In the commercial, which was filmed in New York, a chipper Paltrow runs through Central Park and extolls the values of living near a park. After her run, she asks her driver to take her to 51 Park. When he asks, New York?, she responds with a peppy, Herzliya, Israel!
In a LinkedIn post, Gabi Attal, CEO of Israeli creative agency Why Worry, wrote that Paltrow was the perfect person for the campaign. To bring this architectural masterpiece to the Israeli audience, we needed a figure who effortlessly embodies international elegance, a premium lifestyle, and uncompromising quality, he wrote. Enter Academy Award, Emmy, and Golden Globe winner Gwyneth Paltrow.

I'm convinced none of this means diddly squat to Miss Paltrow.

Stop seeing actors as 'role models'. Stop seeing them as anything other an a person doing a job. Sure, some are really good at it. But, they are still just human beings.
Which means that they can be good at their jobs but still be shit as a person.
She is a person looking for work. She found some. Some may say she should have morals. Some say she is just being a smart business person. Either way, she is doing this for money. Just like anyone else.
(You know, the sole reason for existence, here in the US?)
You want 'role models'... look to historical figures. Look to the everyday nurse that saves lives or the person who stands up for what is right to a bully corporation ... and, even they are still 'just people'.
This 'glamour' factor is really ruining our ability to see a real 'role model'.
