Gwyneth Paltrow's 21-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is Coldplay singer Chris Martin, will graduate from Vanderbilt University in May with a degree in law, history and society.

Now she is ready to give acting a try, as she told Vogue in an episode of Beauty Secrets.

'I love dancing and I love acting. My dream is to act,' she said.

Martin - who also came clean on the cosmetic enhancements she's had done - is getting behind-the-scenes experience in the meantime, directing a play in school.

She also told Interview magazine in April, 'I would love to do theater because I adore it so much. I’ve obviously never done film before, but I’ve been trying to get involved in student films. I was born a theater kid.'

Martin, who has already established a remarkable modeling career, also posed in a number of fabulous outfits for the fashion magazine, which has Spanish singer Rosalia on the cover.

This comes after Paltrow said she left Los Angeles because she 'couldn't face' staying in the family home after her kids moved out.

The Iron Man star, who also has son Moses with ex Martin, admitted she needed to move house when the kids left home.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: 'The city [Los Angeles] took a big hit during COVID, and the threads never quite came back together.

'And then I couldn't face staying in that house without kids. That house without sleepovers and pancakes, I just couldn't do it.'

Gwyneth and Brad now split their time between homes in Montecito, California and Amagansett, New York.

She explained: 'We're in Montecito and Amagansett, like total country mice. But Los Angeles is a big part of who I am.

'I was born here, and it really runs through me, but [until about a decade or so ago,] I hadn't lived in L.A. since I was a kid, except when I used to stay with [ex-boyfriend] Brad Pitt in Hollywood ...

'It was magical. Anyway, I really hadn't lived here since I was in the sixth grade. I was always in New York, and then I was in London for a long time, and when Chris and I separated, he very kindly said: 'Hey, if you want to go home, I'm game.'

'And we landed in L.A. because it's where he was open to being - he's not a New York City guy. So I built this beautiful life here with my kids, and it was a very magical time in Los Angeles. It was really going through a renaissance.'

Gwyneth has made a return to acting after a lengthy break to star in sports drama Marty Supreme.
