Sir Paul takes a trip to the cinema.
Beatles fans from all over the world have been gearing up to watch the latest documentary about the Fab Four.
Produced by Martin Scorsese, Beatles '64 takes a look at the band's trip to the US that year, the moment where Beatlemania truly went global.
The film launches on Disney+ in a couple of days (November 29), but some lucky people have already had the chance to see the documentary at its big screen premiere.
And among them was none other than Paul McCartney himself, who popped into Hudson Square Theater in New York City on Sunday (November 24) with his wife Nancy Shevell to see the film, the Daily Mail reports.
He seemingly didn't make a big fuss as he took his seat, but his presence was definitely noted by fans – famous and otherwise – also at the screening.

A mix of archive footage and new interviews, Beatles '64 looks at the impact the Fab Four had on the US in the period around their first performances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Scorsese has produced the new Beatles film, which is directed by David Tedeschi.
