Chris Martin: Brad Pitt is a tough act to follow
It seems like Coldplay frontman Chris Martin would always know the right thing to say to please a lady, but he wasn't always so suave. "I had a tricky time with girls until I was, like, 21," says Martin. "I got trapped in the friendship trap many, many times," he says. "It was like, 'I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to [sleep with].' "
He said he wanted to instead "to be the guy everybody" has sex with. Well, we don't know about everybody, but he did snag Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow. "I always felt it would be great to be with a very powerful woman because it would keep you in your place," he says. "Being married to someone very successful and very powerful basically keeps you hungry to improve. 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?" Umm… yeah. But it looks like Brad isn't for everyone! [Rolling Stone]
