1 June 2007. Geldof does a Bono and edits German tabloid daily Bild as part of his campaign for raising awareness for poverty and Africa. He takes over for 1 day and draws in the voices of his counterparts and friends.
Geldof is soon to make another acting appearance. This time in a short film, written by a friend of his. It is about a Bob Geldof look alike and Bob plays the lookalike. He thinks it's a crazy idea, but obviously likes it too.
"to do something unparalleled in the world, and especially at the beginning of the 21st Century, and that is to tilt the world a little bit on its axis in favor of the poor, and that's not a difficult thing to do."
