Dubya and best mate Bono – the ultimate odd couple

ODD couples don’t come any more unlikely than this pair! Here, posing proudly together like proper besties, are trendy liberal and rock legend Bono and former President George W. Bush, veteran of the American right.

The two were hanging out at Bush’s ranch in Texas after he invited the rocker along to talk about how they could work together on projects in Africa. Dubya, who has long been interested in Africa, gushed: ‘Bono is the real deal. He has a huge heart and a selfless soul, not to mention a decent voice.’

The star was hardly dressed for Texas and its 40C weather, teaming a dress shirt with skinny black trousers while George was in a Tshirt and jeans. Bless – they look like they’re each other’s No.1 fans.
