Paltrow Has 'Booty Kicked' For Film Role

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow was forced to have her "booty kicked" for her role in IRON MAN - because she wasn't fit enough for the film's action sequences. The actress was forced to undertake a gruelling fitness regime for her part as secretary Virginia 'Pepper' Potts in the comic book adaptation, despite having only one fight scene in the entire movie. She says, "I only have one action sequence at the end but they wanted me in tip-top shape so I did a lot of working out. "I did a twice-a-day nightmare, super-hard cardio. I had this amazing trainer and she kicked my booty totally."
