The Frames frontman Glen Hansard, who won an Oscar for Best Original Song for Falling Slowly from indie movie Once, has revealed that he revealed a congratulatory text from fellow Irishman Bono.

"What was really amazing for me was getting texts from family and friends," he told RTE presenter John Murray, "and then I got a text from Bono and was like, 'Ah my god, that's just amazing.' For me, it was just like getting a text off the king of the tribe."

Hansard, who starred in Alan Parker's 1991 film The Commitments, added that he and his co-star, Marketa Irglova, are planning on touring America in the near future. Chances are, though, there won't be any more films.

"I'd like to think we'll play a few gigs in Ireland, but basically getting back to music. I mean, acting's not really my thing."
