Pattie Boyd has claimed that nobody involved in the upcoming Beatles biopics reached out to her, despite casting an actor to play her.
The biopics which are being directed by Sam Mendes, are to be released in April 2028, with Joseph Quinn set to play former Beatles bandmember and Boyd's ex husband, George Harrison, with the late John Lennon to be played by Harris Dickinson, while Irish actors Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan set to portray Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr respectively.
Other household names featuring in the series include Saoirse Ronan who will play Linda McCartney, while Anna Sawai is to play Yoko Ono, with Mia McKenna-Bruce to play Maureen Starkey and Pattie Boyd (pictured beside Keith Richards in photo) to be played by Aimee Lou Wood.
Earlier this week, Pattie Boyd who was married to George Harrison from 1964 to 1977, appeared on the inaugural episode of Chris O'Dell's podcast, Miss O’Dell: Abbey Road To Tulsa Time.
It was here where Boyd claimed that nobody from the Beatles project contacted her.
“Now,” she began, “I might be completely wrong, but I would have thought it would be polite to mention it to me or let me know that they got someone who’s going to be playing me".
“Don’t you think they’d let me know? Well, I haven’t been contacted by anyone. I could have really told them great stories. But I don’t think they want to know. I think they want to create something that’s completely different, like a different story".
Boyd went on to add that the forthcoming biopics about the Fab Four seem to have “nothing to do with the truth [and] nothing to do with what really happened because they don’t want to talk to anyone who was there".
Instead, she said it was closer to “the filmmaker’s creation of what they think happened”.
Earlier this month, Barry Keoghan said that filming the upcoming Beatles biopics has been "incredible".
“It’s going incredible,” he told Deadline. “It’s such a big family out there, and it’s such a big movie, but it has that indie soul to it, where I’m feeling super safe to reach and bring forward the most vulnerable truths and the most… just really dig deep with the performance as Ringo.”
