Filming makes Gwyneth sick

Gwyneth Paltrow did not enjoy bobbing around in a small rowing boat in rough swells during filming for her latest movie off the coast of New Zealand’s South Island.

Paltrow and leading man Daniel Craig braved five foot swells to film scenes for Ted and Sylvia in the boat off the tiny coastal settlement of Karitane, 25 miles from Dunedin.

The rough surf apparently unsettled Paltrow. She declined autograph requests on her return for lunch saying she was sick.

In the film, Paltrow plays American poet Sylvia Plath while Craig plays her husband, English poet laureate Ted Hughes. The film is about the stormy relationship between the pair.

Filming in the region is set to take two weeks.

Accompanying Paltrow in New Zealand is her mother, Tony Award-winning theatre actor Blythe Danner, and boyfriend Chris Martin, lead singer with British band Coldplay.

Paltrow won the best actress Oscar for her role in Shakespeare in Love in 1999.
