Chris Martin says Coldplay’s “handsome” bass player Guy Berryman is the reason why the band have achieved such huge record sales.
Speaking to Blender, Martin said that, unlike Berryman, the rest of the band have to try and “stay thin” to remain cool.
"My entire life is spent trying to push him forward at photo shoots. He's our packaging... He's a handsome bastard,” Martin said.
“None of us pretend that if he wasn't in the band we'd be as popular. He's responsible for all our calendar sales."
Coldplay’s latest album ‘Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends’ has already sold over a million copies in the US, where it currently holds the number one spot.
