And we were like, ‘Oh, my God. They’ve been waiting an hour for us to finish the dinner!’” On Monday’s show, Bardem apologized to fans who were at the concert that night and swore he wasn’t aware of the circumstances.

Bardem then shared his version of the viral moment in which he got on stage with Bono at a U2 concert, wearing a cowboy hat and a purple feather boa.
