Robert Downey, Jr thinks that Chris and his Coldplay mates will boost the soundtrack of his new Sherlock Holmes, because the rocker's a huge fan of the super sleuth - not because he’s making incredible hits then Rob?

The actor has revealed the Coldplay star has been offering him tips about playing Holmes on the big screen - and now he hopes Martin will add music to Guy Ritchie's much-anticipated movie. He says, "We are hoping Chris Martin of Coldplay will contribute to our score.

"He’s a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. He told me you need to be really skinny, which is always the last thing you want to hear."
