Paul McCartney οn the Jonathan Ross Show 

That's exactly what I was thinking, complete silence!

Everyone has the utmost respect for Sir Paul McCartney.

He is a great story teller pure magic......

@@widetubevision4423 I sure do. I don't know if you would call it worship or not but I would call it reverence.

My Dad used to say If you don't like the Beatles you don't like music

That kid got told...lol

Did you know they had made up their differences before John was killed. Paul rung him up and asked what he was doing and he was baking bread.

@@ronwilliams357 lmfao this is my favorite comment

In all fairness, Paul had mentioned John's death a couple of times before Jonathan asked him how he heard about it.

for a guy that old the 10 year or so Beatles period must feel like a small part of his life and career too

I think he tells that story over and over because he's actually a relatively private person and I'm sure there were much deeper connections than just talking about baking bread... but those are for him. He doesn't need to tell everyone their most intimate conversations.

@@ineffablemars I never actually considered this, but you must be right! There are some Beatles stories that were recounted countless times over the years, so it makes sense that there is a vaguely agreed 'official' version comprised of what people are willing to share. From time to time, some additionall info pops up in diffrent interviews, but we will never know the full story. Not only because Paul (in this instance) doesn't want to bare his soul to the world, but allso to protect the memory of the dead and the legacy of the band and its members. It's not a secret that all 4 of the band members kept some of each others secrets even during the major fuding in the 70s. And Paul acts almost as a chief public mourner for John, and no amount of regret or 'what if' thinking would keep that bond going for 43 years if they weren't really getting 'back on track' after the mess of the 70s. Paul serenades John with 'Here Today' still at his every major concertand just a few years ago protested gun violence in New York. And he seems the least interested in reconciling the myth of John with the flawed human being that he was. Yoko never submitted to the narrative of a grief stricken widow, and his sons have very complicated feelings (especially Julian). But anyway, I agree that even if they avoided some topics to keep the peace (like business) it probaby wasn't all pointless small talk about cats and bread. And frankly, we are not owed the intimate truth.

haha , nice :)

what the hell would he talk about

sarah c think about it...what does he talk about all of the time at every interview hes ever had? the beatles of course. i would like to know more mundane aspects of his life, anecdotes, childhood stories, who he hung around with before the beatles etc. i live in liverpool and it would be interesting to know.

@@mrmikeh-nv7cq or just his recent songs or at least something from wings

Honestly. I’d ask him what books/movies he likes, what are his favorite memories or funny stories about each of his children while they were growing up. What was it like having all the kids with them while they toured with Wings… what’s his favorite solo songs that he’s written. So many non-Beatles questions I’d like answered, lol.

@Donna G a young elvis was very beautiful later he put much weight on but his voice and beautiful eyes never left him

@Donna G I agree elvis is more my type also

Elvis looked very good in his early career, especially in the 50's when he was young. But then he put on weight. Elvis had everything, he had the style, looks, voice, money.

Pre-Army Elvis was when he earned and deserved his status as The King. But by the 1970s Elvis did not look anywhere near as good as Paul does now. Sadly Elvis not only gained weight but got hooked on pills. And had questionable doctors giving him health advice. Don't forget, by the mid - 1970s there'd already been statins and ACE inhibitors developed for high blood pressure, heart, and cholesterol management. They were still very new medicines but as it turns out 40 years later they worked and still do. There's no reason why, with Elvis being Elvis, if he had a medical team of REAL doctors who were properly up to date on the available medications for his health situation, that he could not have been on at minimum a regulated prescription of proper vital medications that are very common for people today. What I'm trying to say is, if Elvis had good, real doctors even with his weight gain, he wouldn't have died at 42 years old. Even in 1977, there were medications available to stabilize his vital signs.

There is a. Very good reason for that.

Every man has an interesting story to tell at the age of 70.

Easy cowboy.

He just keep repeating the same stories over and over again actually. He avoids talking seriously by jumping into them.

Easy homocowboy

He's had quite a ride. What a long great live he's had. Read his biography, great book.

i agree. jealous people. i love pm!

Paul Ivey AKA keyboard warriors

Thanks for sharing and writing this informative article about Paul, my favorite Beatle.

FREEDOOOOOM!!!!

Nex Wex that is a trash story sir james Paul McCartney is alive

Pauls' got the best hair dye and dim lighting for his face creases

k3304 oh shut up you fkin bitch

k3304 As the smallest guest on the show, it should be no surprise that he's actually 5'9''. True fact.

he looks like a grandmother :) i george i love john i love ringo and i love paul but he just is :)

@ gee gee k- According to his official (1963) vital statistics, McCartney's height was listed as 5'11'' but according to tailor Dougie Millings (he's the one who made many of the Beatles early stage suits) measurement records, he measured 5'9'' back in 1962. That's what. Just saying, btw.

tbf that's Bilbo ur talkin about

@@philbabb6460 And Watson

+Vagner Souza dos Santos So it is! Can I have your autograph? lol :)

+SainterSan he'll write in on your ass in lipstick. ..like Gloria Vanderbilt always did.

Dude that's awesome!

Vagner Souza dos Santos, Yes!, It Is a Big Deal. • What an Incredibly Awesome experience for You. • And, "Thank You" for appreciating old-school timeless classic pop-rock. Please!?!, Pass it on to Others. • Bright Blessings. ; D

Brilliant!!

+mark rigg because everyone expected George's death. He died a natural death in that sense. John's death however was a shock to everyone.

I think it's because it was a murder, so it was more shocking? I don't know, I don't even like when they ask about John's or George's deaths; it brings down the mood and the interviewers ALWAYS have to pry about it and how SAD it was

+Maria de vries i have a question emmm the death of john lennon has the same impact as the michael jackson death? (sorry for my bad english)

Trevin Ellison I disagree. I think that the only reason George's death is less talked about by Paul and the world is because George's death was expected, and he died in a more peaceful manner. It has nothing to do with John doing more or being closer to Paul. Paul grew up with both George and John and considered them his best friends.

John died tragically. He was assassinated. George had cancer for a while before his death, and he got to say goodbye to his friends and family.. it's no less sad, but he had a chance to be with his loved ones.

the girl is mine is my favourite duet

Why is the Jackson collab a fav moment...? My fav moments were the Beatles era throughout. My dad died a few months ago and he made my listen to everything they did whilst growing up in the 80s. They are my fav band and always will be. They are the greatest songwriters of the 20th century and their popularity is still showing no signs of declining today. They wrote across most genres and the demographic mirrors this stunning talent. I thank my dad for educating me as to what is good music and what is not and I have played guitar for 30 yrs and have taught guitar also. Now I have quite extensive musical theory I can analyse their music and understand why their songs are so special. Their sense of melody is unsurpassed even by professional songwriters back then and now. To have three musical genius all in one band is just a fluke as all the stars lined up for them to break through...It's just a miracle that will never ever happen again such are the odds! We are so lucky to have their music now forever. My friend musicians have had kids and I tell them to expose their kids to high information music from the get go and give them the Beatles as they are growing up. This develops their ear and this is a wonderful gift for life.

@@MICKEYISLOWD Let her like the collab, it's great.

The eternal internet error of mixing loosing and losing

It's true, you can tell he's been through a lot, and since he was little. Which makes me think not only that he is obviously a strong man, but also with a wisdom that has allowed him to get over it and just live life giving himself to his art. A man of great resilience.

but better looking than you and you're a nothing that's why you're jealous of him.

Clarkson looks old compared to McCartney.
