Chris Martin didn't say it was easy. Just ask the two people he blasted into an internet mess
Questions are definitely being asked about a viral 'kiss cam' moment from a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts this week.
The group was performing 'The Jumbotron Song,' when the camera turned a man and woman cuddling as they watched the stage. The two quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces, with the man ducking down, when they noticed they were on a giant screen at the venue.
'Whoa, look at these two,' Martin quipped. 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.'
CNN has not verified the identities of the man and woman, but the video had people on social media speculating about who they are and their relationship status.
CNN has reached out to a representative for Coldplay for comment.
It is far from the first time a kiss cam has led to a tricky situation.
Last October, singer Olivia Rodrigo asked a pair in the audience at her Sydney, Australia concert, 'Would you guys give us a kiss on the Shots Cam?' only to have the man yell back, 'She's my sister!'
Yikes.
'She's your sister? Oh s**t! Oh s**t,' Rodrigo responded. 'Never mind, never mind, scrap that. Oh god, that hasn't happened before.'
The man, Tom Santo, posted video of the incident on TikTok.
Sorry to disapoint you @Olivia Rodrigo but that would be my sister. If anyone has other POVs please send them to me if you can! #oliviarodrigo #gutsworldtour #kisscam #sydney #gutssydney #gutssydnetnight1 #kisscamgonewrong #gutstour 'Sorry to disappoint you @Olivia Rodrigo but that would be my sister,' Santo wrote in the caption.

His mom appeared less than pleased.
Just a reminder that while 'kiss cam' crowd shots pass quickly, the internet is forever.

Ichiro cracks jokes, shares wisdom and calls out lone voter in National Baseball Hall of Fame speech
All-Star right fielder and Seattle Mariners legend Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. But even as Ichiro was awarded the honor alongside CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner, it was his speech that stole the show. Ichiro, who typically gave interviews in his native Japanese throughout his career, opted to speak in English when addressing the crowd in Cooperstown. In his speech, the outfielder shared some wisdom, and dropped plenty of jokes. One of the best parts of Ichiro's speech was a reference to the lone Hall of Fame voter who kept him from being a unanimous selection. At the time, Ichiro joked that he wanted to invite that writer over to "have a drink together" and "a good chat." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] On Sunday, Ichiro listed out some of his impressive statistics, saying that the achievements were "recognized by the writers." "Well, all but of one of you," he added, referencing the voter, whose identity is still unknown. "And by the way, the offer for that writer to have dinner at my home has now expired." During the speech Ichiro referred to himself as a "rookie" for third time in his career, noting his origins with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan and Mariners, with whom he made his MLB debut at age 27. The outfielder mentioned some of the Hall of Famers gathered on stage for the ceremony — 52 in total. "I am 51 years old, so easy on the hazing," he joked to those Hall of Famers. The humor continued, as Ichiro also got in a good dig at the Miami Marlins, who he played for from 2015-2017. "Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015, I had never heard of your team," Ichiro said, earning a hearty laugh from the crowd. Later, Ichiro got in a stellar, full-throttled impression of Mariners broadcast Rick Rizzs. But much of the outfielder's speech was very heartfelt. In between jokes, Ichiro thanked the Mariners for bringing him to the league, and thanked former pitcher Hideo Nomo, the first Japanese player to relocate to MLB, for his "courage" and for paving the way. Ichiro also offered some advice, speaking about his own mentality heading into the league, and learning to focus on your best self. "If you consistently do the little things, there's no limit to what you can achieve," Ichiro said. "Look at me. I'm 5'11, and 170 pounds. When I came to America, many people said I was too skinny to compete with bigger major leaguers. ... But I knew that if I stuck to my beliefs about preparation, I could overcome the doubts, even my own. "I have been asked, 'what is the best thing you can do for your team?' My answer is, taking responsibility for yourself," he added. "When you go home at night and wonder why you didn't get a hit, or you didn't make a catch, the honest answer is not because a great pitcher beat you, or the sun was in your eyes. It's because there was something you could have done better." Ichiro finished the speech by saying that he had not heard of Cooperstown until he visited for the first time in 2001, and began to understand the scope of the honor. "Being here today sure is like a fantastic dream," Ichiro said, in conclusion. Ichiro, Sabathia and Wagner will now be enshrined in Cooperstown, as well as Dick Allen and Dave Parker, who were voted in by the Classic Baseball Era committee.

Adam Sandler Pays Tribute To Late Co-Star With Subtle Easter Egg In ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
Adam Sandler paid tribute to his former on-screen son, the late Cameron Boyce, in his new movie 'Happy Gilmore 2' six years after Boyce died. After the comedy sequel released on Netflix Friday, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Boyce, who starred as Sandler's son in 'Grown Ups,' appeared on a TV in the background of one scene. The footage playing on the TV during the scene was seemingly from an episode of Disney Channel's 'Jessie,' which Boyce starred in from 2011 to 2015. Boyce died in his sleep at age 20 in 2019, according to a statement from his family. An autopsy later revealed that the young actor died as a result of an ongoing epileptic condition. Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, gushed over Sandler's touching easter egg dedicated to the late Disney star. Reps for Sandler and Netflix didn't immediately respond to HuffPost's requests for comment. Sandler also honored Boyce in the 2020 Netflix comedy 'Hubie Halloween.' Boyce was set to star in the film before he died. 'In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE,' the on-screen tribute shown during the film's credits read alongside a photo of Boyce. 'Gone way too soon and one of the kindest, coolest, funniest, and most talented kids we knew. You live on forever in our hearts and are truly missed every day.' Following Boyce's death in 2019, Sandler reportedly remembered the young actor as 'the nicest, most talented, and most decent kid around' in a post on X. 'Loved that kid. Cared so much about his family. Cared so much about the world,' the director added. 'Thank you, Cameron, for all you gave to us. So much more was on the way. All our hearts are broken. Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences.' Related...
