Gwyneth Paltrow may be a big-time star now but like so many teens, started off her career as a babysitter! And now, her childcare past is paying dividends.
The Oscar winner, 49, used to change the diapers of then-future entrepreneur Luke Anderson. Fast forward a few decades and he is now the co-founder of Cann, a cannabis-infused beverage brand.
While many celebrities quickly invested in the brand, the entrepreneur did not have the same luck with his one-time babysitter.
Anderson repeatedly asked Paltrow to come on board when he was starting out in 2019, but the actress declined to invest at first, saying she did not think the brand was big enough.
While it took years, the company announced Tuesday that Anderson finally convinced the Goop mogul to be part of his $5 million seed round, and in so doing she joined Darren Criss, Rebel Wilson, Nina Dobrev, Kate Hudson and others in support of the THC- and CBD-infused flavored drinks.
