Bono's famous daughter Eve Hewson has weighed into the debate about nepotism among Hollywood stars and it seems she has her own take on it.
While many famous offspring have opened up about the phenomenon, Eve, known for her role in Apple TV+'s Bad Sisters, candidly hit back and said there was nothing more to do but laugh. In an interview with NET-A-PORTER's digital title, PORTER, the 33-year-old said: "The only thing you can do is crack a joke and move on."

"[Acting] was the only thing I was any good at," she explained, adding that she also considered going into music like her dad. "I thought I was going to be Charli XCX."
And it seems it's not just Eve and Bono who are musical – the whole family likes to get involved. "We have a studio at the end of [my parents'] garden, where we usually end up in the middle of the night writing stupid songs.
"I actually got kicked out of the family band, for being too enthusiastic."

"It has definitely allowed a lot of doors to be opened but I think those doors shut just as fast because some people may have pre-biases to the band." However, the youngest of the children, John, prefers to live a life away from the spotlight.
