This shooting gives vibes of behind the scenes of a 90's sitcom
The Beatles disguised for a scene during the shooting of Help! in 1965.
It was mcharrison all along
[John] was so excited about Yoko’s arrival that he could not stop talking and the subject on his mind was sex. He said that working always made him very “horny” and that he could not wait to “jump Mother’s bones.” He told me that when he appeared on stage with the Beatles, he would often demand that a female fan be held in the wings so that he could have a “knee-trembler” – which was Liverpool slang for quick stand-up sex – before or after the performance (or, occasionally, even between songs). “I was always obsessed with sex,” John confessed. “I’d run after girls and feel them up, put them up against a wall, that sort of thing.” He said he lost his virginity at age fifteen with his first girlfriend, Barbara Baker, a buxom, buck-toothed beauty. John then described the deflowering. “Barb wasn’t wet and I had a hell of a time shoving it in,” he said nonchalantly. “I was frantic to get inside her, and when I couldn’t, I got so frustrated and angry that I started to curse her: ‘You dumb cow, what’s wrong with you? You’re tight as a rat’s ear!’” John paused, shook his head and smiled. “It wasn’t her fault, of course. But what did I know? I was just a weird, psychotic kid covering up my insecurity with a macho façade.” Ruminating about his clumsy, often violent approach to love-making, he said that he never used to engage in foreplay; he would immediately attempt penetration. “I had no idea you were supposed to take your time,” he laughed nervously. “I thought the idea was to get in and out as quickly as possible.” He also told me that he would sometimes write his girlfriends erotic letters. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they show up one of these days, hopefully after I’m dead.” John paused briefly to sip the beer a light a fresh Gitane. “I think after my mother was killed, I felt betrayed by all womankind,” he continued. “I used to have fantasies about torturing women to death. I still have a lot of violent fantasies, but I manage to keep them under control.” He said that if he let his imagination run wild, he would imagine crucifying women, actually nailing them to a cross, and then disemboweling them. “It wasn’t until I met Yoko that I realized that men didn’t have to be aggressive, didn’t have to be macho, that men could be gentle and tender. That’s the lesson Yoko taught me.”

JANUARY 30, 1969 “I love when Paul jumps up and down on the plank, to see if it’s going to hold his weight. He comes across being as hard as nails. They’re all complaining about the cold, but he’s wearing less clothes than anyone else. He’d like to do a two-hour set—impervious to any temperature whatsoever.”— Giles Martin
No one talks about enough how people were quoted saying that if you slept in a bed with George Harrison you’d end up cuddled with him in the night and basically wake up in his arms with that in mind….McHarrison Snuggles on the hitchhiking trip?!
