The Coldplay lads are being shamed into swapping sweets for salad after piling on the pounds.

 

Chris, Guy, Jonny and Will are on top of the world since conquering all with their new album Viva la Vida and single Violet Hill.

 

But they've put on weight thanks to a diet of "baked goods" - endless cakes, pastries and pies. "It happens whenever we have some downtime, usually between albums," says Chris.

 

"We get very hairy and kind of morph into Bill Oddie - we stack on the weight."

 

But, he says, a meeting with former Stone Roses bassist Mani made him get to grips with his waistline.

 

"He was eating a sandwich and I asked him what was in it. He told me it was salad and that I should eat the same. Mani warned us that nobody wants a fat pop star.'"

 

Now, not only are all the boys watching their diet, Chris, 31, has even banned club sandwiches from their catering menu on tour. A source confirmed: "They love the things and know they will be tempted to scoff a few if they're lying about." Yeah, you and your vices, Chris...

Chris has just made an advert for UK TV, and I must say I think he's taking the diet a bit far...

oh my:laugh3: , I seem to remember this advert , vhs:laugh3: , I used to have hundreds of those , dvd took my film collection out for a while...

Johnny needs to go on a diet though!!:smug:

Pffft. Diet??? They aren't fat. They look pretty good the way they are right now!

 

And yes, I think Guy especially doesn't need to lose any weight. He's really got a runner's body right now, especially after training for the London marathon. Any less and he'll disappear.

This article is taken from the interview with the Australian radio station, all he said is that they put on weight in between albums and then lose it.

I thought they actually all looked pretty in shape in comparison to other times...

 

That makes sense that they probably put on weight before...because they all look relatively slim

Wouldn't they lose some weight touring anyways? All that performing on stage and sweating...
