Uncut mag has a new interview with Ringo. Some highlights:
“Barry [Keoghan] came to live with me for a year, so he’d really get my mannerisms… No, I’m just shitting on you!” laughs Starr. “He came over one afternoon for two hours and we said hello. Then I was in London last year and we went to the set. We got lucky, because the other John and the other Paul were having an argument. What? How great!
“The good thing about it is, there’s gonna be some reality to it. Though we all love the Dick Lester movies, we’re just ‘the boys’, you know. But I spoke to Sam for days. The first time he sent the script, we were in London and we sat for two days. There was a lot of stuff I personally didn’t want in the film. ‘OK, we’ll take that out…’
“We’re all in each other’s stories. I thought, ‘I don’t know how he’s going to do it, just let him get on with it.’ We trust him. I’ll be as surprised as any of you, because it’s a movie, not a documentary. The first couple of weeks, I was stuck in documentary mode. ‘Well, that didn’t happen then and he wasn’t there…’ In the end, actually speaking to Paul, we’re both like, ‘What’s that? OK, it’s a movie. It’s not a documentary. Let’s relax behind it.’”
