Gwyneth Paltrow has been forced to call in pest control — after rats invaded her Hollywood home.
The actress, 36, is currently renting a property in LA while she films new movie Iron Man 2.
But Paltrow — who is married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin — apparently burst into tears when she was told the furry vermin had taken up residence at the pad.
However, Gwyenth didn’t want the rats killed — she asked for them to be gently removed from the property and not harmed in any way, according to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.
A source tells the tabloid, “Gwyneth wanted everything to be perfect. She was so excited about moving to LA with the family and to be closer to her actress mum, Blythe Danner. It will be the first time in ages that she, Chris and the children will be living together as a family.
“But her stomach turned at the thought of rats running around. She didn’t want her homecoming ruined by those horrible creatures.
“She wanted to cancel the contract, but Chris calmed her down.
“Instead they searched for an expensive rat catcher – not just any old rat catcher. Being an animal lover, Gwyneth didn’t want the vermin harmed, just removed.”
Iron Man II — which also stars Robert Downey, Jr., Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson — hits theaters in May 2010.
