Gwyneth Paltrow insists she’s not a diva but a list of requirements the A-list actress demands are met before she enters her exclusive gym indicates otherwise.

The 40-year-old actress is reportedly picky when it comes to her workout environment, demanding the entire shower be dried down before she washes off, and insisting on only drinking one brand of bottled water, which isn’t even stocked at her gym of choice.

An ‘insider’ revealed the exercise fanatic’s diva-like demands to Life & Style magazine, painting a picture of a very picky Paltrow.

“Before she showers, Gwyneth makes someone go into the stall and wipe the entire shower dry!” the source said.

“She refuses to touch what she called ‘somebody else’s shower water’.”

The gym Paltrow attends is reportedly stocked with a range of bottled water, but the available brands are apparently not good enough.

The star reportedly insists on sending “someone to the gas station to buy a couple of bottles of SmartWater” and made “such a fuss about it not being stocked”.

The actress, who was recently name the Most Beautiful Woman in the World by People magazine, takes her exercise very seriously.

She has previously revealed she spends two hours exercising every day after dropping her two children off at school

“I exercise from about 10am to 12pm,” she said.

Although she is a perfectionist when it comes to her fitness regime and onscreen performance, the actress insists she is low maintenance.

“Around the house, I’m in jeans and a T-shirt,” she said in an interview earlier this year.

“I don’t really wear make-up. That’s what [my family] are used to.”
