Paul McCartney objects to looking shorter than John Lennon in Beatles movies

Variety reports McCartney told the “Good Hang” podcast that the Beatles were about the same height, with Ringo a bit shorter. He said he texted Sam Mendes, director of four upcoming Beatles films, after an Abbey Road crossing still made Paul Mescal’s McCartney look markedly smaller than Harris Dickinson’s Lennon: “Smaller? Don’t do this!” McCartney also recalled objecting to a similar portrayal in 2009’s “Nowhere Boy.”
