Glen Hansard, winner of the Oscar for Best Original Song, has revealed that U2’s Bono sent him a text message congratulating him.

Hansard won the Oscar in Los Angeles on Sunday along with his partner Markéta Irglová for their song ‘Falling Slowly’, which appears in the movie, Once.

“What was really amazing for me was getting texts from family and friends, it was amazing beforehand, and then I got a text from Bono and I was like ‘Ah, my God, that’s just amazing,’” Hansard told Irish radio station, RTE.
