The Beatles biopics may have cast their John, Paul, Harry and Ringo, however countless British stars auditioned for the coveted roles – and Sex Education’s Asa Butterfield was one of them.
The 29-year-old has revealed that he went up for the role of George Harrison in The Beatles – a series of four films with each focusing on one of the band’s iconic musicians. Stranger Things and Gladiator 2 star Joseph Quinn was ultimately cast as Harrison, with Babygirl’s Harris Dickinson playing John Lennon, Hamnet’s Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney and Saltburn’s Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.
