1. Eve Hewson’s Ascent in Hollywood with Major Streaming Roles
Eve Hewson, the second eldest, has firmly established herself as a versatile and in-demand actress in the world of film and television. She has successfully navigated the complexities of Hollywood, earning critical acclaim for her compelling performances in various genres.
Recent Projects and Upcoming Releases
Eve's career continues to gain momentum with high-profile projects. Her most recent notable role is in the 2024 Netflix limited series, The Perfect Couple, based on the novel by Elin Hilderbrand. This role places her alongside major names, further cementing her status as a leading actress.
She is known for her breakout performance as the lead in the 2021 Netflix psychological thriller miniseries, Behind Her Eyes, a role that brought her international recognition. Her work in the dark comedy series Bad Sisters also received widespread praise, showcasing her ability to blend humor and drama.
Unlike her father’s path in music, Eve’s journey is distinctly her own. She studied at the New York Film Academy and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, dedicating herself to the craft of acting from a young age. Her commitment to diverse roles, from period dramas like The Knick to blockbuster films like Robin Hood, demonstrates a clear ambition to be defined by her work, not her lineage.
2. Elijah Hewson and Inhaler: Forging a New Rock Legacy
Elijah Hewson, Bono's first son, is the frontman of the Irish indie rock band Inhaler. He is perhaps the sibling who has most directly followed a path similar to his father’s, but Inhaler has worked hard to establish a unique identity separate from the U2 connection.
Inhaler’s Latest Music and Tour Updates
As of 2024 and 2025, Inhaler is highly active. The band, which also includes Robert Keating, Ryan McMahon, and Josh Jenkinson, recently released the single "Hole In The Ground," signaling a return to their earlier, raw sound.
Elijah, who turned 25 in 2024, has spoken about the pressure and anxiety that came with the band's initial success. However, Inhaler's music has been widely praised, with their first album, It Won’t Always Be Like This, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart. The band’s success is a testament to their own songwriting and performance skills, often drawing comparisons to the post-punk revival scene rather than U2’s stadium rock.
The band continues to tour and perform at major festivals, showcasing their new material and growing their dedicated fan base globally. Elijah's stage presence and vocal style have matured, solidifying Inhaler's position as one of the most exciting new rock acts from Dublin.
3. Jordan Hewson’s Tech-Driven Social Activism
Jordan Hewson, the eldest daughter, has chosen a path rooted in technology and social change, mirroring the passion for activism shared by both her parents. She is a highly respected figure in the tech and media space, using digital platforms to drive real-world impact.
The Speakable "Action Button" and Global Citizen Role
Jordan is the founder and CEO of Speakable, a technology company dedicated to making civic engagement simple and accessible. Her key creation is the "Action Button," a tool that can be embedded in news articles to connect readers directly with ways to take action—such as calling a representative or donating—on the issues they are reading about.
This innovative approach to digital activism has been praised for bridging the gap between awareness and action. Jordan, a Columbia University graduate, launched Speakable in 2016 and has since been featured in major publications for her work.
In addition to her role at Speakable, Jordan is also a Founding Editor of Global Citizen, a movement focused on ending extreme poverty. Her career is a powerful blend of Silicon Valley innovation and her family’s long-standing commitment to humanitarian and political causes.
4. John Abraham Hewson: The Private Life of Bono’s Youngest Son
The youngest of the Hewson siblings, John Abraham Hewson, born in 2001, has made a deliberate choice to remain largely out of the public spotlight. While his older siblings embrace public careers in acting, music, and tech, John maintains a private life, a choice that is often difficult for the children of global superstars.
A Focus on Privacy and Personal Pursuits
Information regarding John's current professional career is scarce, indicating a successful effort to maintain a low profile. He was born and raised in Dublin, like his siblings.
While he has been mentioned in connection with sports and maintains a presence on social media like Instagram, his account is often private, reinforcing his desire for a normal life away from the intense media scrutiny that follows the U2 family. This privacy is a conscious choice that contrasts sharply with the high-profile careers of his sisters and brother, proving that each of Bono's children is truly making their own mark and defining their own version of success.
