The Beatles: Paul McCartney on first meeting 'cool guy' John Lennon 'He was the posh one'
October 9, 2020, marks what would have been The Beatles star John Lennon’s 80th birthday. And to celebrate, Sir Paul McCartney has been interviewed by the late star’s younger son Sean Lennon for a special BBC Radio 2 broadcast called John Lennon at 80. During the interview, the 78-year-old shared his first impression of John in the late 1950s.
Sir Paul said: “The funny thing about your dad was that I'd seen him around a couple of times, because I realised later what it was, my bus route, he would take that bus, but he would be going to see his mum who lived kind of in my area.
“And then he’d take the bus back up to his Auntie Mimi's.
“So I'd seen him a couple of times and thought, ‘Wow, you know, he’s an interesting looking guy.’
“And then I once also saw him in a queue for fish and chips and I said, ‘Oh, that's that guy off the bus’.”
