Legend is father to two kids like Paltrow is, but Gwyneth’s are older than his, and he asked if they’re at the point where she’s ’embarrassing’ to them.
‘My daughter finds me mortifying,’ Paltrow said. ‘If I do anything in public, past just not talking and standing still, she’s like “Oh my God stop it!”‘
She also revealed that Apple has her learner’s permit and she drives them to school every day, and one day she drove was the first time she ‘failed as a mother.’

‘She’s a really good driver. I try to be calm and… the first time I failed as a mother, because she went through a red light and I kind of yelled at her,’ Paltrow said.
‘Then she started crying and it was just terrible and I felt so bad,’ she added. ‘So then I was like, OK, you know what, I’m just gonna be chill, and now she’s an amazing driver and I think I’ve learned from my mistakes.’
Paltrow added that she kind of has, ‘road rage’ in the car, and she can see how her daughter, ‘takes on certain aspects of you.’

Legend added that his wife, supermodel Chrissy Teigen has road rage too, with Paltrow adding, ‘it’s the place I get out all my anger.’
‘I wanna yell at someone where no one can hear me,’ Paltrow explained, as Legend explained it’s the only place he’s ‘aggressive’ and he’s usually, ‘the calmest person.’
He added that road rage feels, ‘futile,’ which Paltrow agreed with, adding, ‘It is futile, it’s ridiculous, but I still do it and now she is starting to yell at people behind the wheel.’

She also opened up her controversial Goop candle dubbed ‘This Candle Smells Like My Vagina.’
When asked about how that came about, she said, ‘The idea that women have been taught to have a certain amount of shame about their body.’
‘So, if you just light a candle that says This Smells Like My Vagina, and put it on the coffee table, it’s kind of a punk rock statement,’ she added.
