Brad Pitt struggles to keep up with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Hollywood success

Brad Pitt was reportedly felt threatened by Gwyneth Paltrow’s growing fame during their relationship, according to a new biography.

The book Gwyneth The Biography by Amy Odell revealed that Paltrow often confided in makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin about her struggles with Pitt. 

Sources claimed that the actor “seemed to feel weird by her success and all the attention she received.”

However, Aucoin’s advice to the actress was direct as he told her, “You really need to end this.”

Pitt and Paltrow met on the set of Se7en in 1994 when the actor was, already one of Hollywood’s biggest names, and he was instantly taken by the actress. 

In 1997 interview, the F1 actor described becoming “goofy” and unable to speak the first time he stood near her.

The Ad Astra star publicly declared his love during his 1996 Golden Globes acceptance speech, calling Paltrow “my angel” and “the love of my life.” 

He also stepped in when Paltrow shared that Harvey Weinstein had sexually harassed her early in her career. 

According to Paltrow, Pitt warned the producer, “If you ever make her feel uncomfortable again, I’ll kill you.” She later praised him for protecting her when she “didn’t have fame or power yet.”

The couple dated for two years and got engaged in December 1996, but unfortunately, the relationship unraveled and they ended it six months later.
