The British comic star playfully strangled Coldplay star Chris when he was visiting him, but the musician's three-year-old daughter Apple didn't see the funny side.
Chris' wife Gwyneth Paltrow revealed to Britain's GQ magazine: "Simon is hilarious. When he was over the other day, he pretended to break Chris' neck and she (Apple) burst into tears. It was really funny though!"
Gwyneth insists Apple usually loves seeing Simon - who is her godfather - because he always lavishes her with gifts.
The actress - who also has a two-year-old son Moses with Chris -added: "He brings her birthday and Christmas presents, and when they get together they really talk."
Gwyneth is currently starring as Pepper Potts in new film 'Iron Man', while Chris is preparing to release Coldplay's latest album 'Viva la Vida Or Death And All His Friends' on June 12.
Simon can next be seen in 'How to Lose Friends and Alienate People' which is released later this year.
