Chris Martin From Cold Play Punches A Journalist

Journalist Paul Reese learned the hard way that the subject of Brad Pitt is a sensitive topic for Chris Martin. Chris was telling the interviewer that he and Gwyneth Paltrow had been talking about how they have one of those silly arrangement (some couples play this game) where he would be allowed to leave her for a certain starlet or she would be allowed to leave him for the singers from Westlife. Odd choice, but that’s who she likes apparently.

Anyways..

The journalist thought that Gwen Paltrow’s choice and thinking out loud exclaimed:

“You could have at least told her Brad Pitt.”

Chris responded,

“She was engaged to him, you f***er.”

He then punched the journalist in the chest.

I can totally see why he would be jealous of Brad, but to react so violently? This isn’t the first time he acted like a jerk… I could understand if he told the guy off or even cut the interview short, especially if the journalist’s line of questioning was annoying him, but to attack him well … he needs to learn to control his temper.
