Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she had pneumonia over the summer

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she secretly battled pneumonia at the end of the summer.

After a hectic promotional schedule at the start of the season, the Iron Man star, husband Chris Martin and their two children Apple and Moses planned to spend a relaxing summer at their home in Amagansett in the Hamptons just outside New York. But Gwyneth wanted to share their downtime with their family and friends so always had someone over to stay.

She explained recently: “It’s like running an inn, in a way. We have a lot of guests, which is fantastic, but sometimes I feel so tired.

“At the end of the summer I got pneumonia. I think I just overextended myself.”
