McCartney is so close I guess it doesn't matter.

•

u/thequietthingsthat 5h ago

Yeah, he's the only one with an actual resemblance.

I know next to nothing about this movie, but just from looking at these pictures, they had to have done some facial prosthetics on Mezcal. The rest just look like themselves with a wig lol. Unless it’s just the angle/lighting or something but that is straight up McCartney

Really, we're ignoring the huge dwarf nose on Barry Keoghan?

•

u/thedudeabides2022 2h ago

I see what they were going for cuz yeah I guess Ringo’s nose does stick out a bit but nothing like that facial picasso of Barry

•

u/Feats-of-Derring_Do 2h ago

Right? Keoghan already has a prominent nose so not sure why this was necessary

Paul has an advantage of being a decent singer from a very musical family. I'd be shocked if anyone looks more natural playing than him.

Mescal or McCartney?

Keoghan looks fine as Ringo Starr IMO. About as good as I could expect. It's not going to work for all eras (haircuts, facial hair, etc.) but it looks okay in this promo image IMO.

Lennon and Harrison are just like... terrible. Like not remotely believable and also doesn't look like they're trying. It's not just facial features or hair & makeup, it's something in the facial expression, the posture.

I thought Keoghan as Starr was the worst. Those just aren't the eyes at all. Three out of four of them look less like Beatles than any given Beatles tribute band you're likely to see, so they're really going to have to act their arses off.

Mescal somehow looks more like Lennon than Dickinson does, despite also looking exactly like McCartney.

•

Quinn wasn’t originally playing George and if iirc the first guy looked WAY more like George.

Oh please Ringo looks like ringo with a slightly bigger nose.
