Gwyneth Paltrow joked about doing "cocaine and not getting caught" as she reflected on life in the public eye in the 1990s – before social media.
The Sliding Doors actress, 50, admitted she could "go home with someone random" after "stumbling out of a bar" and "no one would know".
She made the revelations during a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden – speaking of her career pre-noughties.
"It was great, talk about doing cocaine and not getting caught," she explained on Monday night's episode. "You could just be at a bar having fun, dance on the table."
