The Beatles: Why John Lennon was 'FRIGHTENED' to feature in a movie with Bob Dylan

Back in 1966, The Beatles star John Lennon appeared with Bob Dylan in the latter’s documentary film Eat the Document. Directed by Dylan, the movie followed the singer on his 1966 tour of the UK and Ireland. Lennon featured in a scene with the American musician in a limousine, when they were both high.

According to Cheat Sheet, the pair discussed World War II and The Beatles among a whole host of subjects.

And in Jann S Wenner’s Lennon Remembers, the Beatle is recorded as saying how he was reluctant to be in a movie with Dylan.

Lennon said in 1971: “I never did see it.

“[I] was so frightened, you know. I was always so paranoid and Bob said ‘I want you to be in this film’…. [And] I thought why? What? He’s going to put me down; I went all through this terrible thing.”
