Green Liiight....
Just like the rest of us, celeb couple Chris Martin of Coldplay and Dakota Johnson of 50 Shades fame recently tucked in to binge-watch Netflix's psychological thriller Squid Game, and -- surprise -- they had the same response as everyone else.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview, Johnson discussed how she and Martin have been watching the widely popular Korean thriller that inspired creepy Halloween displays this year, as well as some backlash regarding the banning of costumes at some schools.

Johnson described her experience with the series as "intense," and "confusingly f***ed up because it's joyful at moments and then it's horrifying. And that's a really interesting combo."
First stepping out as an item in 2017, Dakota and Chris, whom she calls her "partner" in the conversation, have been spending quality time together at their home in Malibu since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. Dakota, daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, says although she has been able to see her mom and dad, "It's been weird. If I've been working, I can't really be around my parents because they're older." Johnson adds, "but my friends and my partner, we've been together a lot, and it's great."

Martin has been out and about quite a bit in the lead up to and upon the release of Coldplay's ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, in mid-October. The band provided interactive experiences for fans, on-stage collabs, and more -- and even rocked the stage with "Sporty Spice" Mel C. at our We Can Survive concert at the end of the month.
Looking ahead into 2022, Coldplay will be hitting the road beginning in March, taking their new album to cities worldwide with a “sustainable and low-carbon” tour that will cut emissions by 50% with each show powered exclusively by renewable energy.
Now, who wants to bet on whether or not Dalgona Candy will be included in the band's rider?
