As we wait for the return of Britain’s Got Talent, it’s worth noting that the Got Talent franchise is alive and well in the rest of the world – including, currently, in Romania.

And that’s where this little gem of an act sprang up, bringing his Bono impersonator to the stage and taking the judges by surprise (from the looks of it, at least).

Everybody, say hello to Pavel Sfera. Who not only looks uncannily like the Irish rocker, but sounds an awful lot like him too.

So much so that his medley of One and With Or Without You not only had the panel smiling, but got the audience on their feet.

Of course he sailed through to the next round. But the singer – who was born in the former Yugoslavia but now lives in Los Angeles – is an old hand at this Bono thing.

As well as being the frontman of U2 tribute band Desire, his official website tells us that he’s released an album, Lost In Thought – featuring his own original piano compositions – is an accomplished photographer, gardener, poet and chef, and has also done humanitarian work in the USA and Romania.

He’s also given to hanging out with other lookalikes from the looks of it:

Meanwhile if you’re sat wondering when we get to see Britain’s Got Talent, well the good news is very soon – because auditions have been underway across the UK, and it’ll be back on screens in the Spring.

Whether or not it will feature any Bono impersonators is another matter entirely…
