I just read in the 'crazy family stories about U2' thread that someone's mom thought Bono looked 57 years old. This brings up an interesting fact: of all the friends and family I've talked to about this subject (I don't introduce the topic, it just comes up in conversation somehow, usually from one of them reading an article that lists Bono's age), ALL of them think Bono looks older than he actually is. I remember when ATYCLB came out, my mom was watching a recent U2 performance and said,
"How old is Bono?"
"40," I say.
"Wow, he looks about my age," she responds. (She was 48 at the time)
"Yeah, he does look a bit older, I guess."
"But the guitarist....The Edge, is he called? He looks really good for his age. He could pass for mid-thirties. In fact, all of the guys look younger than Bono. Edge looks the best, though." (I don't think she could see Larry behind the kit...that's my only guess!)
So here's the poll: Pretending you don't know his real age - If you had to guess Bono's age solely by looking at recent pictures and video of him, how old would you say he is?
