John Lennon Said Paul McCartney Was the Only Beatle Who Could Successfully Disguise ...

Since the explosion of Beatlemania in 1964, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr began to have a difficult time going out in public. Everywhere they went, people approached them, demanding pictures, autographs, or just a chance at a conversation. While exciting at first, this level of attention quickly grew tiresome. The band began using disguises to go out in public, to varying degrees of success. According to Lennon, McCartney was always the best at disguises, even managing to fool the band’s manager. 

After The Beatles found widespread popularity, the band could hardly go anywhere in public without fans approaching them. People would even turn up at their homes and parents’ homes, searching for them. Lennon’s first wife, Cynthia, recalled watching the band fight through the crowd to get to their car.

“Watching TV in Liverpool and looking at the photos in the papers of the crowd scenes I was a little alarmed — John and the others had almost been crushed by the mob as they tried to get to their car that night,” she wrote in her memoir, John. “What on earth was going on?”
