Remember when U2 frontman Bono and a friend (who by the way, are both pushing 50, oh and Bono is married with four kids) were seen last September in St Tropez, canoodling with two 19-year-old bikini-clad girls? If your memory is failing you, or you never heard the story, you can read it here. I'll wait. So, now Bono explains why he likes doing such things. Or at least that's what I'm guessing he's trying to tell us.
Bono, who is married to Alison Hewson, and has four kids with her, including two daughters - Jordan 19, and Memphis Eve, 17 - is afraid his kids, particularly his girls, find him boring. Hey, that's what happens when you have kids - you might think you're still cool, but trust me, your teenagers, do not. Deal.
During a recent dinner party, in which Jay-Z and Beyonce were present, Bono overheard his teen girls talking about him, and he overheard daughter Jordan giving her opinion of him.
Bono said, "I went in to get some wine out of the fridge and I heard her talking to her friends, because she loves Jay-Z and Beyonce.
"I heard her saying, 'He's probably boring their a***s off talking about Africa.' And, actually, I think I was at the time."
He adds it's not the first time he annoyed his brood. "There was a funny moment on the last tour when there were formal objections by our kids to some of the music that was being played at the aftershow party."
I see. I get it. Not. You're clinging to that last piece of your youth, and your kids think you're boring, so why not flirt (and who knows what else allegedly went on) with girls in bikinis, who are young enough to be your daughters (and remember, you're married?) and then perhaps your kids will think you're still cool and not so boring after all. I see where he's going with the whole 'I'm fawning over girls who are scantily-clad even though I'm married, and it would probably mortify my kids but heck, I do not want anyone, including my children to think I'm boring', so I'll act inappropriate with teenage girls.
Actually, I still think it's creepy. I'd be interested to know if his wife and children have seen the pics?
