The Beatles Would Sometimes Dress in Disguise in Public
The Beatles ate in restaurants and John Lennon visited Disney World with his son. With such recognizable faces, Lennon commented on the group using disguises to go in public — which didn’t always work.
Even if they were typically touring, recording, and writing music, these artists found time to eat out at restaurants worldwide. Sometimes, listeners would approach and ask for an autograph.
“Usually it’s only Americans that’ll bother you,” George Harrison said (via Beatles Interviews). “If we go into a restaurant in London, there’s always going to be a couple of them eating there; you just tell the waiter to hold them off if they try to come over. If they come over anyway, you just sign.”
In the same interview, Starr added he wouldn’t frequent his typical restaurants if he wasn’t rich and famous, mentioning that “snobs” visited the same places as the Beatles. Beso in London, boasts the Beatles often dined there. (A picture of the Fab Four is visible on the wall.)
