Gwyneth and Drew Barrymore's godfather

Gwyneth's parents Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner selected Spielberg to be godfather to their daughter. As per Popsugar, the film director is close friends with Gwyneth's parents and was named her godfather when she was born. More so, he also calls Drew his goddaughter and helped her bag the role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial when she was just 7 years old. The report further added that Steven sent Barrymore a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read, "Cover yourself up" when she posed for Playboy in 1995. 

Gwyneth is the author of several cookbooks including 2011’s My Father’s Daughter and 2019’s The Clean Plate, whereas Drew has worked in a slew of movies like Never Been Kissed, Donnie Darko, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Going the Distance, among others.
