Coldplay's Chris Martin: 'People Mistake Me For James Blunt'

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that people often mistake him for singer James Blunt or an insurance salesman.

The singer said a woman who works next door to the band's Bakery recording studios in London is convinced that he is a door-to-door salesman.

“She asked me the other day if I was in insurance,” he told XFM. “And if it’s not insurance or a lawyer, it’s another singer.

“The other ones I get are James Morrison and James Blunt and I always say, 'Yep!' because you should never disappoint somebody.”

Martin joked that he would rather be confused for Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill.

“If I could sing like that I’d be massive,” he said.
