U2's Bono interviews George Clooney

U2 frontman Bono has interviewed actor George Clooney for an upcoming CNN special, entitled 'The World's Most Influential People.'

The one-hour presentation will be a special edition of the news network's Anderson Cooper 360°, according to TV Guide.

The show, anchored by Cooper, will be aired in tandem with the release of Time magazine's 100 special issue. The programme will incorporate interviews with the publication's recipients conducted by fellow influential honorees.

Time magazine asked Bono to write the profile, and CNN shot the interview for the special.

"You recently slept with someone that I have a crush on. Tell me about that?", was reportedly one of his first questions Bono put to George Clooney and it apparently set the tone of their nearly 40 minute interview.

The show airs in the US today.
