KEY POINTS:
U2 frontman Bono and Spanish actress Penelope Cruz raised eyebrows on the French Riviera last week by holding hands and strolling on a beach together.
The two smiled for paparazzi from photo agency X17 as they walked with model Helena Christensen along the Club 55 harbour on Thursday morning.
Bono and Cruz were also spotted the previous evening leaving St Tropez nightclub VIP Room together holding hands at four in the morning.
Bono and Cruz have been holidaying in St Tropez for a week as part of a group including rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Christensen.
Bono has been married to environmental activist and designer Ali Hewson for 25 years. The couple have four children.
Cruz has previously mentioned her admiration for Bono in interviews.
"He is so powerful yet so human," the Sahara actress told Hello! magazine. "Seeing him investing all his time and effort is something to admire. He's changing the world."
Last September Cruz said, "I'm very interested in following up on all the work Bono is doing. He's so powerful and so human and seeing him investing all his time and effort is something to admire."
