Bono Attends 'Beatles Movie' Premier

Bono made a surprise appearance at the premiere of a movie based on the music of The Beatles in London last night.

The U2 frontman makes a cameo in Across The Universe as a shaman called Doctor Robert and showed his support at the launch.

The film, directed by Julie Taymor, features 33 famous Beatles songs which are used to tell the story. Tracks include ‘Hey Jude’, ‘I Am The Walrus’ and ‘Get Back.’

The script was written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais – who famously wrote such television hits as Porridge and Auf Wiedersehn Pet.

Speaking to the BBC on the red carpet, Bono – real name Paul Hewson – paid tribute to The Beatles saying they “mean everything” and added "They built the road that bands like U2 travel on."
