Gwyneth Paltrow talks about her she admires her daughter Apple Martin’s “sense of entitlement,” and how she means it “in the best way possible.”

Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter, Apple Martin, is the oldest child of the Martin Family. From a young age, she has captured a lot of attention in the media for her unusual name. It was mentioned the name Apple was thought of by her father, Chris Martin. In 2004, the actress explained to Oprah Winfrey, “When we were first pregnant, her daddy said, ‘If it’s a girl I think her name should be Apple. It sounded so sweet, and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know. Apples are so sweet, and they’re wholesome, and it’s biblical.” 

Recently in Adobe’s MAX summit interview, Paltrow talks about society’s potential change in females’ power in the workplace. The actress compliments her daughter’s Apple Martin’s strong-will and “sense of entitlement” and believes her daughter would be able to stand on her two feet against men in the workplace.  

In the interview, Paltrow mentions, “By the time my daughter is in the workforce, those girls are not going to stand for it. When I see my daughter with her friends, they are so empowered. They have—and I mean this word in the best possible way—they have a sense of entitlement that’s beautiful. It’s not spoiled.” Goop’s founder stated the term “entitlement” meant that her daughter, Apple, and her friends understand that both females and males should have equal opportunities. She also added in the interview, “It’s like, no, we are here for what the boys are gonna get, too. I find it very uplifting and heartening that we all seem to be going in this direction together.”
