Post Split From Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin Goes Back to Eating What he Wants
by Shannon KeirnanHis split from wife, "Iron Man" actress Gwyneth Paltrow, was only announced a few months ago, but in a recent interview with BBC Radio 2, it sounds like Martin is already relaxing his lifestyle.
When asked if 2005's Sexiest Vegetarian was still meat-free, Martin admitted, "Well, I eat meat."
He adds, "I was vegetarian for a long time, but for various reasons, I changed. My daughter has been a vegetarian since she was born, so I keep getting tempted to go back to vegetarianism, but I don't eat too much meat."
Martin says the change was a personal decision.
"The honest answer why I changed is I thought you should only eat something that you'd be able to kill. I mean, could I kill a fish? I wouldn't like it but I probably could, so I'll eat the fish. But a giraffe..."
So we've established that Martin doesn't eat giraffe?
He later joked, "I don't know why on earth we're talking about this," adding that it was going to end up on a headline somewhere.
Very astute, Martin.
Martin split from his wife recently in an "conscious uncoupling," though rumor has it that the divorce is on hold while the two try to work things out. Paltrow announced the separation on her blog, GOOP, known for being super strict regarding diet and lifestyle. Paltrow hasn't eaten red meat in 20 years.
If a reconciliation is in the works, Martin better enjoy a cheeseburger while he has the chance. Will vegetarians around the world be able to forgive him, or is the "Sexiest Vegetarian" title now tarnished beyond repair?
