Simon Pegg | Apple Martin – Chris Martin’s Daughter

Apart from being British, what do the Coldplay singer and Shaun of the Dead co-writer have in common? If their relationship is any indication, they have a lot in common. Fans may not realize it, but Chris Martin and Simon Pegg have been close friends for years. When Chris and Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple was born, they asked a close friend to be her godfather. However, not many children are fortunate enough to have a well-known actor such as Simon play their part.

When their daughter was born, Simon and his wife, Maureen McCann, returned the favor. Pegg’s daughter, Matilda, has Chris as a godfather, and he even performed a song dedicated to her. Simon also claimed that taking pastries to Apple and Moses Martin was one of his favorite things to do, because what are godparents for if not to help kids sneak a little junk food? Martin and Pegg’s degree of friendship is undeniable, and it appears that they will remain friends for the rest of their lives.
