Then I see Bono and him as pals and I'm going, 'I don't like that'," The Sun quoted Mullen, as telling Q magazine.
"I understand why people find it really offensive," Mullen added.
He said: "On the other hand, I think it has made people understand where Bono's coming from, in that he's prepared to use his weight as a celebrity, at great cost to himself and his family, to help other people.
"I don't think there's much of an upside for him and I don't think he chooses where he goes and who he meets.
"But as an outsider, looking in, I cringe." (ANI)
