Daughter of '80s Rockstar Recalls Singer's 'Embarrassing' Moment With Emily Blunt
Even if your parent is a famous rockstar, they're still your parent, and you're going to find them cringe-worthy at times - something that actress Eve Hewson admitted to when discussing her father.
During an interview with TODAY's Savannah Guthrie, the Behind Her Eyes star revealed that her dad, U2 frontmanBono, left her less than impressed during a dinner with a celebrity guest.
The famous father and daughter duo were dining with Emily Blunt, who is co-starring alongside Hewson in the upcomingSteven Spielbergsci-fi movie Disclosure Day.
"Your father is Bono, and I heard that he was trying to chat 'alien language' with Emily Blunt," Guthrie said.
"Ah, he's such an embarrassing dad," Hewson replied. She explained that as soon as Blunt had arrived at the meal, Bono began mimicking the Jungle Cruise actress' portrayal of her Disclosure Day character.
"We had Emily over for dinner, and the minute she walked in, he started doing the alien language she does in the trailer, and I was like, 'Please stop, like, please.'"
"He's so cringe," Guthrie joked.
Hewson previously referred to the "With Or Without You" hitmaker as the "Kris Jennerof dads," comparing him to a stage dad. Jenner, known as a "momager," is the business manager of her famous children.
"He texts me reviews on things, he's very involved," Hewson said.
Disclosure Day, released on June 12 in the U.S., follows a cybersecurity expert and a local TV meteorologist who race against the clock to leak decades of classified government data, exposing years of hidden proof of extraterrestrial life.
On June 4, the much-anticipated film held its London premiere, where director Spielberg praised Hewson's talents.
"She's wonderful. I had previously worked with Eve Hewson on Bridge of Spies; she played Tom Hanks' daughter," Spielberg toldRTÉ Entertainment. "But I thought of her because I was a big fan of Bad Sisters. I thought she did extraordinary work in that. So, she got the part pretty quickly."
