BONO BRINGS BOND TO JAY-Z'S MONTE CARLO PARTY

The rocker was dining out with his family when the rapper spotted him and invited him to join his party at a swanky restaurant nearby.

Feeling underdressed in vest and jeans, the singer declined - but Jay-Z kept insisting his attire would not be a problem.

Bono was just about to join the rapper's party when he bumped into Monte Carlo regular and former 007 Roger Moore and his wife - and decided to invite them along.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "I asked them if they'd like to say hello, knowing that if I arrived with Roger Moore, there's no way, even if it all went wrong, there's no way they're going to throw me out. He's the sharp-dressed man of sharp-dressed men, and he's with his beautiful wife.

"I walk up, we go up to the room... it's where Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra used to hang out. I know it very well, and sometimes I go there, but I'm here now in a vest and jeans, looking like Jay-Z's mechanic.

"I walk in, and there's a whole bunch (of people) - there's Beyonce, (music mogul) Lyor Cohen, and I just hear, 'It's motherf**kin' James Bond! It's James Bond, I'm hanging out with James Bond!'"

"I just think, 'What?' Then it just all starts to make sense to me; hip-hop is so James Bond - the cars, the planes, the suits, the dresses, the guns, and I had no idea. It was like bringing Picasso to a bunch of painters."
