Gwyneth Paltrow Returns from Her Mommy Retirement

It took a "dream" opportunity to lure Gwyneth Paltrow back to Hollywood after taking a break to have her children Apple, 3, and Moses, 15 months.

Paltrow jumped at the chance to come out of "mommy retirement" to share the screen with Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man.

She says that orking with Downey "has always been a dream of mine."

The actress is on the mend from recent knee surgery and went against doctors orders to sport a pair of vertiginous silver heels to promote the flick at Comic-Con in San Diego Sunday.

"Don't show my non-orthopedic shoes," Paltrow joked. "I got off the crutches two weeks ago and the cane yesterday and I've been doing a lot of physical therapy and I'm seriously not supposed to be in these shoes, but that's okay."

Getting in movie star shape to play the role of Virginia "Pepper" Potts took some hard work on her part. .

"I was like a post-baby nightmare," she says of post baby body. "So I worked really, really hard. I had an amazing trainer and I worked out twice a day and did dance cardio and felt like a complete nerd and I just really worked hard. I got into shape. And there you go. I was ready to go."

"It was great for me to have that break," she said of her time off from work. "I really needed that break and I've come back to the whole world with such an appreciation for it."
