In typical Gwyneth Paltrow fashion, the actress gave a rather colorful tour of her Hamptons home in a new 73 Questions interview with Vogue.

While answering the interviewer’s rapid-fire questions about her career, Goop, and her personal life, the Academy Award-winning actress led him through her sunny Hamptons garden, where the interviewer noticed the shocking place she keeps her Oscar award.

“What a beautiful Academy Award,” he commented. The camera panned down to show Paltrow’s Oscar leaning against the wooden gate to keep it open.

“My doorstop!” she said. “It works perfectly.” 

Paltrow won the Oscar in 1999 for Best Actress for her lead role in Shakespeare in Love, in which she played Shakespeare’s muse and love interest, Viola De Lesseps.

Though she didn’t elaborate further about what it was doing in her garden, Paltrow had much to say about her decades-long career in acting, including which roles stuck out to her the most.

“Oh gosh, I was so lucky. I’ve had so many amazing roles,” she said.

When asked which of her movies she would most likely go back to watch, she pointed to her 1996 feature Emma. She was also asked if there was anything she missed from starring in leading roles, to which she boldly replied, “Nothing.”

Paltrow has previously spoken on the overwhelming experience of winning the first and only Oscar of her career. In an interview this past May, Paltrow admitted that winning the Oscar gave her “a bit of an identity crisis.”

“If you win the biggest prize, like what are you supposed to do? And where are you supposed to go?” she recalled. “It was hard, the amount of attention that you receive on a night like that and the weeks following, it’s so disorienting. And frankly, really unhealthy.”

She described the experience as “totally overwhelming” and said it taught her to “be less open-hearted and much more protective of myself.”

Paltrow had beat Meryl StreepCate Blanchett and Emily Watson for the honor in 1999. But her win was just one of seven Academy Awards the historical romcom received that year. And now it’s being used as a doorstop!
