Colin's pals: The Edge and Bono who took time out to support Colin Farrell's new movie 'Ondine'

U2 stars Bono and The Edge turned out for Colin Farrell Monday night in Toronto as the father-to-be launched his new fantasy movie "Ondine."

The rock stars - who blew Chicago away this weekend with their 360 Tour - jetted in to Toronto to get ready for their sold-out shows in the Canadian city on Wednesday and Thursday night.

While there, they decided to support Colin on the big opening night.

Both Bono and the Edge joined Farrell on the red carpet before the premiere.

"Great to be here," said Bono as he tried to dodge the limelight preferring to keep the spotlight on Farrell.

The Edge said he was a huge fan and said Farrell was a great actor. "He's great, he's great," he said.

"Ondine," which also star's Farrell's pregnant girlfriend Alicja Bachleda, is based on the the story of an Irish fisherman who finds a woman in his fishing net.

Meanwhile, Farrell, said he was thrilled that U2 showed up to support him.

"I know them through the years. It is very cool for them to be here, I have been a massive fan since I was a kid."

It's good to see great Irish performers supporting each other like that. It says good about them having their egos out of the way. The new movie sounds good too.
