Gwyneth's man still living in Brad Pitt's shadow

Coldplay frontman and Gwyneth Paltrow's husband Chris Martin has revealed that he doesn't believe that he lives up to the standard of Gwyneth's ex, Brad Pitt. While Gwyneth and Brad split up more than ten years ago and both are now happily ensconced in their relationships with their current high-profile partners, Chris says that being married to Brad's ex keeps him "hungry to improve."
"You've got to be hungry," he told Rolling Stone magazine. "If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you'd want to prove yourself, you know what I mean?"
He also confessed that he didn't have much luck with the ladies until he was in his early twenties. "I got trapped in the friendship tip many, many times. It was like, 'I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to have sex with,'" he revealed.
"I don't want to be the person that makes everybody laugh before they go off and bang. I want to be the guy that everybody bangs."
He also said that he loves the challenge of being with a strong, powerful woman like Gwyneth. "I always felt it would be great to be with a very powerful woman because it would keep you in your place," he said. "Being married to someone very successful and very powerful basically keeps you hungry to improve."
