We drove out to swim in creeks, had beers in the local college bar, kissed in a field of long grass.”
Describing it as a magical summer, Paltrow continued, “He had shot the pilot of Friends but it had not aired yet. He was nervous, hoping his big break was just around the corner. It was. We stayed friends for a while until we drifted apart, but I was always happy to see him when I did. I am super sad today, as so many of us are. I hope Matthew is at peace at long last. I really do.”
