Mescal and Dickinson Snack as Beatles Biopic Shoots

They may be the masterminds some of the most iconic songs in history.

But instead of fame and fortune, it seemed that all The needed was grub, or at least that was the case for the stars of the upcoming biopics on the Fab Four.

During filming in Liverpool on Wednesday, stars  and Harris Dickinson were seen tucking into a portion of chips during a break from filming.

The pair are set to play and respectively in Sam Mendes' ambitious four-film project documenting the group's emergence from Liverpool's subterranean Cavern Club to become the biggest and most influential band in the world. 

An assuming street was transported back to the 1960s as Paul and Harris were seen picking up a cone of chips, wrapped in newspaper, from a nearby stand.

Having already filmed raucous scenes in central London, production was recently relocated to outside Sir Paul McCartney's real childhood home.

Mescal and Harrison will star  alongside Joseph Quinn as , and as in four new films about The Beatles.

A strong supporting cast includes Aimee Lou Wood as Harrison's model wife Pattie Boyd, Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono and James Norton as the band's manager, Brian Epstein.

There will also be appearances from Mia McKenna-Bruce as Starr's first wife, Maureen Starkey, and Harry Lloyd as George Martin, the record producer with whom The Beatles worked on all of their eleven studio albums.

The Daily Mail previously revealed that the Beatles biopics will also be filmed at London's iconic Abbey Road Studios, with production getting underway in November last year despite earlier reports that plans had been blocked.

While it was claimed that Westminster Council would not allow filming at the famous zebra crossing, the council has since confirmed to the Daily Mail that production will be going ahead.

Mendes had wanted to recreate the Beatles' 1969 album cover on the crossing.

Westminster Council told the Daily Mail that they are, in fact, working closely with production teams to facilitate filming, which will involve closing the road.

Speaking at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas last April, an event the cast also attended, Mendes described the films as the 'first binge-able theatrical experience'.

The project marks the first time Apple Corps Ltd and The Beatles – Sir Paul, Sir Ringo, and the families of Lennon and Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.

Starr previously hinted that Saltburn star Keoghan had taken on the role.

He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.'

When Sir Ridley Scott was promoting his second Roman epic Gladiator II, he revealed leading man Mescal was joining the Beatles project, telling an industry event that the actor was 'actually stacked up, doing the Beatles next' so he may not be able to join him on his next film.

Keoghan recently admitted that he wasn't able to look Beatles legend Ringo in the eye during their first meeting because he was overcome with nerves.

While the actor described their meeting as 'lovely', he told Jimmy Kimmel Live that he was so starstruck he struggled to make eye contact with the drummer.

He recalled: 'I met him at his house, and he played the drums for me. He asked me to play, but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo.'

Asked if he was able to 'study' the musician, he added: 'I was. And when I was talking to him, I couldn't look at him. I was nervous, like right now. But he's like, "You can look at me."'

Titled The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event, the project was announced last year.

The movies will each take the perspective of one member of The Beatles as they evolve from unknowns in Liverpool in the early 1960s to becoming the biggest band in the world and then breaking up in 1970.

It’s the first time that surviving Beatles McCartney and Starr, and the families of the late Lennon and Harrison, have given the rights to feature films about them.
