Paul Mescal plays Paul McCartney in the Beatles-Biopics-and hangs in for it.
Paul Mescal will not only play Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles Biopics, but also sing himself. The “normal People” actor is preparing for the four films by director Sam Mendes, each of which focuses on one of the FAB Four and are to come to cinemas in April 2028.
Recommendations of the editorial team
Mescal plays Paul McCartney, while Barry Keoghan drummer Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson singer John Lennon and Joseph Quinn Leadgitarist George Harrison will embody. It remains unclear whether the other actors will also be heard from the real voices.
Meeting with Paul McCartney
In an interview with “indiewire” Paul Mescal also revealed that he personally met McCartney to prepare for the role: “He is an extraordinary man. It is crazy to say that I spent time with this man, let alone that I play him.” When asked whether he would take over his vocal savings himself, he answered clearly: “Yes, yes, absolutely, Hell Yeah.” And with that, the info should go around the world.
Mescals previous singing experience
Mescal already has experience as a singer on the screen. In 2022 he played in the musical adaptation “Carmen” alongside Melissa Barrera.
What else he does? He also works sporadically on Richard Linklater’s long -term project “Merrily We Roll Along”, which will be shot over 20 years. In an interview with “Indiewire”, he said about this extraordinary process: “I travel to Texas every few years to work with him, beanie field stone and Ben Platt. It is such a crazy process, very individual for me.”
