- Coldplay front man Chris Martin appeared on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” on Wednesday, and revealed that he’d accidentally embarrassed his daughter, 15-year-old Apple, at work.
- “My daughter works in a clothing store. It’s her first job, and she’s about to be 16, and I’m so proud of her,” Martin began, adding, “She’s making her way in the world.”
- But the musician told host Ellen Degeneres that Apple didn’t have a great reaction when he stopped in to visit her at work one day.
- “I just went to see. And I thought, ‘I better buy something.’ So I took a T-shirt from the rack and I lined up in the queue,” Martin said.
- When Apple saw her famous dad in line to check out, she got angry and mouthed “Dad, get out,” according to Martin.
- “I felt terrible, so I moved to the other line, just holding my T-shirt, and really scared of my daughter,” he joked.
- The musician said he paid for his shirt, but that he didn’t know what to do with the fudge he’d brought for Apple, who “loves candy.”
- “So I said to the lady, ‘Can you just give this to my daughter?'” Martin told Degeneres.
- Apple ended up having a change of heart, and as she was leaving, shouted out, “I love you, Dad!” according to Martin.
- Apple is Martin’s child with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he separated from in 2014 after 10 years of marriage.
