Chris Martin has revealed he only eats one meal a day after being inspired by Bruce Springsteen.
The 46-year-old Coldplay frontman stops eating at 4pm every day, meaning he’s skipping dinner after seeing the 73-year-old singer was in “even better shape” than him last year.
Chris said on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast: “Actually, I don’t eat dinner anymore. I stop eating at four, and I learned that from lunch with Bruce Springsteen.
“I was lucky enough to go there for lunch the day after we played Philadelphia last year. I was on a very strict diet anyway.
“But I was like, ‘Bruce looks even better than I do’ and Patti [Bruce’s wife] said he only eats one meal a day. I thought, ‘Well, here we go. That is my next challenge.”

Chris joked his only meal of the day was “buffalo flank with steroid sauce.”
In 2021, the singer admitted he’d only cooked twice in the past 10 years – and set the kitchen on fire both times.
He told BBC Radio 2: “I’m not a great chef. I have cooked twice in the last 10 years and both times the fire brigade came and I would like to say thank you to them at North London Fire Brigade who rescued me twice. The second time they came and said, “Have you cooked again?”
When asked what he burned, he admitted: “Um, um, pasta and toast because I said I was going to cook dinner but then I got distracted and I was working on a song and then I forgot until, anyway !”
In 2016, Chris announced that he was following the 6:1 diet, where he ate six days a week but fasted on the seventh day by drinking water.
He told Fresh 102.7: “I fast once a week, yes, one day a week.
“This guy said to me, ‘Try not to eat for a day and your body will feel healthier,’ and I did and found I could sing a little bit better, and I was so grateful for food too .”
Chris celebrated his 46th birthday earlier this month with his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 50, who called him the “cutest father and friend” on his birthday.

The GOOP founder was spotted with little makeup and nerd glasses on as she leaned her head on Chris Martin in a parking lot.
The Oscar-winning actress wished her ex-spouse, who she “consciously broke up with” in 2014, a happy 46th birthday.
And the Shakespeare In Love star has gushed about her former flame, to whom she was married from 2003 to 2016.
“Happy Birthday to the sweetest dad and friend❤️ we love you Cajm,” she said in her caption.
The stars also have two children together: 18-year-old Apple and 16-year-old Moses.
In March 2014, the couple separated.
Paltrow and Martin shocked fans when they announced their split in a post on the GOOP website titled “Conscious Uncoupling.”
“It is with hearts filled with sadness that we have decided to separate,” the couple wrote.
But since that split, they appear to have become close friends, even vacationing together with her new husband Brad Falchuk and his love interest Dakota Johnson, daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson.
In 2019, Gwyneth said that she and Chris should always be together.

The duet actress told The Evening Standard: “We broke up for a year before announcing we were splitting up.
“We’ve kept it very quiet, and during that time I’ve asked adult friends with divorced parents what they remember.
“There was this resounding theme: ‘It was really tough because my parents didn’t speak to each other for the first two years. It was awful for a while” or “My parents hated each other.”
‘And I was like, ‘I’d really like to skip that part.’ These children felt they were constantly cheating on one parent by dating the other.
