WOOD AMAZED BY ‘UNREAL’ BONO

EVAN RACHEL WOOD was blown away when BONO made his cameo appearance in new movie ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, because the U2 singer acted nothing like a rock superstar. The 19-year-old plays a young woman swept along by the world-changing 1960s and much of the movie is accompanied by famous BEATLES tracks, and a host of stars including JOE COCKER and EDDIE IZZARD make small appearances. But Wood was most taken with Bono, because she never thought he would be so friendly. She tells MTV, "(That day) was really unreal for all of us. We were very surprised by how down-to-earth he was. "He didn’t go run back to his trailer between every take; he hung out and talked with everybody."

BONO ADMIRES ARMANI’S ‘DESTINY’

U2 frontman BONO admires Italian designer GIORGIO ARMANI because he’s "in control of his own destiny". The Irish rocker has admitted a fondness for expensive clothing, including Armani’s signature ranges and denim brand Rogan – who also happen to make jeans for wife ALI HEWSON’s ethical clothing range, Edun. He says, "Giorgio Armani is my favourite designer, and I like the fact he is not owned by anyone else. He’s a 70-year-old man in control of his own destiny. "The other thing I can’t do without is Rogan jeans – they’re about GBP300 a pair, but they’re DAVID BECKHAM’s favourite."
