Gwyneth Paltrow is an acclaimed actress but when it came to sharing the stage with the US President she was at a loss for words.
“You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly,” Paltrow gushed after introducing Barack Obama to several hundred supporters during a fundraiser at her Los Angeles home.
In a brief introduction punctuated by “ums”, the actress described Mr Obama as an “incredible role model”.
She then told him something she is likely to have heard a few times: “I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest.”
The Hollywood star hosted a reception and dinner benefiting the Democratic Party that marked the start of a three-day, California fundraising swing for Mr Obama.
The President is scheduled to attend three other Democratic National Committee fundraisers in Los Angeles and San Francisco before returning to Washington on Saturday.
“I’m taking her to the next event,” Mr Obama quipped when it was his turn to speak.
Paltrow, one of the highest paid stars in the world, praised the US President for supporting equal pay, saying that was “very important to me as a working mother”.
