The Gorgeous Chris [love]

He is very like his friend, Chris Martin, lead singer of Coldplay. Both are given to serious introspection, both describe themselves as unreconstructed ‘geeks’, both have an air of the eternal student about them and both are comfortable and confident talking about emotions.
They have been friends for more than a decade.
Pegg is godfather to Chris and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter, Apple. He has performed on stage with Coldplay, armed with his trusty harmonica.
He grins: ‘That was incredible. I got to experience what it is to be a world-famous rock star. And Chris got a kick out of the fact that he could give me that experience, let me share it.
‘He’s one of the most decent people I know. He has this compulsion to make other people feel better.
'He is incapable of tolerating other people’s unhappiness. I’ve never seen Chris walk past a homeless person without giving him a wad of cash. He’ll give them £40, £60, whatever’s in his pocket.
'And he has to deal with a lot of hate. He’s someone I have a massive amount of respect for.’
Pegg won’t comment on Martin and Paltrow’s conscious uncoupling or recoupling. But he feels as protective about Paltrow as Martin.
‘There is a lot of mean-spirited bull**** talked. People make judgements when they don’t know her and it’s all just c***.’
