Penelope Cruz Loves Bono

He’s played to millions of fans, and raised millions of dollars for humanitarian efforts. And Bono has just won another admirer; Spanish babe Penelope Cruz.

It’s his relentless pursuit of making the world a better place that has the Vanilla Sky actress singing the singer’s praises. "He is so powerful yet so human. Seeing him investing all his time and effort is something to admire. He's changing the world."

And add to that his 24-year marriage to environmental activist Ali Hewson, and the fact that he’s a father to four children, and you’ve got one heck of a schedule. Oh, by the way, he’s the frontman of one of the best selling bands of all time.

This past week, though, Bono took some much needed down time on the French Riviera. He’s been joined by Cruz, Diddy (who’s back on the market) and Helena Christensen. Hey, if Saint Tropez is good enough for Jay-Z and Beyonce, it’s gotta be good enough for these celebs.

Enjoy the pictures of Bono, Penelope and friends in St. Tropez (July 25).
