Sir has admitted he was overbearing and has bought into the criticism that he broke up The .
The musician, 83, has recently created a new Prime Video documentary, Paul McCartney Man On The Run.
The project follows Paul's extraordinary life following the breakup of The Beatles and his time as a solo artist and a part of his later band, Wings.
But as he reflected on his career in an interview with director Morgan Neville, Paul spoke about how he feels when he is criticised by people.
He remarked: 'Whenever I hear someone damning Paul McCartney, I tend to agree with them.
'So when everyone was saying I broke up the Beatles, and I was just overbearing and all of that, I kind of bought into it.'

This isn't the only time Sir Paul has become emotional when talking about the documentary.
During a screening of the release in London earlier this year, he admitted he felt 'emotional' upon seeing his late wife Linda McCartney in the programme.
Linda, who died in 1998, shared four children with Sir Pau, including Heather, 63, who was adopted, Mary, 56, Stella, 53, and James, 48.
Sir Paul said it helped him deal with the tumultuous time he faced following the break-up of The Beatles.

He said: 'Seeing me and Linda interacting is very special because, you know, she is not here anymore. Me and Linda, the kids. The music. Me and John [Lennon].
'These memories, it is like a life flashing in front of you. There are so many cool things. Even though there are some embarrassing moments, I come out of it thinking, "Yeah, I'm OK".
'All the stuff with the kids and Linda is lovely to see. Obviously, it's emotional because she looks so beautiful. She's so cool.'
It comes after just last month Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Joseph Quinn and Harris Dickinson gave Beatles fans a first glimpse at their upcoming four-part anthology in the first look images.
