Overview

• Dickinson said the actor who mocked his background was not Ralph Fiennes, calling his King’s Man co-star a sweetheart.
• When Robert Lindsay’s name was floated, Dickinson replied, “F***! I’ve been caught!”, though he did not explicitly confirm an identity.
• The revived attention follows Dickinson’s 2023 account of an older, middle-to-upper-class co-star who humiliated him during a guessing game using class stereotypes like fish and chips and Love Island.
• Dickinson is set to portray John Lennon in Sam Mendes’s authorised four-film Beatles project, positioned as a theatrical binge experience.
• Sony and Mendes have targeted April 2028 for the clustered release, with Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan cast as McCartney, Harrison and Starr.
