Who is Paul McCartney's favorite member of the Beatles?
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, 83, opened up about his current and former favorite member of the "Hey Jude" band between himself, Ringo Starr, George Harrison and John Lennon in a new interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date.
"Favorite Beatle? Well, there’s only one left," began McCartney, 83. "Now, it’s Ringo. During the Beatles, I think we all used to look up to John."
He explained, "He was like the leader even though there wasn’t officially a leader of the group. And he was very witty, and he was great to have in the group. I think all of us might have said John was our favorite."
Elsewhere in the interview, McCartney told a funny story about encountering a woman who performs a certain Beatles song at a retirement home.

"I’ve got a song, ‘When I’m 64,’ an old Beatles song, and I had this old lady come up to me once," he began. "She said, ‘You know, I do one of your songs.’ She said, ‘I work at an old people’s home.’"
McCartney continued, "She said, ‘I do one of your songs.’ I said, ‘Oh, yeah, but which one?’ She said, 'When I’m 64.' She said, ‘But I had to change the words ‘cause that’s too young for my people. So, I had to change it to when I’m 84.’"
