Martin’s 11-year-old daughter, Apple, predicted the meme storm days before her dad performed the biggest show of his career. “She said, ‘How are you feeling about the Super Bowl?’ I said, ‘Of course we’re a little bit nervous,” Martin recalled during an interview with CBS News. “She said to me, ‘Dad, the worst that could happen is that you’ll get turned into a meme…and after a month or so people will just forget!”

Chris Martin kind of looks like the guy who sings with the band at his own wedding.
