Chris Martin is a rare breed in the world of rock 'n' roll. He was educated at public school and doesn't drink, smoke or take drugs. Which could be why he has managed toattract the attention of one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
The 25-year-old Coldplay singer admitted last week that he has been out on dates with Gwyneth Paltrow, 30, who is filming in Cambridge. He insisted, however, that they weren't an item – yet.
"I'm proud to be with someone who's very nice and very beautiful but she's not my girlfriend at the moment," he told a newspaper. "I feel out of my depth with all this. I met her for the first time at our gig at Wembley two weeks ago."
During the concert the singer dedicated his band's hit In My Place to the Hollywood actress.
"It's early days," Chris explains. "I got her number, rang her and asked if she wanted to meet. We went out at the weekend and we seem to get on. We met up as friends and nothing has happened. We had a good time, though. I don't know when we're going out again."
Despite his insistence that he's "just the bloke from Coldplay", Gwyneth has confided to close friends that she finds the shy singer "inspiring".
The actress, whose previous boyfriends include Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt, recently complained that British men didn't have the courage to ask her out. Now she's reportedly planning to settle in the UK and has bought a home in Belgravia.
