“Ugh, he is such an embarrassing dad,” Eve replied.

“Last time you were here you called him the Kris Jenner of dads,” said Guthrie.

“He is” Eve laughs, “He texts me like, reviews on things, and all that, he’s very involved.

“Yea we had Emily over for dinner, and the minute she walked in he started doing the alien voice that she does in the trailer, and I was like please stop, please please. So cringe.”

People in the comments were quick to say that they had never knew the actress was the U2 frontman’s daughter with many commending her for her roles in Bad Sisters and The Knick, with one person saying,

“I am gagged! I had no idea”, while another said, “If I was invited to their house to have dinner with Bono, he could have squawked like a chicken all night.”
