Gwyneth Paltrow Won't Play Nicole Kidman's Wife

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 18th 2010 10:52AM

Gwyneth Paltrow will no longer be playing Nicole Kidman's wife in the upcoming film, 'The Danish Girl,' after deciding she would rather spend more time with her family, the actress tells Harper's Bazaar.

The 'Iron Man' actress signed up for the movie back in November, replacing the quitting Charlize Theron. 'Danish Girl' tells the story of a man who undergoes the first sex-change operation (Kidman) and the wife that stands by her.

Paltrow explained that after the film's location was changed, she couldn't bear spending much time away from husband Chris Martin and her young kids, Apple, 6, and Moses, 4.

"Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I'm so tired," she said. "When I pulled out, he (Martin) said, 'I think you'll be happy with your decision.'"

The star's rep concurred, saying, "Chris and Gwyneth have spent a lot of time apart. This way she gets more family time."

This leaves producers scrambling to find another actress to play alongside Kidman.

What the Hell is next? Will "Hollyweird" pump out a movie about a poor, hand-wringing homosexual whose gerbil buddy was confiscated by law enforcement officials and turned over to the ASPCA?

The above poll results just add to the fact that the producers are not telling the truth regarding voting on DWTS and keeping her on the show even tho she has the lowest votes-She is not liked at all and is pathetic and a bad dancer-

Does this mean we get detached from Gwyneth's kidneys, because life would hardly be worth living if so....

Lena Heady would be great. Or Cate Blanchett...she would be great too.
