Law wants to play piano like Chris Martin

Jude Law has revealed that his New Year's resolution is to play the piano like Coldplay star Chris Martin.

The actor said he wanted to master a musical instrument and insisted that he was "rubbish" at the others he had tried.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I don't usually make New Year's resolutions because I try and have resolutions and ambitions all through the year.

"You know what, though, I don't know whether I'll be able to accomplish this next year but I've always wanted to learn a musical instrument well."

He added: "I play a few badly - the harmonica, saxophone and guitar - but I'm rubbish at all of them. I'd like to be able to play like Chris Martin, who I admire an awful lot."

Law claimed his goal for 2007 had been to re-make the 1972 thriller Sleuth with Sir Michael Caine, saying: “To have Michael agree, and then get Kenneth Branagh to direct definitely fulfilled my ambition for this year.”
