...hence my constant muttering that Elijah is the ONLY choice to play young Bono if ever a movie was made.....

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

There is kind of a reseblance, but Anybody but Elijah! Im sorry but he just.... well in my mind he is kind of a winer... Im sorry,probably nobody agrees with me. Please dont get mad.

Well, Wood has got a "nice" face (damning with faint praise), and there is a vague resemblance, but let's look closely at each distinct facial feature: Bono's face is markedly stronger in every sense: the eyes are enormously more intense, the nose is more pronounced and full of character, the mouth is wider and way more sensual, the chin is more dramatic and masculine. But even more importantly is the overall emotional impact of each respective face. Wood projects a mood of vaguely troubled weepiness; Bono projects a mood that is intense, confused, committed, wise, yet naive at the same time (my god, those eyes!) It's an enormously complex face, even at that age.
This is like comparing a child's pudding cup with an elaborate gourmet dinner. (Sorry, that's harsh; it's been a long work week.)
But actually, to be really petty, even his hair is better!

IMO the big difference is:

Wood looks like a boy ,
Bono looks like a man!!

I don't see it, but I can see how he could be fixed up to play him in a movie. But he looks so babyfied you'd have to change actors for older Bonos.

All I know is that Daniel Day Lewis should play him from J-Tree era on.

Patrick Swayze would make a good War-UF Bono. But he's too old now.
