Gwyneth Paltrow finds it 'funny' to think of the criticism she received for launching her own wellness brand

Gwyneth Paltrow finds it "funny" to think of the criticism she received for launching her own wellness brand.

The Oscar-winning star founded Goop - her wellness and lifestyle company - back in 2008, and she now finds it funny to think of "how mean people were" about the venture at the time.

Gwyneth, 51, told Sky News: "I think it's actually funny at this point, you know, when I look back and I think about how mean people were about a number of things.

"We always just talked about things early. I think there is maybe a satisfaction, to know that, not to be glib, but just to know that I was on to something, my instincts were right. And I think it's reaffirming, for myself, and going forward … if I really believe in something and I think it's interesting and I think people might want to know about it, I'm happy to share about it."

Gwyneth has enjoyed huge success with her Goop brand.
