Undercover chatted to Irish megastar pop-rockers The Script about Bono’s daughter acting in the clip for their lead single from Science And Faith.
When we got to ask them how they managed to convince Bono’s daughter Eve Hewson to appear in the clip for ‘For The First Time’, singer Danny O’Donoghue chuckles, “I dunno, we just put it to her”.
They met through a mutual friend, Caroline Downey, in Ireland, who “just out-reached to Eve, saying ‘The lads are looking for someone to play the part of an Irish girl’ because we were looking for suggestions.”
O’Donoghue recalls, “She said, ‘She’s right right now, she’s doing things with Sean Penn, she’s just coming to Hollywood now, she’s going to be a big name.”
“We were a band on the up and up,” he says, “and she was an actress on the up and up as well and it just seemed to be a really good thing for the both of us to do together.”
“As you see, the 20-minute short, she did a fantastic job,” he says, before giving her a shout out, “Thank you very much, Eve!”
Check out the rest of the chat, where we delve into their dedicated fans, their “drinking” video clips, the expectations for their second album after such a massive debut, playing on a cruise boat and more.
