Barry Keoghan Cast as Ringo Starr in Biopic

Ringo Starr has seemingly confirmed that Barry Keoghan is set to play him in Sam Mendes' upcoming four-part Beatles biopic series, which will explore the lives of each band member from their individual perspectives. During an interview, Starr expressed his approval of Keoghan, humorously noting, "I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons. I hope not too many." However, sources indicate that no official casting deals have been finalized as of now, despite ongoing speculation about other actors for the remaining roles, such as Harris Dickinson and Paul Mescal. The films are slated for theatrical release in 2027, with Mendes aiming to provide a fresh take on the legendary band's story. Meanwhile, the Beatles recently received Grammy nominations for their AI-assisted song “Now And Then,” showcasing their enduring legacy. The excitement surrounding the biopic reflects continued interest in the Fab Four decades after their breakup.
