People Are Freaking Out About The Beatles Actors' Paparazzi Photos In The New Movies

There are a bunch of paparazzi photos circulating the internet of the four actors playing The Beatles in Sam Mendes' The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event, which is still quite a way away from hitting movie screens in 2028. The movies have been filming for a few months now (and are expected to be filming for quite a few more), and recently the faux Fab Four–Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr were snapped by photogs while filming the iconic Abbey Road cover photoshoot. The internet's response to how they look has been harsh.

The cover of Abbey Road is one of the most iconic album covers of all time, so of course it had to be a part of the movie. In the photo, the four Beatles are crossing the street at a zebra crossing. Lennon is leading the way with a bushy beard and wearing a white suit; Starr follows him in a black suit. Then comes McCartney in a grey suit and no shoes, and trailing behind is Harrison in all denim. I'm not going to get into the fan lore that played into the "Paul is dead" theory, but everyone knows the photo.
In the paparazzi photo, the actors are dressed as The Beatles were that day, and, to be honest, they do look pretty ridiculous. Fans were quick to take to Reddit and talk smack:
"Every in-costume/makeup photo I see from these films just looks worse and worse." - u/Long_Emergency6122
"They look ridiculous." - u/ShameSuperb7099
"Looks like an SNL skit" - u/AZmoneyfolder
"John and George look so bad." - u/shlict
