Gwyneth Paltrow was taught X-rated move by Rob Lowe's wife as a teen
In the tell-all Gwyneth: A Biography by Amy Odell, it's alleged the actress, 52, got an unexpected education in sex during a visit to one of her mom's TV sets.
Odell claims that while the Oscar winner was in 10th grade, she tagged along to Florida, where her mom, Blythe Danner, was filming the 1990 movie Judgment.
There, young Gwynnie reportedly struck up a friendship with then up-and-coming makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff - who went on to marry Rob Lowe.
The star admitted as much on Lowe's Literally! podcast in July 2020.
She said: 'First of all, she was dating Keanu Reeves, who was my celebrity crush. And she was so cool.
'She knew that I was sneaking cigarettes, and she would come smoke with me behind the trailer.
'And she taught me how to give a blowjob, and you know, all the classic Sheryl stuff.
'And I just worshipped her. I thought she was literally the coolest chick of all time.
'And she was so awesome to me!'
Gwyneth's own charisma drew many of her classmates to her at the Spence, the private girls' school she attended.
In an excerpt of the book given to US Weekly, the head of the middle school at the time, Kate Turley, claims: 'She established herself as an interesting person - someone people wanted to hang out with.
'It was easy for her to make her way. But other students seemed to feel threatened.'
Odell said: 'One classmate recalled, 'Not one person had a doubt that she was going to be famous.' After all, she might spend a weekend with someone like [her godfather] Steven Spielberg. But she was also polarizing.'
One of those polarizing incidents was apparently when Gwyneth, who had inherited her father Bruce Paltrow's bawdy sense of humor, allegedly drew some X-rated art in the school library.
'One day, Spence's rather humorless librarian approached [head of school and Gwyneth's advisor James] Dawson, outraged that a student had drawn, on the partition of a study cubicle, an erect penis.
'She sent all four girls - Gwyneth among them - who had been in the library at the time to Dawson.
'Dawson made an ominous threat: 'All right, folks, this is completely uncalled for and obnoxious, so I'm going to suspend you all and put it on your college record.'
''I didn't do it,' said one girl, who left. The second girl said she didn't have anything to do with it either.
'Down to the third girl and Gwyneth, Dawson doubled down on his ultimatum, prompting the other girl to insist she wasn't responsible and leave.'

'Dawson now faced just Gwyneth. 'Gwyneth, you drew the erect penis in the library,' he said. 'I'm not really sure what you're talking about,' she said.
'He presented a picture the library had given him of the masterpiece. 'Oh, that penis,' Gwyneth said. 'I wasn't sure what we were talking about".
'Dawson pointed out that the other students had had to suffer through the confrontation with her. 'Come on, where's your sense of humor?'
'He often found her amusing, but replied, 'In the library, are you kidding me?' Gwyneth became annoyed when she had to clean it up.'
Daily Mail has reached out to the actress's representatives for comment.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' scores Marvel's first $100 million box office opening of 2025
Marvel's first family has finally found box office gold. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' the first film about the superheroes made under the guidance of Kevin Feige and the Walt Disney Co., earned $118 million in its first weekend in 4,125 North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. That makes it the fourth biggest opening of the year, behind 'A Minecraft Movie,' 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Superman,' and the biggest Marvel opening since 'Deadpool & Wolverine' grossed $211 million out of the gate last summer. Internationally, 'Fantastic Four' made $100 million from 52 territories, adding up to a $218 million worldwide debut. The numbers were within the range the studio was expecting. The film arrived in the wake of another big superhero reboot, James Gunn's 'Superman,' which opened three weekends ago and has already crossed $500 million globally. That film, from the other main player in comic book films, DC Studios, took second place with $24.9 million domestically. 'First Steps' is the latest attempt at bringing the superhuman family to the big screen, following lackluster performances for other versions. The film, based on the original Marvel comics, is set during the 1960s in a retro-futuristic world led by the Fantastic Four, a family of astronauts-turned-superhuman from exposure to cosmic rays during a space mission. The family is made up of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), who can stretch his body to incredible lengths; Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), who can render herself invisible; Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), who transforms into a fiery human torch; and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), who possesses tremendous superhuman strength with his stone-like flesh. The movie takes place four years after the family gained powers, during which Reed's inventions have transformed technology, and Sue's diplomacy has led to global peace. Both audiences and critics responded positively to the film, which currently has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and promising exit poll responses from opening weekend ticket buyers. An estimated 46% of audiences chose to see it on premium screens, including IMAX and other large formats. The once towering Marvel is working to rebuild audience enthusiasm for its films and characters. Its two previous offerings this year did not reach the cosmic box office heights of 'Deadpool & Wolverine," which made over $1.3 billion, or those of the 'Avengers'-era. But critically, the films have been on an upswing since the poorly reviewed 'Captain America: Brave New World,' which ultimately grossed $415 million worldwide. ' Thunderbolts," which jumpstarted the summer movie season, was better received critically but financially is capping out at just over $382 million globally. Like Deadpool and Wolverine, the Fantastic Four characters had been under the banner of 20th Century Fox for years. The studio produced two critically loathed, but decently profitable attempts in the mid-2000s with future Captain America Chris Evans as the Human Torch. In 2015, it tried again (unsuccessfully) with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. They got another chance after Disney's $71 billion acquisition of Fox's entertainment assets in 2019. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' $118 million. 2. 'Superman,' $24.9 million. 3. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' $13 million. 4. 'F1: The Movie,' $6.2 million. 5. 'Smurfs,' $5.4 million. 6. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' $5.1 million. 7. 'How to Train Your Dragon,' $2.8 million. 8. 'Eddington,' $1.7 million. 9. 'Saiyaara,' $1.3 million. 10. 'Oh, Hi!,' $1.1 million.
