Los Angeles, Oct 10 (IANS): Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who made headlines for saying that she uses her Oscar trophy as a doorstop, has come out with a clarification for the same.
The actress portraying Pepper Potts in 'Avengers: Infinity War' through her representative, did not take long to explain the truth about the matter.
The 51-year-old actress' representative spoke to Variety to set the record straight on her remarks.

The magazine also noted that her home "has a great deal of security, including a guard dog, a house manager and a room of security cameras," which could keep the trophy safe.
