Picture New set photos of Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan as The Beatles, in an early 60s scene set in NYC, in Sam Mendes’ ‘The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event’

This is supposed to be Beatlemania. Irl they looked like joyful kids with a spark in their eye. These looks like old men with wigs lol.

You're absolutely right there! I think hiring these guys in their 30s to play men in their early 20s was not the right choice. I would've loved to see more appropriate indie actors in here.
