Let It Be! The Beatles Biopic Is Coming, Dramatic Hair Transformations And All

Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson takes on the role of the late John Lennon. From what we can glean from the low-lit postcard picture, he’s captured Lennon with his extra-long shag, which became his signature look. No full beard just yet, so this is likely Abbey Road and Yoko Ono-era John. In 1970, Lennon shaved his head.

Joseph Quinn as George Harrison

@thebeatles

George Harrison’s thick, collar-length hair was always notably much more voluminous than that of his bandmates, so Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn might have had some help from a wig or some well-placed extensions here. With floppy curtains and a centre part, his wavy ’do reflected his countercultural thinking, getting longer and wilder as he embraced spirituality and mysticism.

Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney

@thebeatles

Sure, Paul McCartney has cycled through his share of wild mullets and (sometimes fake!) moustaches, but in the annals of pop culture, Sir Paul will always be defined by the bowl cut. Here, we see Hamnet’s Paul Mescal embrace early McCartney, with his forward-brushed bangs and scissor-cut sides. (Mescal has been on the awards season circuit with a remarkably different ’do, so it looks like he opted out of a McCartney-esque cut in favour of a wig.)
