WHILE

promoting his new film Ant-Man And The Wasp, Michael Douglas, far left, revealed an interesting U2 connection. It turns out that Douglas was one of the very first guests to stay at the band’s Liffey-side Clarence Hotel – a week before it opened its doors after an extensive multimillion euro makeover in 1996. The Hollywood veteran, 73, told joe.ie: ‘I was on a golfing tour with Jack [Nicholson, left] and a couple of other friends and the place was almost ready to open… and Bono said we could stay there, which was pretty nice of him.’
