@barbecue.grill.recipes: Paul McCartney Reveals His One Major Frustration with Upcoming Beatles Biopic Casting Music legend Paul McCartney has opened up about a specific detail that bothers him in upcoming films about The Beatles. During an appearance on Amy Poehler’s *Good Hang* podcast, the 84-year-old icon explained that filmmakers consistently portray him as shorter than John Lennon. McCartney clarified that he, Lennon, and George Harrison were all the same height, with only Ringo Starr being slightly smaller. McCartney shared that director Sam Mendes sent him a photo of the new cast recreating the famous *Abbey Road* crosswalk image for their upcoming four-film project. In the picture, actor Paul Mescal appeared noticeably shorter than Harris Dickinson, who plays Lennon. Seeing the image, McCartney immediately texted Mendes, warning him not to make his character smaller. Mendes reassured him that the visual difference was just due to the actors' walking stride and sent a second photo where they appeared equal. McCartney recalled having a similar issue with the 2009 biopic *Nowhere Boy*, where he was also portrayed as smaller and weaker than Lennon. The director at the time dismissed his concerns by calling it a movie rather than a documentary. The four-film cinematic event is currently scheduled to hit theaters in April 2028. Do you think historical biopics should stick strictly to physical accuracy? #paulmccartney #thebeatles #musicnews #movies #celebritynews
