A lot has changed for Chris Martin since his “conscious uncoupling” from Gwyneth Paltrow.
“Well, I eat meat,” the former world’s sexiest vegetarian, 37, told Britain’s Steve Wright in an interview on BBC Radio 2. “I was vegetarian for quite a long time and for various reasons I changed.”
It seems as if his split from Paltrow, 41, may have something to do with the change in his eating habits.
“I felt like you should only eat something that you would be able to kill,” the Coldplay singer explained. “I don’t know why on earth we’re talking about this. I have got to stop talking or there’ll be some sort of headline. Could you kill a fish? I wouldn’t like it but I probably could, so I’ll eat a fish … or a giraffe.”
Even though he’s having some meat here and there, he sometimes wants to retreat to his old ways. “My daughter (Apple, 10) has been a vegetarian since she was born. So, I keep getting tempted to go back, but I don’t eat very much meat.”
Paltrow’s strict diet has been making headlines for years. She’s famously intolerant of gluten, dairy and chicken eggs.
In her 2013 cookbook “It’s All Good,” Paltrow explained she doesn’t feed her kids a number of things. “Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we’re left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs,” she wrote.
