Bono spends a lot of time giving back and making music, but over the Summer he found some time to relax. He was snapped alongside two bikini-clad 19-year-olds on a yacht in St. Tropez, looking awfully cozy for a husband and father. The girls deny anything other than friendship and had no problem sharing these images with their Facebook friends. The photographs don't exactly reinforce his image as a serious humanitarian, so tell us — does this affect your opinion of Bono?

No its just two pics of him acting silly, so what the girls are wearing bikinis. He is NOT pawing them and kissing them. He is just posing for a pic. Bono is a good guy.
1not at all - we know the kind of guy that Bono is and i don't think that a picture is going to make me think otherwise of him. i hope that people just realize that a picture is just a picture.
2It looks like they're all just goofing around. I think Bono's already proved what a good man and husband and father he is.
3no..but if you are going to persuade us that he is being "awfully cozy" you should have pick some better pics POP..LOL
4I think this is soooooo funny! He loves to flirt i think (remember those pics with Penelope?) He jokes around a lot, I've seen an interview of him with Cat Dealey (or Deeley-don't know), his eyes were soaking in syrup, he had a hot for her
but he's a happily married man, his
wife is kind of cute
5He better be just goofing arounf cuz I like him a lot. After so many divorce news of late I dont want anymore breakup news.
6Weird. No I never really liked him anyways.
7I'm sure they're just discussing world peace and the various ways they could work together to put an end to hunger and poverty. Sequined bikinis happen to be the clothing of choice for many esteemed economists and academics.
8If Bono were my husband, I wouldn't be very pleased to see these photos. I bet those 19-year-olds are loving all the press these photos are receiving, too. Veeerrry subtle posting them all over facebook!
9Maybe that's his daughter?
10I agree with biblio... I'd be peeved if I were his wife, but i suppose there are many opportunities to be peeved when your husband is galavanting around the country without you, being a much loved rock star. Makes you wonder.
11What's the big deal? So he is goofing around!
12They just look like pics done for fun plus it is none of my business. If his wife is fine with it who am I to judge their relationship!
13go to perez for more risky pics
14they're pretty inappropriate but the girls say they've "known him for awhile" so maybe the wife also knows them and it's all fun and games
the girl is also wearing bono's hat in one of the pics
Bono is my hero. He totally looks like he's clowning around with them. I don't see anything inappropriate with the photos.
15Well since you can see a guy in shorts in the background, it looks like they are just at a backyard pool party or something and the girls asked for a photo. Wouldn't you if you saw Bono at a party?
16Bono has always rubbed me the wrong way, but I can see how these pictures might be completely innocent and just blown out of proportion. It's always difficult to understand a situation based solely on a snapshot.
17This pictures seem weird. If he was really up to no good, I doubt he'd do it in plain view of a camera.
18Never liked the guy to start with
19No, these pictures don't look THAT bad to me but then again I like really Bono so maybe I'm biased. They're in bikins because they are in St. Tropez, and it seems like they are just fans asking to take some pictures with them. If they were making out or grinding up against each other, then I would be worried.

21To be honest, he never struck me as a moral compass so my opinion of him hasn't changed... I'm just not as surprised as other people! I'm sure these are tame compared to other pictures that must exist somewhere...
22no. bono can do no wrong.
23It doesn't change my opinion of him, because I have never held him to a moral standard. A person can perform charitable acts and be a rascal in his private life.
24I should add that it's none of business.
25"If Bono were my husband, I wouldn't be very pleased to see these photos. I bet those 19-year-olds are loving all the press these photos are receiving, too. Veeerrry subtle posting them all over facebook!"
My thoughts exactly!
26it is not that bad , honestly, It could have been way worse.
27I'm pretty sure those girls knew exactly what they did by posting the pictures on their facebook page. It must be some other teenager looking for more attention.
28I do not see anything wrong in those pictures ... it seems to be more a game than anything else.
If I were them and 19 I wouldn't want anyone to see all that jelly belly in a bikini. But anyway, it's up to his wife if it offends her. I just think it looks corny and silly.
29It doesn't reverse the help he's given though.
"A person can perform charitable acts and be a rascal in his private life."lmao @vinnie. isn't jordan about their age? i am sure this affects ali in no way. he is a rock star and has been for so long, he has fans after him all the time.
30Bono's cheating habits have been widely reported...so, it's disappointing but not surprising.
31100% indifferent.
32Meh. LOok where that other guy's hand is.
33I agree Mesayme, I think it just looks corny. "Rockstar with an inflated ego and his head firmly stuck up his own ass flirts and poses with young girls in bikinis" is hardly a ground breaking concept. It's the biggest cliché going. I'm sure Ali deals with this, and worse, on a regular basis.
Californiagirl, if you follow the link it explains that one of them is a "friend" of Bono's and the other girl is her friend. They retired to The Edge's private yacht after this little photo session for more photos and whatever. If my husband had a nineteen year old female friend I would wonder why (especially if we had a daughter that age).
34What is he doing? May be he should not be there. That one pathetic girl seems to be throwing her self at him. She needs to stop. She seems very desperate.

36I don't like him to begin with so who cares
37No, he wouldn't be posing for a photo if there was something he had to hide. It's not compromising IMO.
38I would imagine it was a fairly innocuous encounter. His older daughter, Jordan is in the same age bracket. He has hugged and kissed fans on stage numerous times.
39My husband would be taking a dirt nap if I saw him doing anything remotely close to this. How disrespectful.
40Yeah, that's not just innocent fun. Why didn't they pick some ugly girls, or ones with clothes on? They are clearly two diry old men trying to re-live their younger years by flirting with cute young girls. And who is that nasty perv on the right?
41errr they're my age, dont they realise how old he is....come to think of that i think his daughter is just slightly older than them....not a good look i hope he realises he looks like a prat if he was flirting with them...
42No but I've never liked him anyway. This neither makes me dislike him more or makes me dislike him less. He just is.
43Not a U-2 fan. In fact I just found out TODAY that Bono is NOT related to Sonny Bono and is in fact the lead of U-2. Huh. Guess I'm a bit out of it. LMAO
So no, it doesn't "Change" my opinion, I never had one. LOL
44My question is who is the other guy? To me, it looks like actor Alan Rickman...you know Prof. Snape from the Harry Potter movies. Hmmm...men, they are all the same!
45ermm...not the most appropriate pics however how this ties in to his humantarian work is questionable i cant see the link??
The man may like to flirt with girls his daughters age...gross...but it doent mean he is any less for helping those in need........ANYONE SEE THE LINK?
Do you have to be a pretend saint to be viewd as a humanitarian?
This is stupid
46It could go either way..it could just be a few simple pictures, or it could be something else.
47That's between him and his wife. It's not as if his humanitarian work is dependent on a perfect private life. I don't care what he does in his spare time as long as he's not undoing all his public work.
I do find him quite holier-than-thou and if he was my husband you can bet he wouldn't forget those photos anytime soon.
48It doesn't affect my opinion of his humanitarian work but certainly makes me question his commitment to his marriage and judgment in his personal life(both are none of my business). So what am I doing on this site!?!!?!??!
49God forbid that a celebrity should take a goofy pic with a couple of fans he or she ran into on the beach.
