So, what exactly got Gwyneth so riled up? Well, it seems Clinton dozed off during the screening, and Paltrow wasn't too pleased about it.
Now, in Clinton's defense, "Emma" and anything by Jane Austen isn't exactly the kind of flick that would keep most guys riveted, right? I mean, I'm sure he wasn't the only one catching some Zs during that showing.
From Western Journal:
Sean Evans, host of “Hot Ones,” in which he interviews celebrities as they eat chicken wings, each of which is spicier than the last, had apparently heard a story about former President Bill Clinton’s not-so-presidential behavior during the White House screening of the 1996 film “Emma.”
Evans got his chance to confirm what he’d heard when he interviewed the film’s star, Gwyneth Paltrow, while she “enjoyed” a wing flavored with Cantina Royale’s Bourbon Maple Reaper hot sauce, which comes in at a respectable 73,000 on the Scoville Scale, which measure the level of capsaicin content in chili peppers.
“Is it true the Bill Clinton passed out asleep during a White House screening of Emma?” Evans asked.
Paltrow laughed at the question, and then pointed at Evans for emphasis.
“True,” she said.
“He was snoring right in front of me,” she explained. “I was like, ‘Wow, I guess this is gonna be a real hit movie.’
“But it was!” she added. “So f*** you, Bill Clinton.”
