Chris Martin wants to be in 'The Hunger Games'. Not just because he wants to be hunted by Jennifer Lawrence, more because he's an outdoorsie sort, who enjoys whittling and bouncing around woodland in unfeasibly snug tights. Indeed you would be forgiven for thinking Chris was born in the 40s.
The 37-year-old admitted he has always enjoyed running about in the outdoors and explained that if he was a teenager now, he'd love to talk part in the fictitious game, in which people have to kill others to win a competition.The big screen version of the book just happens to star his onoffonoffonoffon-girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence - in case you've just blasted in from Mars.
Speaking about his penchant for the wilderness as a child, Chris is quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying: "I used to collect pen knives as a kid. I was into outdoor stuff and I wanted to be Robin Hood. Now I'd want to be into The Hunger Games." Fabulous work, Chris, all you've served to do is highlight the age difference and hence why Jennifer is now reportedly getting back with 24-year-old Nicholas Hoult.
The Viva La Vida musician dated the 24-year-old actress for three months following his decision to "consciously uncouple" from his estranged 42-year-old wife Gwyneth Paltrow in March.
And according to reports, Jennifer has rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Hoult after deciding to call time on her relationship with Chris in October.
A source told the Daily Star: "He's been calling her and they've been speaking regularly on Skype. Their relationship is getting closer and his family would love for them to get back together."
