Gwyneth Paltrow apologises for wearing fur

Actress thought stole was faux

Gwyneth Paltrow would never wear fur in real life

Gwyneth Paltrow has apologised to animal rights group PETA for wearing fur.

The actress was criticised for having a stole draped around her neck on a photoshoot for Italian clothes company Tod's in August.

‘I do not wear fur at all,' Gwyneth tells PETA's vice president Dan Mathews.

‘It was a day-long photo shoot and there were all sorts of poses with all kinds of clothes. During one set-up a stylist came up from behind and draped a stole around my shoulder.

‘I didn't pay much attention to it and when I noticed it was fur, I assumed it was fake fur. But I did not ask, so it's my fault.

‘I know it's not a great excuse, but I hope your members understand.’
