Kerry Washington Acted with Gwyneth Paltrow Back in School!

Kerry Washington steps out for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which will air on Wednesday (November 6).

The 42-year-old Emmy-nominated actress, who chatted about her new movie American Son and her upcoming show Little Fires Everywhere, also opened up about going to school with Gwyneth Paltrow.

“In high school, a few years difference makes a big deal. I’m not trying to say that she’s older than me, but she’s a little bit older than me. She was a senior when I was in junior high school. Even back then she was ‘Gwyneth Paltrow,’” Kerry said.

Ellen asked if they ever acted together and Kerry revealed they did.

“We actually did one play together. She was the queen, of course, in A Midsummer’s Night Dream and I was one of the fairies. The middle schoolers were allowed to audition for the fairies. We had one amazing show together,” she said.
