Chris Martin: I’m Still Trying To Live Up To Brad Pitt
Coldplay’s Chris Martin is happily married to Gwyneth Paltrow– they even have two kids together. But somehow, Chris still feels like an underdog.
“You’ve got to be hungry,” he tells Rolling Stone. “If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you’d want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?”
Brad, then 31, and Gwyn, then 22, started dating in 1995 after they met on the set of the thriller Seven and got engaged in November 1996. Their two-and-a-half-year relationship ended in June 1997.
Also in the Rolling Stone article, Chris mentions that he sees reason for hope: “As soon as Barack Obama becomes president, people will be a bit more optimistic. If Obama was to be president, it would immediately change the whole outside world’s opinion of America overnight. America’s public image at the moment is really bad. And it’s a bummer, because over half of Americans are the coolest people on the planet. But they’ve been so misrepresented… But I think that, really, the fair thing would be, in electing the American president, to let everyone in the world vote, because it affects all of us. If there was a world vote, there’s no question who would win. No question. Of course, Barack Obama is human like the rest of us. He’s going to f— up. But I’m just trying to look on the bright side. What’s the point of being negative? Where does that get us? It gets you your own radio chat show, but it doesn’t really do anything for the world.”

Brad Pitt has more “good looks” in his pinkie toe than Chris Martin has in his entire body! The guy may be talented, but he’s ugly as sin!
What a bafoon. So, poor little Chris is affected by our president? How, exactly? He can’t say because British troops are in Iraq-that’s the responsibility of HIS Prime Minister. Not to mention the fact that some of the key false intel for invading Iraq came from the British. Truth is, of course, Bush’s presidency has had exactly ZERO effect on Chris Martin. ZERO. Oh, his sensitive little heart bleeds for the dead Iraqis, you say? Hm, was little Chrissy crying when Saddam was slaughtering 200,000 of his own people every year? Was he crying when Saddam stole food from his own people by violating the oil for food program? Of course not. Was he crying for the plight of women in Afghanistan? Of course not. Chris and smug stupid wife are typical celebrity liberals..they fly around on their private plains, live in multimillion pound homes, spend 5 grand for a bag for the kids poopy diapers but they really REALLY care about world poverty. Martin doesn’t know or understand a thing about world politics. I’ll tell you what, Chris, when the ‘world’ wants to take responsibility for it’s own defense(every time Europe breaks out in war, they come yelping for our help..most recently the Balkins)and pay for that defense(something Europe refuses to do-both directly and through the UN which the US overwhelmingly and disproportionately foots the bill for)-we’ll think about letting you vote. Douche.
He’s also just plain ignorant. European antiAmericanism has been around much MUCH longer than George Bush. It goes back literally hundreds of years. I was in Europe in the 90’s, an era of pure love supposedly from the world toward the US, right? The world loved Clinton, right? Ha! We ran into varying amounts of scorn and anger from one end of W .Europe to another..the worst was in Britain. And, the ignorance of Europeans about America and Americans was staggering. What was interesting is they had NO shame about voicing their ignorance! The mixture of ignorance and arrogance was actually hilarious.
i think GP and JA both cannot forgive themselves for having left BP.
and now they are burning up with anger of how famous he has become and most important how happy he is with his family that he loves so much.
Last time that I checked Chris is not an American and he should stop talking about issues that he has no idea about! Stay in London and stop talking about the American President! Thanks

“CM thought’s are insightful and right on time, America is hated because of this administration”
FFS, since when is stating the obvious ‘insightful’??
Sure, the rest of the world can vote for the US president - right after they start paying US taxes.
Yeesh. Not everyone in the public eye should speak publicly.
The political stuff he talked about is ridiculous. Yes, the world should really vote on the US President and we care what you think, why? As for the Brad Pitt comment, it sounded like a joke. I personally think she married the more talented guy.
I will say that I think him and Gwyneth have a strange marriage. They don’t accompany each other to anything. I am sorry, everybody knows you are married and have two kids. She is not at her peak anymore, so what’s the big deal? I can’t stand Brangelina, but Brad has always shown true affection and support for all the women he has been with.
After living in the U.S for a while I have noticed that Americans, English, Irish and Aussies all have a similar culture, except when it comes to humour, it is the one thing that is different. Many Americans tend to take everything literally, they don’t seem to “get” irony or tongue-in-cheek or “taking the piss”… Chris Martin is a very intelligent witty guy who was joking about Brad Pitt, he was being funny/sarcastic. Of course he knows that there could never be a world vote, he was simply making a statement about what many in the rest of the world think about the Presidential election, again not to be taken literally.
Chris is so cool and Gwyneth is so lucky she married him instead of being Brad’s live-in lover. She definitely has the best of both worlds..a talented and good looking man who is committed to not only her kids but to her as well. No contest…Chris…you the man.
I think all the people can talk the American President.
Why? The American President has the more big power of wold. He ruins our lifes the last years.
If Obama was to be president, it would immediately change the whole outside world’s opinion of America overnight. America’s public image at the moment is really bad. And it’s a bummer, because over half of Americans are the coolest people on the planet. But they’ve been so misrepresented
>> about that im agree with coldplay . the american image is very bad in the world
What a way to go true marriage.. If it isnt hard already, make it hard because you want to live up to a sexsymbol who had a glory live and now lives on what he once was.
really mature Chris. I always find his way to speak immature.
I hate it if he says things like this or if Gwyneth says Chris is going to be extremely mad because i mentioned his name.
I love Gwyn, i never thought big about Chris, nor coldplay. And now even less.
Message to Chris; you cant use your influence on teens and early twenties to get what you want.
Besides why do you care who will be the American president. You made it clear you never wanted to live there!.
Grow up kid, Grow up! its time for Apple and Moses to be the kiddies.
Obama has “image”. Great. He’s been a senator for a year and a half and spent most of it campaigning to be President.
He’s not qualified for a middle management position at a midsize corporation, but you want him to be President of the United States of America so the rest of the world thinks we’re swell? He can fix our image?
That’s not a President. That’s a CELEBRITY.
This thread is most likely finished, but I’ll vent my spleen anyway. Why do people go to threads where a celebrity like Chris here, or GC, MD, DC and others mention Brad with praise or a dry witty remark and are instantly branded “coat-riders”?
None of you - nor I, are in the industry that is Hollywood. What’s wrong with them mentioning him, praising him, or God forbid! liking him? He’s been in the business for 15+ years and has a great reputation, work ethic, generous heart; the love of a good woman and children he’s dreamed of having ALL HIS LIFE!
Most of you would rather believe tabloids that for celebrity “addicts” is money in the bank - The more salacious the story, the more someone will pay to get it. Stories are obtained by UNNAMED “sources”, “friends of” and “Insiders”, all of whom are handsomely paid for their stories that because on laziness on the magazine’s part are very rarely verified.
I know people who would often pay $40.00 to $50.00 per WEEK (that’s $2,400.00 per year) to read EVERYTHING about celebrities, or rather, get pictures of their “favorites”… Thankfully, the internet now provides those same pictures (usually more than the magazines would run for free!), and now those same people spend that money on other things, like food. Some of them donate that money to their local food banks.
Maybe you nay-sayers should take a look around you to see what you can do to help others instead of getting on your high-horses and acting like you know what these people do in their lives - You don’t live with them, nor do the people who peddle gossip to naive, lonely, or downright self-righteous hypocrites whose own lives should be fixed first.
I’m leaving now.

I love coldplay but god that man is ugly. I see why apple looks so awful. Poor girl…. bad name - bad face
wow…i thought so much more of him before i read this.
why does he feel the need to mention brad pitt being with his wife? CREEPY. and all that cr@p he said about America???? over half the people in America are the coolest people on the planet??? wtf does that even mean? stupid comment from any vantage point you chose to examine it from. also, letting the whole world vote on who should be the president of the United States??? seriously….is this guy high on crack? i used to feel sorry for him being married to gwyneth….but maybe i should be feeling sorry for her. actually, they both just suck….A LOT.
Last two posts suck.
Chris Martin is an idiot. Now that he has something to sell here he come. Martin drop off the face of earth. Your music is hype. You pay to brainwashing people into think that garbage is something. He thinks very little of the US he just need money now.
Brad Pitt must have something going on the ex’s can’t forget him. Man must be hottttttt. Brad’s ex’s men even want Brad. Brad is the hottest guy going.
WELSHBOY IS A F@G
The Brad Complex
This is Chris Martin on the cover of Rolling Stone promoting Coldplay’s latest Viva La Vida. Surprisingly enough, Chris, who adamantly refuses to discuss his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, actually alludes to her past relationship with Brad Pitt.
When discussing ambition and where he finds inspiration, Chris said:
“You’ve got to be hungry. If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you’d want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?”
Seriously, he seems rather fixated on Brad Pitt. I’ve seen Coldplay in concert several times. On at least 3 occasions, Chris addresses the crowd like:
Hello you, way at the back…don’t worry, none of us look like Brad Pitt so you’re not missing anything if you’re not in the front.
Chris also said he questioned his heterosexuality as a youth:
“It was more like, ‘Oh ****, what if?’, because was brought up to think it was wrong. It sounds silly to say it now, but when you’re a kid you think, ‘I’m going to ************ for eternity if I like other guys or if I marry someone Jewish’.”
It was tits that made him realise he was straight:
(I was) swayed by boobs. Let’s face it, they’re fantastic.
Now you know I love my girl Gwynnie, but she’s never had the best breasts. They’re nice and small, lucky *****, but they’re also shaped like triangles. Just sayin’…
Anyway, Coldplay has just postponed their tour by two weeks and now there’s word Chris has injured his knee which might lead to further delays. As of right now the tour is scheduled to begin in LA on July 14th. Am told Gwyneth and the children will be joining for part of the summer.
Gwyneth’s dad was Jewish….does he know? Or is he doing her a favor? I don’t know which of the two I pity more…..
