May - Gwyneth Paltrow & baby AppleFading memory: Gywneth with AppleOscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted she has lost her memory has since having a baby.

The 32-year-old star she can no longer remember her lines since giving birth to Apple with husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 28, last May.

She said: "I used to be excellent and then I had a baby and I can't remember anything."

She added: "I used to have a fantastic memory and now I can't remember what day it is."

At the time she said she would take a break from acting, as she didn't want to miss out on spending time with her daughter.

But the actress has since returned to work to star in Running With Scissors, in which she plays the daughter of a lunatic psychiatrist.

Speaking to an audience of students from London's Central Saint Martins Drama Centre, Gwyneth  also said her sensitive nature could cause problems in her private life.

"I don't know whether it is a talent or a curse," she said. "If I walk into a room and if somebody is in a bad mood or upset I can feel it.

"Sometimes it's helpful in my work but in my life it's difficult at times.

"I end up taking it personally when it's nothing to do with me - maybe it's old fashioned narcissism."

Gwyn also told how she had to warm up with vocal exercises for around 15 minutes a day to perfect her English accent.

The Shakespeare In Love and Emma star was being interviewed by Drama Centre director Vladimir Mirodan at the Cochrane Theatre, in central London, to celebrate the launch of a new course in Film Arts at the school.

The pair were discussing the different techniques involved in film and theatre.
