Legendary model and ex-wife of George Harrison, Pattie Boyd, has one big question on the upcoming Beatles biography.
It was confirmed yesterday (April 1) that four films about The Beatles members, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon, would release on April 2028. Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn were cast as the Fab Four.
While the announcement has made waves on social media, Boyd asked whether the “four film event” would feature an appearance from The Beatles’ loved ones.
An official announcement for the film, which was posted to X, reads: “The Beatles will be a 4-Film Event. Set to be interconnected stories told from each band member’s point of view.
“Director Sam Mendes says principal photography will take place for over a year. All four films will be released in theaters April 2028.”
Boyd wrote: “I wonder who will be cast to play me? That’s assuming that I get to feature in any of the movies…” It is not yet confirmed whether Boyd will be portrayed by anyone in any of the four planned Beatles movies.
No portrayals or acting announcements have been made beyond the casting of the Fab Four. Mendes has said of the films: “We’re not just making one film about the Beatles – we’re making four.
“Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.” Boyd’s viral post to X has seen a mixture of reactions, with some suggesting who could play the model-turned-photographer.
One user suggested Pearl star Mia Goth would be an ideal star to portray Boyd. They wrote: “Mia Goth, next.” Another user hopes Boyd can have her pick of stars should she be a part of The Beatles’ story on screen.
Another user wrote: “Pattie please get them to let you pick the actress.”
Other users have since pointed out that Boyd had previously shared her hopes of Taylor Swift being the person to bring her to the big screen. She confirmed in an interview that she would want to be portrayed by the singer-songwriter sensation.
She said: “I would love to have a film of my life, I think that would be a really lovely thing to be a part of. Taylor Swift. That should do it.”
Some have suggested Boyd will feature in The Beatles movies as she is “too important” not to include. One user wrote: “You will be in those movies queen you’re way too important.”
Boyd, who called time on her relationship with Harrison, also dated and married fellow guitar legend Eric Clapton. She was also involved with Ronnie Wood of Faces, who would later join The Rolling Stones.
