Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a fundraiser at her Brentwood home in Los Angeles on Thursday and seemed to have some difficulty speaking. It’s unclear if it was because she had one too many glasses of wine or she was flustered as #BarackObama was standing beside her but the actress gave a brief speech saying:
"I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest." She then praised Obama's support for equal pay, saying it's "very important to me as a working mother." Before handing the microphone to the President, Gwyneth gushed, "You're so handsome that I can't speak properly."
Obama then thanked her and her kids for "letting us crash your house," before using her kids as an example in his speech. He said:
"I want to assure everybody that the likelihood of an epidemic here in the United States is extraordinarily small. But there's a humanitarian crisis that's happening right now in West Africa where children not much older, and in some cases younger than Apple and Moses, are dying on the streets alone."
Gwyneth hosted the fundraiser to benefit the Democratic Party. Tickets to the event were crazy expensive. Here is a breakdown:
- $1,000: You get on Gwyneth's lawn and get to hear Obama's speech
- $2,500: A good seat on her lawn+ the above
- $5,000: For a photo with Obama + all of the above
- $15,000: A pic with Obama and you get to stay for dinner + all of the above
- $32,400: To chat with Obama, your name on invitation + all of the above
