One week after Gwyneth Paltrow sparked backlash over her intermittent fasting diet, ex-husband Chris Martin has revealed his own strict wellness regimen.
“I actually don’t have dinner anymore,” the Coldplay frontman, 46, said during a Monday, March 20, episode of the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast. “I stop eating at 4 [p.m.] and I learned that from having lunch with Bruce Springsteen.”
The England native added: “I was lucky enough to go over there to lunch the day after we played Philadelphia last year. I was on a really strict diet anyway. But I was like, ‘Bruce looks even more in shape than me’ and Patti [Scialfa, his wife] said he’s only eating one meal a day. I was like, ‘Well, there we go. That’s my next challenge.’”
The “Fix You” singer — who made a surprise appearance at one of the 73-year-old singer’s live shows in June 2022 — later joked that his sole meal of the day consists of a “flank of buffalo with a steroid sauce.”
Martin’s wellness comments come nearly one week after the 50-year-old Shakespeare in Love star’s own minimal diet made headlines.
“I eat dinner early in the evening. I do a nice intermittent fast,” Paltrow — who split from the rocker in 2014 — said during a March appearance on Dr. Will Cole’s “The Art of Being Well” podcast. “I usually eat something [at] about 12. And in the morning, I’ll have some things that won’t spike my blood sugar. So, I have coffee. But I really like soup for lunch. I have bone broth for lunch a lot the days [sic].”
She continued at the time: “I try to do one hour of movement, so I’ll either take a walk, or I’ll do Pilates, or I’ll do my [workout with celebrity trainer] Tracy Anderson. I dry brush, and I get in the sauna. So, I do my infrared sauna for 30 minutes. And
