Gwyneth Paltrow admits that she has to lean on her kids to help her understand some of the funniest things online.
In an interview with CULTURED, the Goop founder, 51, told the outlet that she has her kids Moses, 18, and Apple, 19, help decipher internet memes and more.
“This one meme, ‘I’m baby,’ ” Paltrow explains of a recent meme she asked her kids about. “I’m like, ‘What the f—? What does that mean?’ And then everyone tries to explain what ‘I’m baby’ means. I finally got it.”
The star even admitted that she will still have some help even when Moses heads off to college soon.
“Luckily, I talk to my daughter multiple times a day, and I’m sure when Moses goes it will be the same.”
“But in the meantime, until September, I have my son here to explain to me what all these crazy things that pop up are,” she continues.
Speaking to Today as of late, the star noted that she is launching a clean beauty brand under goop and even admitted that she turned down some big roles to help raise her kids.

“There were a lot,” Paltrow admitted.
“I mean it’s funny because it didn’t feel like a sacrifice to me at the time, but if I look back at it through a cultural lens, I think like, wow, if people know that I didn’t do this movie or that movie, they’d be quite shocked,” said the mom of two.
“In the fall, Brad [Falchuk] and I have boys that will be going off to university,” Paltrow said of her son Moses and her husband’s son Brody. “It’ll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house.”
“On the one hand, incredible sadness. A deep sense of impending grief,” the actress said of how she feels about the kids leaving. “On the other hand, this is exactly what should be happening.”
“Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That’s exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house.”
