Paul Mescal Makes Sir Paul McCartney Admission as 'Fire Lit'
Mescal performs his own vocals as McCartney in Sony and Sir Sam Mendes’ Beatles anthology, reigniting his passion for music and deepening his connection to the legendary musician.
- Actor Paul Mescal confirmed he will sing as Sir Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles films, as revealed in British GQ, available from Tuesday, January 27.
- The project, organised as an anthology, is directed by Sir Sam Mendes and produced by Sony Pictures, with Mescal joining Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson, and Joseph Quinn in the cast.
- Mescal told British GQ that `One of the many benefits of shooting a Beatles anthology is that you get to do the job and not talk about the job`, while Dickinson praised him as raised well with strong morals.
- Mescal said playing McCartney has 'really lit a fire' for writing music, and he recently plans to step away from the limelight until the press tour, with two films releasing this month.
- Formed in 1960, The Beatles hold 18 UK number one singles and 16 UK number one albums, and Mescal said he feels emotionally attached after meeting Sir Paul twice.
