Gwyneth Paltrow begs brother for a job

A-list star wants to be in bro's first film

Gwyneth Paltrow is so keen to be in her brother's first film, she's begged him for a role.

Jake Paltrow has just started filming The Good Night, which stars Martin Freeman as a man who falls in love with Penélope Cruz, a woman in his dreams.

'Jake started putting this great cast together, and I asked, "Can I please be in it?" He kept resisting,' Gwyneth tells Celebs On Sunday.

'He thought, "It's my first film and I don't want it to be associated with you".

'Then slowly he realised, "My sister's a really good actress, and if she wants to be in the film, I might as well let her.'

So she's been given a small supporting role.

If he hadn't given in, your mum could have given him a good telling off, eh, Gwyneth?
