How many of you know of a British comedian named Chris Martin?
Kudos to those who do.
The ones who don’t – well, welcome to the club.
Saturday’s Coldplay concert and Chris Martin (the singer, of course) was enough to drive thousand of overly-excited people to the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai.
While many went back home, tagging Coldplay on their Twitter handles, a few others made an honest mistake – they tagged the wrong Chris Martin.
Being true to form, Martin (the comedian, folks) used this as a plank to make jokes, all in good British humour.
How could his Twitter bio not reflect the amusement?
On being questioned about whether he feels “proud” to share the same name as the singing legend, Martin came up with another quip.
Free Passes, Sachin?
He even tweeted to Sachin Tendulkar, asking him for tickets of the next text match.
