Smells like Gwyneth’s partying days! Gwyneth Paltrow reminisced about hitting the town in the ‘90s, recalling wild nights out where she couldn’t be tracked on social media.

“It was great — I mean talk about doing cocaine and not getting caught!” the Academy Award winner, 50, joked on The Late, Late Show With James Corden on Monday, January 9. “Like, you could just be at a bar and be, like, having fun, dance on a table, you could … no camera phones!”

Paltrow, who was raised in Manhattan, added that being in the Big Apple gave her an added shroud of secrecy. “Especially in New York, interestingly enough, there were no paparazzi,” she continued. “You could stumble out of a bar and go home with some rando and no one would know.”

The Shakespeare in Love star previously opened up about her precocious youth during a 2020 interview with Rob Lowe on his podcast, “Literally! With Rob Lowe.” Paltrow gushed to the Parks and Recreation alum, 58, about how his now-wife, makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff, taught her how to perform oral sex on set one day.

“I met Sheryl and I was immediately obsessed with her,” the Goop founder told Lowe about their first meeting in the late ‘80s, when Paltrow was around “15 or 16,” she recalled. “First of all, she was dating Keanu Reeves, who was my celebrity crush. And she was so cool.”

According to Paltrow, Berkoff was aware that the teen actress was “sneaking cigarettes, and she would come smoke with me behind the trailer.” The beauty professional also “taught me how to give a b—wjob, and you know, all the classic Sheryl stuff,” the wellness guru dished. “I just worshipped her. I thought she was literally the coolest chick of all time, and she was so awesome to me and I was a high school kid.”
