Coldplay went on to release albums such as "A Rush of the Blood to the Head" in 2002 as well as 2005's "X&Y," solidifying them as rock super stars.

"Well, she's a good actress. I am biased but I am also right," he said of Paltrow to the Daily Mail. "'The Royal Tenenbaums' is one of her best performances."
