Penelope Cruz and Bono: Mutual Admiration Society
Quick! Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.
Does the sight of the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and the U2 singer, without the missus, holding hands cause someone to raise his left eyebrow? Is Penelope Cruz Bono’s latest apple of the eye? Are they really lovers? How about Bono’s wife for 25 years Ali Hewson? Are they now separated?
Surely, these questions would come into a person’s mind. We heard Bono sang about his wife and his little family. Has Penelope replaced Ali as his “Sweetest Thing”?
According to Ms Cruz, Bono is her “hero” and admits that she in awe of the singer’s commitment to save the world. The two were allegedly seen strolling down the beautiful and trendy resort of St. Tropez where they reportedly holding hands. Bono’s wife Ali was nowhere in sight. Officially, Bono and his family owns a villa in Alpes-Maritimes, which they shared with U2 band mate The Edge.
“He is so powerful yet so human. Seeing him investing all his time and effort is something to admire. He’s changing the world.”
Not only the two shared some cosy walks but the actress partied with the rocker last week in the noted French Riviera causing some wild rumours to spark.
Yet the two weren’t alone. Bono and Penelope shared a yacht with Helena Christensen among others. Also on board are Bono’s daughters, Memphis Eve and Jordan.
Bono’s significant other Ali commented in 2002 about her relationship with the singer saying that theirs is based on “mutual respect”:
“When he’s garbled and broken I help put him back together and he does the same for me.”
Like Bono, the less than photographed Ali also shares her husband’s passion: political and environmental activism. Recently she also added fashion entrepreneurship to her sleeve launching her own line of clothing. I wonder if her achievements yet Plain Jane looks isn’t enough for the singer.
Bono and the actress have a lot of of explaining to do.
