During a recent Instagram Q&A, Gwyneth Paltrow humorously acknowledged her Brat Pack roots when asked if she’s a “Brat.” The actress laughed and responded, “Aren’t you supposed to say ‘I’m brat’ or ‘Are you brat?’ I think my kid said it’s that way. And yes, I am so brat. I am so brat it hurts.”
The term “Brat” has gained modern popularity thanks to Charli XCX’s album *Brat*, which has inspired a viral dance trend and a neon green aesthetic. Charli XCX later clarified the contemporary meaning of being a “Brat” in a TikTok video, describing it as someone who is a bit messy, enjoys partying, says dumb things, and embraces their volatile yet honest nature.
Paltrow, seemingly embracing this definition, later referenced it again when responding to a fan’s question, saying, “Brat as hell until 9 pm,” showing her playful alignment with the term.
