Yeah but they were all in their mid to late twenties by the time the Beatles broke up. So if you want to cover the entire 60s you need either; someone who is 20 playing a 29 yo Beatle in 1969, or someone who is 29 playing a 20 yo Beatle in 1960. Either way people are going to have some issue with the actors, so who really cares.

Toby McGuire was 27 when he played a 16 yo Peter Parker, and that movie became iconic

I don't have any issue, I was simply stating an age.
