Apple Martin looks to be following in the footsteps of her famous mother as she looks to launch a directing career.

Apple, whose parents are famous actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, looks to turn her hand to directing behind the camera amid reports that Apple is leading the crew on a theatre production at her college at Vanderbilt University.

At present, Apple is to graduate with a degree in law, history and society in May. But it appears she is gaining more experience as a director.

On social media, she shared a few stage photos over "best weekend, best people, best org, best memories" before her college added: "Miss Director couldn't have said it better". 


Prior to this, Apple also spoke to Interview magazine about her love of theatre, saying that she loves it "more than anything". 

"I would love to do theatre because I adore it so much. I’ve obviously never done film before, but I’ve been trying to get involved in student films. I was born a theatre kid", Apple continued.

She also went on to say in another interview that having initially wanted to pursue law, she later changed her mind.

"I was in that rebellious "I don't wanna be like my parents" type of phase", she explained.

"I don't wanna be a singer. I like musical theatre, but getting onstage by yourself to sing is so terrifying", she added when asked about not wanting to follow in her famous dad's footsteps. "I love dancing, and I love acting. My dream is to act". 

Back in December, Apple's father Chris Martin surprised a couple on their wedding day by performing during their first dance.

The wedding took place at Blithfield Lakeside Barns in Rugeley, Staffordshire on December 13 with Martin treating the stunned couple to a live performance of 'All My Love' from Coldplay's 2024 album, 'Moon Music'. 

See footage of this below.

This happened after Coldplay were contacted by the groom's mother in the hope that they would receive a video of the singer wishing the couple all the best ahead of the big day, to which Coldplay replied "We can do one better", and promised to show up on their big day. Footage shows Chris Martin sneaking into the venue incognito, before telling guests "See you later", and quickly leaving.
