The Coldplay frontman is under no illusion about where his true talent lies. He knows he can write songs and sing, but when it comes to performing on stage he sometimes loses control.
"I dance in a strange, hopping, English way - it's not technically dancing, it's more like some kind of fit,'' he admitted to talk show host Graham Norton.
The star apparently regretted making the comments not long afterwards.
After taping the program he went to play a show in London, where he was honest with the crowd about how he found it.
"To be frank I felt quite a twat doing that show,'' he stated. "I'm never doing chat shows again.''
