Spoiler alert: he threw wife Emily Blunt under the bus.
In addition to admitting that he's an adorkable dad on Wednesday's Ellen, Coldplay's Chris Martin revealed that he came up with a great idea for a sequel to the super-creepy 2018 horror film A Quiet Place, and he even sent it to director/star John Krasinski and his co-star/wife Emily Blunt. He surprised host Ellen DeGeneres with the story after she played an ad for the upcoming A Quiet Place: Part II sequel during the show.
“May I tell you a story? I know we didn’t tell your researchers about this but I didn’t know you were going to play that trailer,” Martin said. He told Ellen that when the movie came out he had the best idea for a joke, which he sent to Blunt and Krasinski. "This idea for the musical of A Quiet Place and it was just me like that,” he said, miming playing the piano while silently mouthing some words.
"And they never replied. So every time I see that trailer it makes me feel sick," he joked. "I thought, ‘Oh no, they must have thought I was taking the Mickey.’ I wasn’t. I loved the film!” DeGeneres assured Martin that both Blunt and Krasinski have a great sense of humor and she was certain that he'd hear back from them now.
