From Telegraph Today:

 

Coldplay singer Chris Martin has confessed that he is still struggling to come to terms with the fact his wife Gwyneth Paltrow was briefly engaged to Hollywood heart-throb Brad Pitt.

Martin admits that Pitt's reputation as one of the most desired male celebrities has left him feeling insecure, and even drives him to make a success of his life.

 

"You've got to be hungry," Chris told US rock magazine Rolling Stone in an interview. "If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?"

 

Martin insists his wife is the only woman he has ever had a serious relationship with. The couple, who married in 2003, have two children named Apple and Moses.

He said: "I've only been in one serious relationship," he said. "Is that weird? I don't think it's that weird."

 

The musician, from Exeter in Devon, also admits that he worried that he was gay while growing up.

 

He told Rolling Stone: "It was more like, 'Oh s***, what if?', because he was brought up to think it was wrong.

 

"But then it struck me: who gives a s**t? And then it wasn't a problem.

 

"It sounds silly to say it now, but when you're a kid you think, 'I'm going to burn in hell for eternity if I like other guys or if I marry someone Jewish'."

 

He eventually realised he was heterosexual.

 

"I was swayed by boobs," he said. "Let's face it, they're fantastic."

 

Even so, he continued to have bad luck around the opposite sex.

 

He said: "There were religious issues and s**t like that. Also confidence. I had a tricky time with girls. I got trapped in the friendship tip many, many times.

 

"I was like, 'I need to be a rock star'".

Aw,shy boys are the best...he just needed a woman to corrupt him :wink3:

hmmm, and I thought that he didn't talk about his wife!!

interesting nevertheless

"cute"

haha "i need to be a rock star" luv it.

well done chris now you can have as many girls as you like....wonder what would be the case if he never became a rock star :stunned: think of that life changing music we would never have heard :shocked2:

^Quite frankly, I think it would've been worse for Chris cos he might never have gotten a gf lol

So he came close to ending up like George Michael??:stunned:

Lol. I'm pretty sure Natalie Embruglia thought they were in a serious relationship. Hope she's not reading this one!:laugh3:

^ Chris Martin: The George Michael Years.

 

 

I can see it now :P

 

EDIT:

Natalie Imbruglia? Whatever happened to her? Didn't she have a song called "Shiver" a few years back too? Thieving gf!

I often catch myself thinking "Would I date Chris if he wasn't the musician as we know him?" - of course, I say yes, because I adore him and what we know of him, but.. if he'd walk upon you on the streets like that, would you have banged him? =D

 

 

Sigh, men DO get hotter by age.

Lol. I'm pretty sure Natalie Embruglia thought they were in a serious relationship. Hope she's not reading this one!:laugh3:

 

Well if she is, I reckon she'll be "torn"!!:rolleyes:

This is great! Thanks!

Thanks for uploading, was a nice read.

 

Sounds like 'What if' got inspired by gayness.

 

Also, that picture of CM...he looks like some fugly geek there.

Well if she is, I reckon she'll be "torn"!!:rolleyes:

 

lol lol so silly

Haha...it is kind of funny...I thought of the song, "what if" as well as I read the article.

 

I feel like his life is full of "What ifs..." It kind of describes him to a T. He's always worried about something...

Sigh, men DO get hotter by age.

 

That is why he said he needed to become a rocks star. :)

dude, this is not gonna help the "coldplay is gay" image...lol.

one thing he was swayed by boobs,yeah i noticed because some or some time he sees an oppurtunity to talk about it.

 

Well for men it is the most attractive thing they like in woman,and he's nothing uncommon and i praise him for that.

 

or else he'll definitely becomes gay.

 

don't bother about religious issues Chris it is also there for all the people in world but we deal with them because they're inevitable.

 

i agree but you're better than most of the celebs in this world.

 

You please note that.

i think the media's gone crazy again about coldplay :dozey:

the new album's got their attention like something shiny and now they're writing something up about every little thing chris says. my goodness, it's not like this is news...he's said that he used to think he might be gay thousands of times before back in the AROBTTH era. this reminds me of the other one referring to chris mentioning the word "crack" and the word "pills" in the same half-hour stretch, suggesting he might just be an addict :rolleyes:

"i was swayed by boobs. lets face it. they're fantastic."

 

hahah

That is why he said he needed to become a rocks star. :)

 

'rocks star'? You mean like Crack rocks?? So he IS an addict!!:lol:

 

Sigh, men DO get hotter by age.

 

honestly! don't they though!?:laugh3:

I think this is funny but it isn't anything new.... Chris has been saying stuff like that for years!

anyway, that's what the media does....

honestly! don't they though!?:laugh3:

I know. It's so no fair. :(:laugh3:

Ive always love his wife as a actress and both of them together is awesome. I especially love how they stay out of the spotlight as a couple. Shes a actress and hes a musician. They arent like all those other celeb couples that love the spotlight and then break up after a year or so.
