Famous musician and activist Sir Bob Geldof, known for his suave style, recently surprised fans with a drastic change in appearance. Instead of his usual sleek look, the 73-year-old opted for a colorful shell suit while filming a new movie. The former frontman of the popular 80s band, The Boomtown Rats, is best known for their hit song "I Don't Like Mondays" and for co-founding the iconic music event, Live Aid.
But on the set of his latest project, Sir Bob looked almost unrecognizable. With a full white beard and long hair, paired with aviator sunglasses and matching tracksuits, he was a far cry from his usual self. The movie, titled Zombie Plane, is a comedy-horror film that follows a group of passengers on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles, who suddenly find themselves dealing with a zombie outbreak.
Sir Bob is not the only celebrity taking part in this wild adventure. The star-studded cast includes action hero Chuck Norris, rapper Vanilla Ice, and Australian model and TV personality Sophie Monk. Together, they must work together to survive the chaos and also face the threat of the US Air Force, who are determined to eliminate the zombies, and all the celebrities along with them.
Directed by Lav Bodnaruk and Michael Mier, Zombie Plane is set to be released in 2025. Sir Bob is currently filming in Australia and while there, he also attended the Brisbane International Film Festival, where he got to meet another zombie star - an undead kangaroo named Rippy. The film, appropriately titled Rippy, features a small-town sheriff trying to protect her town from the killer kangaroo.
During an interview at the festival, Sir Bob shared his excitement about his role in Zombie Plane, saying, "I am actually starring in Zombie Plane. Obviously, I'm very nervous because this is a big acting role." This is not his first time playing himself in a film, as he has also appeared in Pink Floyd - The Wall, Spice World, and even had a cameo in Paul Whitehouse's sitcom Happiness.
But Sir Bob has also taken on other acting roles, such as playing himself in the TV movie Bernard and the Genie and a spoof of himself in A Spinal Tap Reunion: The 25th Anniversary London Sell-Out. In 2012, he showed off his versatility by playing a rock star named George in the French drama Bad Girl.
Aside from his acting work, Sir Bob is also known for his achievements as a musician. With The Boomtown Rats, he achieved number one hits with "I Don't Like Mondays" and "Rat Trap." He also co-founded Band Aid and organized the famous concerts Live Aid and Live 8, co-writing the charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" With such an impressive resume, it's safe to say that Sir Bob has earned the opportunity to star in a fun and quirky zombie movie.
