Reuter reported :”In a statement issued through People magazine’s Web site, Paltrow said she was “deeply upset” by remarks attributed to her by the Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias, which quoted the actress as saying: “The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”
“I never, ever would have said that,” said Paltrow, 34, who is married to British rock star
Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, and resides part time with him and their two children in London.
“I feel so lucky to be American,” she said. “I feel so proud to be American.”
Paltrow denies giving an interview to the Portuguese daily, though she did speak at a news conference in Spanish, according to People.
“This is what I said,” Paltrow explained. “I said that Europe is a much older culture, and there’s a difference. I always say in America, people live to work, and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both.”
She added: “Obviously, I need to go back to seventh-grade Spanish.”
Maybe she planning a sequel for “lost in translation”.
