Chris Martin’s Kitchen Chronicles
When the Coldplay frontman opens his kitchen on a Sunday, you’re not so sure it’s going to stay on the stove. Over the past decade, the 44‑year‑old has logged just two attempts at culinary art – both of which took a fiery detour.
Fire Brigade Catches the Flavor (and the Flames)
- First Incident: An unsuspecting dinner turned into a puff of smoke.
- Second Incident: Same scenario, same result. The fire service was there to rescue him again.
Speaking candidly, Martin tossed an acknowledgement to “the North London Fire Department” for being “there twice.” When the brigade first arrived he remarked the absurdity, “‘Did you start cooking again?’”—and he was right.
What Went Up in Smoke?
When asked whether he could remember specifics, Martin chuckled, “Um, probably pasta and toast. I said I’d cook dinner but then I got distracted by jam‑packed songwriting ideas and forgot—until I was forced to admit I’d burned the dish.”
Choir Confession: From ‘Rebellious’ to ‘Blessed’
A flashback to his school years shows what could have been a costly mistake. He was asked to leave a choir after reportedly misbehaving during music class. He views this “eviction” as a blessing, not because of the circumstances, but because it lit a fire for his future music career. “It was all meant to be,” he said.
Christmas Calendar: Uncertain, but Family‑Focused
When CNBC asked how he’d spend Christmas 2025, Martin made his voice warm and uncertain. “I’m just waiting to be told where to be,” he said, gently hinting that the holiday is spent in the presence of his children. Young Apple is 17 and Moses is just 15 – a duo that, even as adults, he regards as “cool.”
He added that the planning of the holiday largely falls to his ex‑wife, former “Apple” in the sense of the cosmetic brand, and his partner, Dakota Johnson, who he calls “really good” at keeping the celebratory vibes alive. “I just pay what I’m told to pay for, that’s all,” he laughed.
Above all, manager code-red success—some might say this is a sign that Chris Martin is an artist who knows when to walk through the fire to stay near the people who matter the most.
