In a new interview with Elle Magazine, Paltrow says people's biggest misconception about her is "that I'm a goody two-shoes."

"Man, I wish smoking didn't kill you," Paltrow said. "I'd be smoking right now."

“I miss it. The last cigarette I smoked was the day I found out I was pregnant with Apple. I had to sit down and smoke one final cigarette."

“It's such a beautiful thing. I'm so [angry] it gives you cancer."

Paltrow said that cigarettes were an emotional crutch for her.

“I just love them so much. I've decided that when I'm about 70 I'm going to start smoking again. Why not? I can't wait!"

The mother of two also admitted she enjoys a cocktail on occasion.

“I also love good red wine. White wine is nice too. I don't like lager, but I like stout - I love Guinness," Paltrow said.

“I never get drunk to the point of throwing up or anything, but I get very warm and talkative.”
