What Paul McCartney does instead of taking pictures with fans he bumps into
Instead of taking pictures with fans, Paul McCartney has confirmed he does something far nicer.
The Beatles and Wings legend confirmed he rarely poses for photos with people who may bump into him on the street, instead preferring a chat and a handshake. Part of McCartney’s reasoning behind the lack of photos is that his adaptation to being one of the most famous musicians in the world needs some distance between fans and his private life. McCartney also confirmed he does not do autographs either, finding the experience a “bit strange”. In an interview with Reader’s Digest, McCartney confirmed his distaste for selfies with fans.
He said: “What you’ve usually got is a ropey photo with a poor backdrop and me looking a bit miserable. Let’s chat, let’s exchange stories.” McCartney went on to explain his distaste for photos in a separate interview, where the legendary songwriter said being “recognised” was still a weird experience.
