Colin Firth’s ex-wife attacks ‘disgusting’ Gwyneth Paltrow over Israeli property ad

LONDON: The ex-wife of actor Colin Firth has criticized Gwyneth Paltrow over the actress’s appearance in an advert for an Israeli housing development.

Paltrow had appeared in the ad promoting 51 Park, a 51-story luxury complex in Herzliya, 90 minutes’ drive from the Gaza Strip, The Independent reported on Sunday.

Livia Firth, 56, an environmental activist, said on an Instagram video that she had “canceled” Paltrow’s upcoming visit to Quintosapore, a sustainable farm in Italy that she runs with her siblings, over the advert.

It came as the actress faced criticism online as social media users condemned her promotion of luxury property amid the regional conflict.
