Sir Paul McCartney has admitted his late Beatles bandmate John Lennon “could be a complete idiot” while reflecting on their infamously tense early‑70s period.
During a candid conversation with director Judd Apatow, McCartney was asked why Lennon seemed irritated by his post‑Beatles direction. The filmmaker asked: “Was it a joyfulness to it while he's doing primal scream and you're having fun? What do you think got under his skin about it?”
