Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that she acted like a "robot" after the birth of her son.

Speaking to Vogue magazine, the actress, who has two children with her singer husband Chris Martin, said: "At my lowest, I was a robot."

Referring to her son Moses, she said: "I just didn't feel anything. I had no maternal feelings for him - it was awful."

"I had no thoughts of harming him, thank God, but I couldn't connect, and still, when I look pictures of him at three months old, I don't remember that time."

"My problem was that I never acknowledged anything was wrong. I just carried on as normal, and I just felt crazy."

"It was Chris, actually, who said out loud that something was wrong. And that was such a relief when he did because it was confirmation that it wasn't just me."

"That was the beginning. That was when I cracked it - I started exercising and I started thinking about working again."
