John Lennon’s sister reveals major complaint against Paul Mescal’s casting in Beatles biopic
She said he's been 'in everything'.
John Lennon’s sister has taken aim at Paul Mescal’s casting in the upcoming Beatles biopic.
Last year director Sam Mendes announced plans for four biopics of each individual member of the band – Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison.
Then, after months of speculation about who would be stepping into the lead roles, it was announced that Babygirl star Harris Dickinson would play Lennon, Normal People’s Mescal would play McCartney, Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan would be Starr and Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn would take on Harrison.
However, when the casting was revealed, many questioned the choices, with many saying they couldn’t see any sort of resemblance between the actors and the Fab Four.
A few months on, Lennon’s sister Julia Baird has said she thinks the roles should have gone to lesser-known actors, specifically challenging Mescal being selected.
While attending the Live Odyssey VIP Launch at The Stables Market in Camden, Julia, 78, told MailOnline there were many actors ‘waiting for a chance’ to get their big break.
