspoke toVarietyabout what it was like to work with the Oscar-winner, saying she brought out the best in everyone on the set of theRyan Murphyseries.
“We never have to do many takes because a) she’s brilliant and she never needs more than a few,” Platt, 26, said.
He went on to joke, “And b) she simply doesn’t have time [to film] so whenever Gwyneth was there, everyone is on their toes and working at their most efficient level.”

The Goop CEO admitted she wasn’t “that passionate” about acting anymore, preferring to focus her time on her company and her family.
“I have had a lot of good luck and a lot of hard work, which led to a really good film career … at a certain point I felt like it wasn’t what I wanted to do … so I did a little pivot,” she said of creating Goop.
She also added that “it’s funny” and has “a very specific tone.”

“He had to convince me a little bit, I’ve got a pretty big day job over at goop.com, so I sorta put acting on the back burner,” Paltrow told Guthrie. “But he was writing and he was like, ‘I think I’m writing a part for you.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t think I can do a part.’ And lo and behold, here I am.”
Once Paltrow agreed to the role opposite actors like Platt andJessica Lange, the actress says working with Falchuk turned out to be a great experience.
“It was the best. It was really easy,” she says. “I think when you trust someone so much and you love someone so much, and they know you so well and you know them, it’s really an interesting set of characteristics to bring to a workplace. So it was really nice.”
