To the untrained eye, Coldplay’s Christ Martin is the insufferable, fair trade-spruiking frontman of the blandest band in Middle (of the road) Earth. A vanilla uber-celebrity with an equally as annoying spouse named Gwyneth and a daughter named after a piece of fruit. But c’mon guys, Chris Martin is actually pretty likeable.
Yes, despite the mopey film clips, stadium ready falsetto and military regalia he’s likeable because he has a sense of humour. Take Martin’s recent Simpsons debut for example. The jokes are self-deprecating and as fans of Ricky Gervais’ hilarious “Extras” will attest – Martin pulls it off well. Never forget, a sense of humour is the thin white line that separates Chris Martin and Bono on the douche spectrum.
