“Coldplay” frontman Chris Martin is back in the schoolyard in the band’s latest music video.
Directed by French filmmaker Cloé Bailly, the video for “Champion of the World” sees Martin as a young boy being bullied at school.
Although he is misunderstood by his family and peers, the young boy portrayed by Martin finds solace through music and dreams of outer space.
