Gwyneth Paltrow: My Kids Will Pay Their Own Way

Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed never to give her children trust funds, despite her and husband Chris Martin’s millions.

The actress says she was never given any money by her movie director father Bruce when she left college, and her two kids - Apple, 4, and Moses, 2 - will have to pay their own way too.

She tells The Times, “My father made it very clear that the day I left university I was on my own.

“He didn’t give me any money and I really struggled and I waitressed and bought cigarettes out of tips and tried to get to auditions with no gas.

“The worst thing you can do is give a child a trust fund. They know they’ll get it when they’re 18 or 21. And it just kills passion.”
