Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celebrity to get candid on viral podcast, Call Her Daddy.

The 53-minute interview saw the Goop founder dish on some of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors—who also happen to be her exes–including Chris Martin, Ben Affleck, and Brad Pitt, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Depp.

Speaking to host Alex Cooper, Gwyneth got started by saying she had never been romantically interested in Leo, saying “he was very loose with the goods from when he was 19.” She also dispelled rumours she had ever “made out” with Johnny Depp.

Next, the duo moved onto a game of “F–, Marry, Kill,” with Gwyneth’s iconic exes as the subjects: ex-fiance Brad, ex-boyfriend Ben , and ex-husband Chris.

To marry, she picked Chris, saying, “I would do that all again.” Gwyneth and Chris were married from 2003 until 2014, and have two children together: Apple, 18, and Moses, 17.

Then, to sleep with, she selected Brad, which left no option but to kill Ben – “yeah, God bless him,” she added. 

Giving insight into her decision-making process, Gwyneth said, “Brad was like the sort of major chemistry, love of your life, kind of, at the time and then Ben was, like, technically excellent.

“I can’t believe my daughter’s listening to this,” she joked.

Gwyneth also delved into her relationship with Brad, which blossomed in 1994, after meeting on the set of the movie Seven.

Recalling their romance, Gwyneth said it was “major love at first sight. It was crazy”.

The pair were engaged in 1996, but split in 1997 before ever tying the knot. 

Reflecting on the reason for their breakup, the star said,  “I had a lot of development to do, looking back in hindsight. In a lot of ways, I didn’t really fully start to come into myself until I was 40 years old…And I had such a pleasing issue. I didn’t really even understand how to listen to my instincts and act from that place.”

“It was the right thing at that time, but it was really hard,” she added. “He’s a great guy. He’s wonderful, I really like him a lot.”
