Irish rockers U2 have been going for over 30 years now and someone will no doubt want to make a movie of their career at some point.

The band, who are currently number one in the UK album chart, already know which actors they'd like to be portrayed by on the big screen.

Guitarist The Edge, 47, quipped to Absolute Radio's Christian O'Connell: "We'd want it to be realistic, we don't want the usual things, so Brad Pitt would play me. We want to be realistic, you know, you don't want to do the Hollywood thing."

In the same spirit singer Bono said: "Yes, I would say. Who's another tall, skinny Irishman? Daniel Day Lewis would play me."
