Dad was like, 'No, no, no' but I just had to take up acting

 

 

Bono’s girl Eve talks exclusively to Chrissie Russell about her famous family, money, internet trolls and her hunky co-star Sean Penn

 

 

Eve Hewson was basking in the glow of rave reviews for her first big movie this week. But the joy of acting and the heady world of the red carpet aren't the only reasons she's in the film business.

 

There's another, quite practical explanation why Bono's daughter is so dedicated to her acting career.

 

"I don't get handed money -- and I never will," she says. "I have to work!"

 

Finding work should be a lot easier for the 20-year-old actress thanks to her stellar performance alongside Hollywood A-lister Sean Penn in This Must Be The Place, due in cinemas in a few weeks.

 

Sadly, the young star isn't at home in Dublin to enjoy the buzz. After two years studying acting at New York University, she's hoping to finish her course ahead of schedule -- but that means buckling down and focusing on college work from now until the end of summer.

 

When her parents, the U2 frontman and his wife Ali, stay in New York they go to their multimillion-dollar duplex penthouse in the exclusive San Reno building on Manhattan's Upper West Side.

 

By contrast, Eve's current home is a small apartment near NYU that she shares with a fellow undergrad. Her parents' pad is off- limits to the student and her pals.

 

"We're not allowed to stay there," she says wryly.

 

Her dad might be one of the world's wealthiest rock stars but his daughter is no spoilt little rich girl.

 

In her first in-depth interview with an Irish newspaper ahead of her movie's launch later this month, Eve explains why she felt compelled to pursue acting against her parents' wishes, how cut-throat the industry can be and just what it means to have Bono as a dad.

 

If they wanted to, the Hewson clan could all put their feet up and not have to worry about earning a cent for several generations to come.

 

But according to Eve, Bono's younger girl, the chances of this happening with her wealthy family are just as unlikely as they are for the rest of us cash-poor mortals.

 

"It would be impossible for any of us to just sit back, relax and be rich. That's not who we are," she says laughing.

 

"I don't talk about money with my parents and I'm not the child who gets everything I want.

 

"My parents have been great about keeping us disciplined and making us work for what we want.

 

"We're lucky that we get to travel places and we enjoy going out and having fun -- but I don't get handed money and I never will. I have to work."

 

So, no danger of the Killiney-reared Eve living off daddy's money, like an Irish Paris Hilton?

 

She laughs again: "In my family I would never dare to think of being Paris Hilton! And to me that doesn't look like a happy existence -- it's just not who I am."

 

It's 2.45pm in New York and Eve is between theatre classes at New York University, grabbing a bite to eat with one hand and fielding our interview via phone with the other.

 

As yet, she's the only one of her siblings to follow Bono into the entertainment business.

 

Older sister, 22-year-old Jordan, starred alongside her in the 2005 indie flick, Lost and Found, but is now studying at Columbia while brothers Elijah and John are still at primary school.

 

Taking up acting was a surprising move for Eve, given how vocal her mother has been about wanting her children to avoid the limelight.

 

Ali once described showbiz life as "tough and lonely and not what you want for your child".

 

Behind the scenes, Bono was just as vociferous in his desire for Eve to stay away from performing.

 

"Both my parents were against it," she says.

 

"It's because they know that world and it's really hard. For a young female, especially, it's excruciating.

 

"The rejection is awful, the competition is terrifying and you're constantly up and down.

 

"My parents knew that, because they know actors and they know that world, so when I decided this was what I wanted to do, they were like 'no, no, no, please no!' I had to really fight for it."

 

But Eve persevered and signed up to New York University determined to prove her acting bug wasn't just a flash in the pan. After almost three years of acting classes, theatre production, theatre design and academic studies, she hopes to graduate this year, leaving her free to pursue acting full-time.

 

"There were times when I wondered if I was doing the right thing, studying when I could have been going to auditions. But it was important to me to train and know what I was doing," she explains.

 

"I didn't want to just finish school and run off to LA, because I knew people would be watching me.

 

"I knew there would be doors open to me just because of where I'm coming from, and I didn't want to get opportunities and then f**k them up. I didn't want to suck."

 

She's well aware that being 'Bono's daughter' carries its own perks and pitfalls.

 

"It's great because more casting directors and directors want to meet me," she admits. "But whether it's because of my dad or who I am, it's up to me to make the most of those meetings and be the actor they're looking for.

 

"That's the thing about acting -- you can't fake it. If you're up there on the screen saying those lines and you're bad, then you're bad and no director is going to sacrifice his movie and cast me in it just because he wants to meet my dad. No great director that I would want to work with, anyway."

 

She's surprisingly frank and less guarded than you might expect from someone who has grown up surrounded by fame.

 

Her recent years in the States have given her accent a transatlantic tone, but while she's slightly more confident and self-assured than your average 20-year-old, she's not arrogant.

 

Nor is she such a celebrity in the making that she wasn't star-struck at working alongside Academy award winners Sean Penn and Frances McDormand in This Must Be The Place.

 

Directed by Paolo Sorrentino and due for release on March 23, the movie sees Eve cast as skateboarding goth Mary, a troubled, tattooed teen who befriends ageing rocker Cheyenne (Penn) as he travels from Dublin to America following the death of his father.

 

Penn's performance, heavily influenced by The Cure frontman Robert Smith, was critically acclaimed at the recent Sundance festival, with Eve garnering praise for her commitment and dedication to her role.

 

"It was such a moment in my life to be able to say I was Sean Penn's co-star," she enthuses. "He was amazing to work with."

 

In her previous movie, The 27 Club, she also played the young foil to an ageing rocker -- is she carving out a niche?

 

"No, I'm not trying to make my next movie based on a music legend," she replies. "When This Must Be The Place came along it didn't matter to me that it was a rock and roll film and that people would make connections to my dad.

 

"It was just such an incredibly beautiful script that there was no way I was saying no to it just because of what people might say."

 

But there are of course people with plenty to say.

 

"The negative stuff is mostly on the internet, which I don't read. Except on very sad days," admits Eve. "People say awful things, but you can't listen to it, it's not personal."

 

Her growing profile means she's sure to come in for greater scrutiny. Already her appearance is being monitored, with youth fashion bible Teen Vogue heralding her as "one to watch" thanks in part to her Chanel debut on last year's Cannes red carpet.

 

There's also a celebrity boyfriend, James Lafferty (26), from the hit US show One Tree Hill, who is reported to have been dating the actress for over a year.

 

Despite the occasional tweet -- most recently about her boyfriend's ill- thought-out Valentine's treat of cupcakes when she's allergic to gluten -- her relationship is one area Eve won't be drawn on and questions are met with a polite but firm "I'm not talking about him".

 

She sees herself staying in America post-graduation because it's where her agent is, where work is and she's not bothered by photographers.

 

"No one knows who I am and no-one cares. I could jump in front of a camera man and he'd just tell me to get out of the way."

 

But Eve says she misses Dublin and looks forward to being able to make more trips home once college is over.

 

For the moment, she has to rush off to an afternoon class. Before she leaves I want to clear up a mystery. For years the press referred to her as 'Memphis Eve' but recently 'Memphis' has vanished -- is it a re-branding exercise?

 

"No, I think people have always got that wrong," she says slowly. "I get called Memphis Eve but my first name is Eve. I know Memphis is in there somewhere but on my passport I'm Eve Sunny Day Hewson."

 

She pauses. "That doesn't really clear it up, does it? I'm as confused as you are, I should probably check that out.

 

"How funny, I don't know my own name . . . !"

 

She might not, but I suspect the rest of the world soon will.

U2's Bono provides character reference for Courtney Love's new house

 

 

U2's Bono wrote a character reference for Courtney Love so she could rent a new house, according to reports.

 

In an interview with the New York Daily News, the Hole rocker revealed that she had turned to the singer to help bolster her application for a new Manhattan condo.

 

Love, who was involved in a much-publicised legal dispute with her old landlady, said that she hadn't been asked to provide a credit-check but had been asked to provide some character references, adding: They chose Bono. He wrote a paragraph.

 

Although it has not been revealed what the U2 main man penned, Love was eager to dispel the image of her as a difficult tenant.

"I've never gotten a noise complaint. It sounds really lame, being a rock star and all. But I haven't," she said, before correcting herself by adding: "That's not true. I did get one once, when I was living on the sixth floor of the Mercer [Hotel]. I was watching that movie with Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler [Just Go With It]. The person next-door called and complained it was too loud."

 

In January of this year, a judge refuted claims made by Love's old landlady that the singer hadn't paid her rent. However, he made no judgement on allegations that she had damaged the property by wallpapering and painting over its walls.

 

Last month, meanwhile, Love responded to reports that she killed her daughter's pet cat by insisting it was eaten by a mountain lion. The claims, which were made by Frances Bean Cobain when filing for a restraining order against her mother, are featured in the new ebook Courtney Comes Clean, but Love's lawyer claimed that the allegations were false and that they were looking to take legal action over leaked confidential court documents.

Remember this quote about Courtney Love? :lol:

 

"I met Courtney Love and she said she'd like to sleep with me, but couldn't because of my pop star thing. So I said I couldn't sleep with her either because of the ugly thing."

 

 

 

Now who said that? :P

Zeta-Jones star-struck by Bono

 

 

Even though the Welsh beauty can remember the 'One' singer and his band U2 from before they got famous in the 80s, she still gets excited by his stardom when they see one another.

 

She said: "I remember seeing U2 when they were just an Irish band before they made it big and it blows my mind that Bono says, 'Hi Catherine, how are you doing?' I'm like, 'Oh my God, it's Bono!'"

 

Catherine, 42, has children Dylan, 11, and Carys, seven, with her husband, Michael Douglas, and admits she has to pull herself together when she takes them to Bono's house at Halloween.

 

She added: "I can clearly remember going trick or treating with my kids to Bono's house. I had to be really grown up and get it together."

 

The 'Rock of Ages' actress embarked on a pop career of her own in the early 90s, releasing several singles but she has no plans to resurrect her pop career.

 

She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "It'll go down historically and there's going to be a movie made out of that era too. It was a world that was just fascinating to me but I definitely prefer acting."

We recently reported on U2 bassist Adam Clayton suing the Bank of Ireland and an accountancy firm, claiming damages after his former assistant allegedly "misappropriated" €4.8 million ($6.3 million) of funds. In fact, the assistant is believed to be charged with 184 counts after complaints from Clayton.

 

Meanwhile, U2 continue to prepare an album to follow 2009's "No Line On The Horizon".

Bono From U2 To Become A Billionaire From Facebook

 

 

 

 

If relatively unknown painters can become millionaires, then Bono with his smart investment choices can certainly become a billionaire. In 2009, the rockstar paid up $90 million and bought himself a 1% stake in Facebook. Since then he was content to sit back and let things run their course. In merely three years, his investment has reached gargantuan proportions.

 

 

 

Given that experts have valued Facebook to the tune of $100 Billion, simple maths tells us that a 1% stake will make U2’s Bono a billionaire and thus the richest rock star on the planet. Not even Sir Paul McCartney (of the Beatles fame) would be close to such a fortune given that his wealth is estimated at about $700 million only.

 

 

 

We suspect a lot of similar stories to emerge once Facebook goes public. It is going to be fun to read about these and hope that we all get a chance to make one such life changing investment one day.

Imagine having 90 million to invest in 1% :mellow:

Attempt To Ambush Bono Backfires On ‘Gotcha Style’ Journalist

 

 

An attempt to ambush Bono about the move of U2′s business interests from Ireland to a tax haven has backfired on a conservative gotcha style journalist when he failed to realise the man he was talking to was actually an impersonator.

 

Pretending to be a fan in search of an autograph, Jason Mattera, who according to Spin is well known in the United States for ambushing ‘liberal’ celebrities, fires off a number of confrontational questions apparently unaware that he isn’t talking to the famous U2 frontman.

 

In the video he chastises Bono (aka impersonator Pavel Sfera) for U2’s attempt to avoid paying taxes in Ireland. “By dodging taxes on royalties, are you raiding the poverty programs you purport to champion?” he asks fake-Bono who replies simply ‘No’.

 

“Don’t you want governments to be generous with other people’s money and not yours?” he fires back at fake-Bono who returns “I don’t have control of that”.

 

It isn’t clear exactly when Sfera realises the reporter thinks he is the actual Bono but luckily for us he appears to follow along although he does drop a few hints in his answers to Mattera’s questions.

 

Mr. Mattera: You didn’t? Your company did it.

Mr. Sfera: I didn’t do it…. I don’t have control over that….

Mr. Mattera: How do you not have control over that? It’s your company.

Mr. Sfera: It’s not my company.

Mr. Mattera: You’re not in charge of your own company?

Mr. Sfera: It’s not my company.

Mr. Mattera: You have no say in what U2 does?

Mr. Sfera: Not particularly.

Mr. Mattera: You don’t? You don’t have a say in what U2 does?

Mr. Sfera: No.

 

Unfortunately for Mattera, but hilariously for us, he didn’t realise his mistake, even though the impersonator didn’t even bother to answer in an Irish accent, and after visiting the editing suite promptly posted the video online proudly boasting of catching the singer off guard.

 

Even though Mr. Sfera insists, “I wasn’t pretending to be Bono,” Mr. Mattera told the conservative media who ran with the story on to retract it “I got punked. I thought I got Bono. I didn’t. I got his impersonator apparently. Hats off to him. He got me — and how!”

 

Enjoy the hilarity thanks to the magic of Youtube below.
