Chris Martin revealed he only eats one meal a day, a move he learned from The Boss.
“Actually, I don’t eat dinner anymore. I stop eating at 4, and I learned that from lunch with Bruce Springsteen,” the Coldplay frontman told Conan O’Brien on his Conan Needs a Friend podcast this week. The comedian had asked the musician what it was like to have dinner with his heroes.

“I was on a really strict diet anyway, but I was like, ‘Bruce looks even better than me,’ and [his wife] patty [Scialfa] said, ‘He only eats one meal a day,’ so I thought, ‘Well, here we go, that’s my next challenge.’”
