During a live performance for his eighty fifth birthday, per Collider, the previous Beatles drummer said that he has “spent time with him” and acquired the impression that the Oscar nominated Irish actor “knows what he’s doing.”
But, in a July interview with Variety, Starr said that he read the scripts and introduced up considerations to Mendes.
“He had a writer…he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I,” Starr said, referring to his first spouse, Maureen Starkey Tigrett, who he was married to from 1965 to 1975.
She’ll be performed by Mia McKenna-Bruce.

The photos also show Mescal with a haircut to resemble McCartney during the early Beatles days.
During a September apperance on “In the Envelope: The Actor’s Podcast,” Mescal said that enjoying McCartney is, “f–king scary.”
The “Normal People” actor added, “It’s so exciting. I’m working again with actors that I really, really admire, and we’re stepping into something where people will have such intense opinions about who [the Beatles] are, or whether we should even be making [these movies] in the first place.”
The “Hamnet” actor famous, “But I can tell you from the inside of it that we’re approaching it with the greatest love and respect and rigor. I’ve definitely rehearsed for this longer than I’ve ever rehearsed for anything else in my entire life already. So we’re putting in the hard yards.”

In the photos, Dickinson was shown sporting long hair as Lennon, as properly as signature spherical glasses. Quinn was shown with long hair in a beard, as Harrison.
In Feb. 2024, McCartney, Starr, and the households of John Lennon and George Harrison granted the project full life and music rights.
In September, Mescal told Indiewire that he’ll “absolutely” sing onscreen and that he had spent time with McCartney, who he called “extraordinary.”
