‘You only care about Africa’

HOME TRUTHS: Stuart Townsend blasts Bono over star’s failure to back Save Tara campaign

RELATIONS between two of Ireland’s most famous men are set to turn frosty after actor Stuart Townsend lashed out at U2 frontman Bono.

The Irish actor slammed the world-famous singer for failing to step up and help in the fight to save the Hill of Tara.

And to add insult to injury he went on to claim that the humanitarian was more interested in helping those overseas that in getting involved in campaigns in his native Ireland.

“I don’t know why Bono hasn’t gotten involved so far. Maybe it’s because his focus is on Africa and heritage isn’t his thing,” the actor claimed.

Townsend made the remarks while enjoying a romantic weekend in Paris with his partner Charlize Theron (32).

The actor himself has long been involved in the campaign to save the ancient spot and halt construction of the controversial motorway.
