Paltrow: America is weird
Evening Standard Last updated at 00:00am on 16.01.04Gwyneth Paltrow wants to raise her first child in Britain - because America is 'too weird'.
The 31-year-old wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin is due to have their first child later this year.
Paltrow said she would worry about bringing up a baby in the US adding: 'There's a weird over-patriotic atmosphere. It's like, "We're No.1 and the rest of the world doesn't matter".
'With all the guns in schools, it's not too great. We'll probably move about until school age and then choose a place and stick with it.'
