Harris Dickinson Addresses Speculation Over Co‑Star Who Humiliated Him, Denies Ralph Fiennes

The remarks coincide with his preparation to play John Lennon in Sam Mendes’s four‑film Beatles project.

Overview

  • In a new interview with The Times, Dickinson said the unnamed older co‑star who mocked his background was not Ralph Fiennes, calling Fiennes “a sweetheart.”
  • When Robert Lindsay’s name was suggested, Dickinson replied, “F***! I’ve been caught!” without confirming the person’s identity or adding details.
  • He first described the incident in 2023, recounting a set game in which an actor impersonated him with class‑coded answers such as “fish ’n’ chips” and “Love Island.”
  • The Independent reports it has contacted representatives for comment, and the alleged co‑star has not been identified publicly.
  • Dickinson will portray John Lennon in Sam Mendes’s planned quartet of Beatles films, with Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan completing the lineup, and the releases are targeted for April 2028 as a “first bingeable theatrical experience.”
