Gwyneth Paltrow decides not to be Nicole Kidman’s wife after all

GwyenthPaltrow-NicoleKidman[1](HMG) – Gwyneth Paltrow is not gonna be Nicole Kidman‘s wife after all. What’s that you say? Well Gwyneth was set to play wife to Nicole Kidman in the new movie project, The Danish Girl.  The movie an adaptation of the David Ebershoff novel is about the first post-operative transsexual Einar Wegener. A portrait painter, Wegener, first experienced her husband’s gender issues when he stepped in for a female model she was working with. He ended up becoming Lili Elbe, and Greta stood by him. Kidman will play the lead role of Wegener, both before and after the operation, and Paltrow was cast as Wegener’s wife Greta.  But Paltrow has just dropped out to spend more time with her family, husband Chris Martin and their kids, Apple and Moses. Well, actually, what she suggested was that her ‘exhausting’ family is forcing her to abandon the project telling Harper’s Bazaar magazine:

“Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I’m so tired.”

That’s okay I guess, because I kind of pictured Paltrow being the man in the relationship anyway.  Insiders say Paltrow recently felt  snubbed by Kidman and that’ why she left the project.  Paltrow was shooting her upcoming film Love Don’t Let Me Down in Nashville, which is near to where Kidman lives, and tried to get in touch with her, but the Aussie actress declined, which apparently Gwyneth took very personally.
