Gwyneth Paltrow @ Comic-Con 2007

Gwyneth Paltrow (in Zac Posen) hypes up Iron Man at the 2007 Comic-Con press panel held at the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday in San Diego, Calif. She finished off her look with Lanvin sandals and bangles.

Paltrow plays assistant Pepper Potts to arms manufacturer Tony Stark, aka Iron Man (played by Robert Downey Jr.).

When asked how did the actors prepared, co-star Downey joked, “Gwyneth was my personal assistant for two months. [pause] That was after we wrapped principal photography. Sometimes you do prep after.”

The audience laughed, Gwyneth looked confused. Added Downey, “She was running the acting department at the end of the day.”

“Such bulls***!” Gwyneth replied.

“I had to say that for a certain demographic” said Downey, winking at the ladies in the crowd.

And Gwyneth also commented on RDJ‘s performance: “Robert is totally brilliant as Iron Man. He’s just incredible. He blew me away on set every day. It was really fun to just watch the clip of it downstairs with all the fans, and to see him all beautiful with his muscles and his goatee.”
