No, Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't use her Oscar trophy as a doorstop

All those who bought into the idea that Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow uses her Academy Award trophy as a doorstop, can stop with the imagination as reps for the actress confirmed that it was only a “joke”. The rumours started circulating after a video of Gwyneth’s interview with Vogue popped up in everyone’s feed where she can be heard joking that she uses the award as a doorstop.

Several publications started running headlines like, “Yes, Gwyneth uses Oscar trophy as a doorstop” and what not.

In the Vogue’s “73 Questions” series, Gwyneth Paltrow is seen propping open a door outside her Hamptons home. As the interviewer asks, “What a beautiful Academy Award,” the actress replies, “My doorstop. It works perfectly!”

A representative for Gwyneth Paltrow told Variety “of course, it’s a joke,” citing an interview with the New York Times in which the actor mentions she keeps her Academy Award in her house in Amagansett, New York.

Gwyneth Paltrow won the Academy Award in 1999 for her performance as Viola De Lesseps in Shakespeare in Love.
