Paul McCartney’s new documentary revisits life after the Beatles and the formation of Wings. McCartney described seeing footage of Linda as “very emotional” and deeply personal. Lost home videos resurfaced, adding a special family touch to the film.
At the screening of his latest film, which explores his life after the Beatles and the formation of Wings, McCartney reflected with Us Weekly, “I think all the stuff with the kids and Linda is lovely to see. I mean, obviously, the Linda stuff was very emotional. She looks so beautiful. She’s so cool.”
He continued, “Me and Linda interacting is very special, because she’s not here. Seeing the kids little, ’cause they know they’re not little anymore … they’ve got kids of their own. Linda, the kids, me and John [Lennon], just these memories … it’s like a life flashing in front of me.”
According to the outlet, several of the photos and home videos featured in the documentary were taken by Linda, adding a special and deeply personal touch to the film. McCartney later admitted he had long believed the footage was gone for good and was stunned when it resurfaced.
“Because in the ’60s and ’70s, you’d have a lot of break-ins. You wouldn’t really bother locking your door too much. So fans would come in, just nicking a lot of stuff. It was just like … it was how it was,” he said, adding, “So I kind of automatically just thought, ‘Well, it’s all gone. But [the] kids at my office were fantastic. They looked in every little, you know, storage units and every little drawer and everything, and they found it all.”
Paul and Linda wed in March 1969, and went on to raise four children together: Heather, 63, whom Paul adopted, Stella, 54; Mary, 53; and James, 48.
