Dentist Aims to Identify Potential Heirs of Lennon

Dr. Michael Zuk, a dentist who purchased John Lennon’s molar for £20,000 over a decade ago, is on a quest to identify any potential illegitimate children of the late Beatles icon. After grinding the tooth to extract DNA, Zuk believes it could lead to the discovery of unknown heirs, as Lennon may have fathered other children during his fame in the 1960s, a time when contraception was less common. While Lennon had two known children, Julian and Sean, Zuk speculates about the existence of additional offspring due to the singer's popularity with women. His search aims to help any discovered heirs claim a portion of Lennon's substantial estate, valued at approximately £490 million. Zuk acknowledges his personal interests in the matter, suggesting he may seek a share of any inheritance for himself. He emphasizes that while hush money may have been paid in the past, it does not negate the rights of any potential children.
