Paul McCartney just gave one of his most candid interviews in years on Good Hang with Amy Poehler, and the episode covers a lot of ground. He teared up remembering his late wife Linda and her love of animals, calling her view of them straight out of a Disney movie. He also reflected on his Beatles bandmates, saying his fandom for John, George and Ringo has only grown over time.
Then the conversation went somewhere unexpected. McCartney broke down his pre-show breakfast routine in exact detail, cereal with five raspberries, blueberries, a strawberry, pecans and raisins, and no caffeine. He also admitted he’s too intimidated to call Bob Dylan for a collaboration, listens to the Beatles channel on SiriusXM in his own car, and has some nerves about how Sam Mendes will portray him in the upcoming biopics. Stella McCartney joined for a rare father-daughter moment.
The whole episode lands as warm, funny and surprisingly vulnerable, which is why fans are calling it a standout. It’s worth the full listen if you want the softer side of a legend who usually keeps things close.
