We already know about how Gwyneth Paltrow “saved” a stranger’s life by nearly hitting her with her SUV, which made the woman late for work… at the World Trade Center, on September 11, 2001! But apparently it takes Gwyn about three weeks to catch up with the Internet, because only now is she giving her “humble” response to this harrowing tale of bravery and chance. As you might’ve guessed, her response is pretty oblivious.
Basically, what happened was I had gone to a yoga class very early… I was on the way home and it was the morning of September 11 — not that I knew at the time what that meant — and a girl was jaywalking across the street and we kind of both stopped at the same time and waited a really long time.
Ten years later I got a letter from her saying that she had been late for work and we had that thing and she went down to the Christopher Street station to catch her train to go down to the World Trade Center where she worked on the 77th floor of the South Tower and the train was just pulling out.
So had we not had that interaction she feels like her life would’ve taken a much different course. She called it her “Sliding Doors moment.” It was an extraordinary story and all I could think about is all of the people who had experiences like that that day, but aren’t able to reach out because it wasn’t a recognizable person.
Oh, Gwyneth. We know that you’re trying to sound like a normal person, and you bring up a pretty reasonable point — that the story is more exciting because a superstar like you is directly involved — but it still sounds more self-congratulatory than contemplative.
