Gwyneth Paltrow: Mothers “have our fingers in all the pots”
Gwyneth Paltrow, 35, tells this week’s edition of Hello! magazine that being a mother made it easy for her to identify with her character Virginia "Pepper" Potts, the secretary to Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.
I think most mothers are multi-taskers. We have our fingers in all of the pots. We have to organize lunches and school projects as well as our own work and stuff, and we have to deal with it when the heating breaks down too. So in that way I’m similar to Pepper Potts, but then so is almost every woman I know.
She also revealed that daughter Apple Blythe Alison, who turns 4 on May 14th, is already a little computer whiz.
She says ‘I want to watch something on the computer,’ clicks iTunes or a TV show, scrolls down and there it is. She’s three-years-old! Not like me at all, I’m not that gifted technologically.
More from the interview below, including how she and Chris thought Moses would be a second daughter.
The actress has admitted that she suffered from mild postpartum depression after the birth of her son Moses, 2, but is now feeling "just fine."
I’doriginally thought I was going to be having another girl, so it was awonderful surprise to have a boy. He is absolutely gorgeous — he justmakes me go weak at the knees.
The relationship between Apple and Moses is very good inthat sibling way — they get along really well, which makes me veryhappy. My younger brother Jake is one of the most important people inmy life and I’m looking forward to seeing my two grow up and enjoyingthat closeness.
They’re very sweet. It’s nice to have one of each and maybe have another one, too … who knows?
Apple and Moses’ dad is Coldplay’s Chris Martin, 31

LOL! Apple is the little computer whiz! My little brother does the same thing for us, he knows more about the computer at 5 than I did at 13.
