Paul Mescal is hyped up about his portrayal of Paul McCartney in the upcoming Beatles film, and nothing is holding him back as the actor praises the music legend and his legacy. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mescal opened up about working on the film, and how his meeting with McCartney went as he added that the Beatles member "changed the world."
The shooting plan for the Beatles film is way different than one can imagine. Talking about the schedule the cast is following for the film, Mescal says,
“It’s a version of a weird 9-to-5, and I thought I would hate that and I actually am loving that. I do like structure a lot. I like a plan. I like rehearsals... Average day is: We get up, we go out to Bobbington — which is about an hour and a quarter drive — listening to the Beatles in the car. Then we go in, and we try to walk, talk, play, think like the Beatles. Then we get in the car, listen to the Beatles, and go home.”
He is also learning to play the guitar left handed, to portray McCartney, who he describes as the "coolest man on planet Earth," even more accurately. Talking about that, Mescal adds,
“It would just be crazy to not play it left-handed, you know? You’re like, ‘Nah. I like [McCartney] a lot, but I don’t love him.’ That would be the messaging if I didn’t play left-handed. And he’s the f**king coolest man on planet Earth, I think.”
