U2 frontman Bono put in a surprise appearance on the red carpet at the UK premiere of musical flick, Across The Universe.
The rocker makes his first acting debut in the movie, which features hit songs from the Beatles.
The musician spoke of his opportunity to make the cameo and his admiration for the film’s director Julie Taymor.
“I wanted to learn from her. The fact she let me go and play with her actors shows she’s not 100 per cent sound, but we got away with it,” he said.
The movie is set in the 60s and tells the story of two star-crossed lovers who get caught up in the anti-war movement, set to the soundtrack of Hey Jude, I Am The Walrus, and All You Need is Love.
Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess star in the film, written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
Director Taymor revealed she held a private screening of the film for Sir Paul McCartney, which went down well with the Beatle.
She said: “He was very generous and complimentary.”
