Overview

• Asked about online guesses, Dickinson said the actor was not Ralph Fiennes and exclaimed, “I’ve been caught!” when Robert Lindsay was suggested, stopping short of a confirmation.
• Reporters have sought comment from representatives for Dickinson and Lindsay, and no public response has been published.
• Dickinson reiterated the incident involved a set “game” in which the impersonating actor answered “fish and chips” and “Love Island” to caricature his working-class background.
• He said taking on John Lennon felt “frightening” as he continues rehearsals, practicing guitar extensively and working closely with his fellow cast.
• Sam Mendes’ estate-backed four-film Beatles project remains set for a coordinated April 2028 theatrical rollout that Sony has billed as a “bingeable” big-screen event.
