Harris Dickinson, the biopic star of the Beatles who will play John Lennon in the highly anticipated films, has criticized another Hollywood star calling them “w*****s.”
In a rant about how he treated him on set, Harris Dickinson has called one of his Hollywood peers a “middle class w*****.”
The up and coming star is set to appear as music icon John Lennon in the upcoming four-part movie anthology based on The Beatles. His co-stars include Irish Oscar-nominated actor Paul Mescal who will play Sir Paul McCartney, fellow Irish Oscar-nominee Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn playing the late George Harrison.
To best represent John’s character, the actor will use his upbringing in a working-class British family in east London. His co-stars haven’t always been a happy person because they accuse another actor he worked with of stifling him because of his humble roots.

In a previous interview, Harris claimed that the team used a number of social class cliches to describe the actor when they were playing a game where coworkers had to ask them to guess who it was by asking them a series of questions to make them think they were able to guess who it was.
Asked “what food are you?” they replied fish ’n’ chips, and when questioned “what TV show are you?” they quipped that they would be Love Island.
In a new interview with The Times, his old comments were revisited when Harris was informed his fans have been trying to work out the identity of the actor by going through his credits on IMBD.
Harris dropped hints to the contrary as he read through Times readers’ comments, with many claiming it was Ralph Fiennes, as he refused to directly name the actor he was referring to.
He responded, “No, Ralph, it’s not you. Ralph is a “sheepheart,” praising his co-star from the 2021 smash hit film The King’s Man. However, when Robert Lindsay’s speculation about him being his 2019 Maleficent: Mistress of Evil co-star surfaced, he appeared to confirm the suspicion.
He said, “F***! I’ve been caught!” but did not give away any further details on what had happened between them or clarify if he was joking. The Mirror has approached representatives for Robert Lindsay for comment on this story.
All four movies will be released in the same month as the Beatles project, with each film examining the individual Beatles members’ perspectives.
At least one of the biopics will be directed by filmmaker Sam Mendes, who first introduced them at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas.
Additionally, he added that Sony’s Tom Rothman has called the movies “the first bingeable theatrical experience,” and that a preliminary release date is anticipated to be April 2028.
We’re making four movies about the Beatles, according to Sam. Perhaps this will give them a better understanding of them. My understanding of music was altered by The Beatles. Years ago, I tried to make a movie about them.
Harris is already gaining acclaim in Hollywood thanks to recent roles in the erotic thriller Babygirl, The Iron Claw, Jeremy Allen White and Zac Efron, and the movie adaptation of the best-selling novel Where The Crawdads Sing, among others.
