Paul McCartney interview, Nationwide, January 1982

[heartThebeatles1]

his voice makes me cry.

[TheMelissabf]

he doesn't even have wrinkles!!! at 40

[queerp]

@TheMelissabf 40s not that old. that would be pretty sad if you had wrinkles at 40... just wait till you're that age. it's not as old as you may think

[brennanmoriarty]

'domestic bliss' on the left-coast... respons-ability was john lennons ritous-miss.

just cast your eye, sire, not where to diss. "i'm a looser' i Only wish. John would smile his fist, and George alive had a list. uk & ireland's royal kiss? lefthandER ALIVE.

[careerofbeingblue]

The world is lucky to have him.

[chookieJS]

I really love him.

[Dan5cerKa5t]

i love the piece of film with him and his kids its so cute!!!!!!

[Dan5cerKa5t]

"i'd be lucky if i get 2 be old"

he is 69 now

not there yet

[guineapigcat]

Gosh he is sooooo cute! He didn't die in 1966, by the way. I've seen tons of photo comparisons and mannerism comparisons. I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LovelyBubbyMarie]

Whadda babe.(:

[me4ever22c]

@TheAOGK @MrOrganiic I saw that film. It was a complete load of shit. So many inconsistencies. For starters, "George" claims that there are clues on Rubber Soul, Revolver and Yesterday...And Today, though these albums were released prior to Paul's "death". Also, he claims that Only A Northern Song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, though it was written by George Harrison. The film is fucking bullshit. Don't believe that propaganda shit.

[me4ever22c]

@TheAOGK @MrOrganiic Also, "George" says clearly that Paul's parentS were at the funeral, the S capitalized because Paul's mother died when Paul was a teen.

[SeasonedTravler]

Paul was certainly kinder to Julian Lennon than John Lennon was. John was supremely talented, but not supremely kind.

[Yanksuk2007]

what version of yesterday is this!?!?! i want it!!

[BeatleUniversity]

Writing a swimming pool. I really like that!

[MattHatter]

The aging process is a strange thing. There are points where people look older when they're younger and then vice versa. We seem to age only at certain points, then the process halts for a bit, then starts it's next phase and we age that much further. Some people age too fast due to stress and some look like they don't age at all!

[metsman1019]

"record before" lol

[Zimnyification]

"You kind of just do what you do really..."

True that brother.

[Zimnyification]

Hello? He's not here...

[chopinesprit]

siempre crei que paul era mal padre como otros famosos, que no disfrutaba la vida familiar y no es asi.

[chopinesprit]

paul puede ser frio ante las camaras, pero eso no significa que no haya sufrido la muerte de john. me enferma que lo critiquen por eso.

[11caulfield]

I hadn't liked him as first impression, but when I obtained more knowledge about his life, I really began to respect and admire him. Especially for what he did for Julian Lennon and the way he treated his own family. Of course I needn't to praise his exceptional songwriting ability which is obvious.

[jaxterboy]

There are many pictures of Paul in the 60's in Abbey Road playing a Fender Jazz bass. And of John and George (look at the video for Hey Jude) playing a Fender VI (six string bass, simply an octave lower than a guitar), but I too have never seen him play one live!

[ThomasDeLello]

That's the first time I have ever seen Sir Paul play a Fender bass guitar.

[Paulmaclover1234]

OMG HE LOOKS 22!!!!!!!!

[softsummernights]

faul

[TheSarna8]

@softsummernights faul lennon!!!!

[CuteMcBeauty]

Hahahaha stella's teeny tiny baby tushie!! HAHAHAHA! Paul was known for being a super dad.... I would have loved to have been the super mom!! :D

[relimes]

hey where are those clips of when john lennon was in the bath tub and farting bubbles, must have been in the early 70s or something.

[chickenbutt6000]

sagginnnngg ever'thing. lol

[rissygirly22]

Liverpudlian people are so charming(: <3 I love paul's sense of humor. "you got some gray hair" "I KNOW SUE...DO YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM?" *bells ring* "hello? he's not here" i love him xD<3 i love how he says "i don't care. there's nothing i can do about it' it's so cute xD<333 but he's truly a brilliant musician and a great family man(:

[XsbcatfangX]

"Sagging Everything..." Images in my mind, Paul. IMAGES IN MY MIND.

[perspect19]

It's official...I'm in love with this man :D

[KatieFuller4688]

even at 39, still better looking than bieber.

[CuteMcBeauty]

@KatieFuller4688 Even my dog's ASS looks better than Bieber... Let alone Paul McCartney, sexiest man of his generation... and the next three...

[rollingstonesgirl99]

hes such a beautiful man! his personal lives with kids, and how he felt there was no need to spoil them and such. how he knows there was nothing he could do about johns murder and took it like a man! hes just so amazing, no wonder why soo many people look up to him! i know i do, and come on, almost 40 and still so GORGEOUS! goo paul! :D <3

[Burntsnare]

I'll be lucky to get old,

Shout out to Lennon. epic.

[albuorkka]

He's wearing a kilt??huh,it suits him^^

[Georgikinz]

awww I died when I watched the bit of him playing with his kids!

soooo cute.

[breakingfree72]

Why isn't he wearing pants in that video?? I would be seriously disturbed if my dad was playing with my brother and me while wearing a shirt and NO PANTS!!

[hofner96]

@breakingfree72 They were just swimming and having fun......nothing perverted

[bunnster16]

@breakingfree72 Back then, the swimming trunks were like underwear. He's wearing swimming trunks.

[johnbailiol]

@breakingfree72

Those were the style in swimming trunks in the 70's. And women used to wear "hot pants" otherwise called short shorts. Look those sometime. Ahh the memories of the 70's

[rissygirly22]

aah i love him(: who old is he here in this interview? 40's? wow...he still looks pretty young to be 40. he has an adorable baby face!!! :D and i love his sense of humor. and he seems like sucha great daddy to his kids :)

[wilberman]

@rissygirly22 He was 39 at the time!

[rissygirly22]

@wilberman REALLY?! he looks 30 here. he's definetly got that baby face

[wilberman]

@rissygirly22 I put it down to the fact he's a vegetarian and a musician with a child-like enthusiasm for life and a positive attitude! That's gotta keep you young!!!

[Gynecologist]

@wilberman genetic

[MandyVin17]

@wilberman Gee whiz Wilber! Golly, that's a positive outlook you got there.

[wilberman]

@MandyVin17 Thanks!



[TheHUMANIDEE]

@wilberman @wilberman - No it's the facial surgery!

[ChiroQuacker]

@wilberman

if he had been married to yoko he would look ten years older then his age...as john did

[bodhimian]

@rissygirly22 i think its big almond eyes and a pouty bottom lip that gives him that look :)

[mscrazyeliot]

@rissygirly22 Oh, yes he IS a adorable, incredible good daddy....oh i'd love to has him as my father.♥

[LiVeNleRn123]

@rissygirly22 fucking campbell.... R.I.P Paul.

[nosoup4u64]

he sounds surprisingly NOT LIKE A SCOUSER.

[paolomanueldec]

@nosoup4u64 maybe it's cause he went to london when he was 20, and never went back to liverpool

[LasgalenOsten]

"If it had been the other way around" that gave me the bad chills :( I don't ever want to think of his death, I'm 22 and I really want to die before he does.

[tall32guy]

That was so cute, him with his kids!!! What a great daddy. :)

[BeatlesMania2010]

awwwwh...Paul playing with his kids!! that is soooo adorable(:

[ndgreenaway]

grey hair at 40...well he still doesnt have any ...hmmm

[wilbervision]

@ndgreenaway I wont tell if you don't! (Let's just assume it's the restorative power of music!)

[Dsarsorito]

@ndgreenaway He dyes it my friend. there's a lot of pics i've seen where he's greying, especially from the 90's

[xXDizzyMissLizzyXx]

awww paul playing with his kids! i wish he was my dad :)

[bladesofglory12]

"I feel lucky to become old."

[angelika1g6a]

Paul was so sexy at the age of 40

[Pllye]

Paul Mcartney seems like he'd be a really nice guy.

[Pllye]

haha Paul Mcartney seems like he'd be a really nice guy.

[metsman1019]

record before!!

[hattierepo]

i know sue !!!!

[marvy1118]

"I'll be lucky if I GET to be old!" Paul, always looking at the positive side of life.

[jammmon]

Lol, "I'll be happy if I get to be old"

Unlike johnny?

[moviemakerpeoples025]

'you got some grey hairs' 'I KNOW SUE!!!" LOL!!! I LOVE HIM!!! OMG KOALA BEAR!!! :O 'I'll be lucky if I get old..." :'( that makes me sad!!! he's such a good dad!! :D when she said the thing about John, he was like, 'Really? You had to say THAT?! You're already making me feel OLD!!!'

[grgharrison9]

Hello? He's not here!!!! Hahahahhahaha Paul is funnnnnnnny!

[TheBunnySensation]

what is the 2nd song played in this video? at 2:23

[wilbervision]

@TheBunnySensation It's "Got to get you into my life" which is from Revolver, the 1966 Beatles album. This version is by Wings playing in 1979, possibly in Liverpool! Hope that helps!!

[TheBunnySensation]

@wilbervision yes it did thx

[BrawlRocker397]

@TheBunnySensation got to get you into my life

[Stevesk0011]

band on the run.....too fast

[kaisariani]

i am not used seeing paul at concerts when he was younger 2:50

[Hadeydeppio]

omfg 0:13 who is that? id be soo scared for my life!

[kaisariani]

@Hadeydeppio lol,i really enjoyed the comment,be well

[fairyfellermaster]

@Hadeydeppio that's ringo leaving his house and getting mobbed lol.

[Hadeydeppio]

@fairyfellermaster omg poor boy !

[peterpeterxxo]

@Hadeydeppio it wasnt real, the crowd were all acting it was done for a tv piece on merseybeast i think in 1963, it was near where he lived as a kid but not his actual old home..they were all living in london by nthen, ringo n george shared a flat in i think kensington.

[userboy6]

i love John Lennon, but this is good too.

[MaluFontenelle]

I miss John.... he was more real...

[skint0n0minted]

@MaluFontenelle he was a smack head, Paul is just as real, but a better artist

[happycali09]

I want Paul so bad!

[EruptionINmyPants]

paul's got a great sense of humor haha.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

"I`m lucky to get old"....So true isn`t it? So many who aren`t that lucky. People die everyday from ages zero to 40.

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@JamesTKirkCobain I agree- and it shows how humble Paul is..I think he's sad though that John and George didn't live to be old and Paul's mother died when Paul was a tenn and Linda died young..its so sad I hope Paul lives to be really old to make up for all the losses.

[xSukai]

I laughed so hard when his daughter smacked him on the butt and they all started playing. It's so great to see this beyond famous man having time for his children like every other dad. (: So cute!

[michuvede]

xD1:02

[johnreagannumber1]

"I'd be lucky if I get to be old" ... You sure did Paul and there's so much more left for you and us fans.

[kincaide67]

"I'll be lucky if I get to be old." Wow! Paul, you Lucky man! Great interview!

[katrin2801]

Dont blame Macca. Hes really very gentle and nice man.

And he loved (s) John and admits it-in "Here Today" and various interviews.

Every time hes been questioned of John- tears appear in his eyes. Even now!!!

[rrats109]

@katrin2801 crocodile tears!!!

[BaileyAndBrooke]

He loved John more than anyone, I'm sure. They were BEST FRIENDS. They had gone through so much together for so long. They met when they were like 14-15! And there was so much going on between the two. They had made up right before John died, though. I guess it just messed with Paul so much because he had just gotten his friendship back and it was brutally taken away from him. And he was afraid for his own life..

And I don't blame him!

[vagn52]

great reply

thanks

[greenhalos725]

@BaileyAndBrooke With the yesterday song playing... your comment made me sob.

[zukolover666]

@BaileyAndBrooke thay met when John was 17 and Paul was 16, but you were right about them being best friends.

[romans52345]

@BaileyAndBrooke Paul was closer to George than John....

[bluemoon4111]

@BaileyAndBrooke DO you think more than Linda?

[brasled]

He obviously didn't want to think about it at that moment, "drag, isn't it" and so he blew off the journalists with callousness. Probably not the best way to handle it, but perfectly understandable when you don't want to share the mixed feelings inside of you. Leave it be. He broke away quick after that, because he just couldn't discuss something so private to him.

[Melevolentzeroenvoy]

Paul,just Paul,man!

[mazyrun09]

this fella made gave us some great fuckin tunes ....and you use yt to pull him up about ...wait for it ... dying his fuckin hair hahaha !Long Live The Beatles !

[BaileyAndBrooke]

great interview by the waaay:). ahahaa.

i love me some macca:)!

[565tsunade565]

this is one of my fave interviews ever!!!

[wilbervision]

It's pretty good isn't it? Glad you like it!

[565tsunade565]

ya thanks for uploading :)

[tazzman560]

writing songs for things you needed that was funny lol

[Nigelxman]

Paul is totally stoned here :-) How cool would to get high with Paul? :-)

[wilbervision]

I never thought of that! That would be a mad evening!!

[beatlejuice72]

I don't think he's stoned here.

[SoulTravellers]

I always get high with him...just not in person unfortunately ;)

[RoadienicknamedRor]

He ain't stoned, he's just charming!

[linemansa]

man i love band on the run

[TheYellowSubmarine13]

Ahahaha, yeah but she's only like, two! And they were in Africa at the time so they were all probably VERY hot! I loved this interview! =D

[johnnybermo]

No I think it's just you not wearing underwear

[pennylaneisyours1]

what was that song at 1:18

[BritneyMocha]

Band on the run

[wilbervision]

It's "Band on the run". Sounds slightly speeded up, but it is the actual version.

[KaJoMaSh]

You can see how hard it is for him to talk about John's death. Love you Paul!

[tonynomis]

If this is right before TUG OF WAR came out then al the time he took was well worth it.

Best post WINGS album he did.

[juleneee]

best looking 40 year old ever.

[toryst478]

Fascinating! Would love to see the rest of it.

[wilberman]

That was all they broadcast. So you're not missing anything else...

By the way do you or anyone remember (or seen on youtube) an ad promoting "Wings Greatest" from 1978? He's in a car with the rest of Wings and says "you're a bit flat mate" to a lorry driver. I'd love to see that again!!

[sweeneysbabe63]

"i know Sue! do you have to tell them?"

Paul, you're beautiful...

Macca in a kilt...that's probably the most fabulous thing ever

[purrcyandangel]

You can tell how much he misses John. It hurt to see how he choked back his tears when Sue first mentioned John's murder. Even though they had differences, Beatles fans know they loved each other very much. I wonder what John would be doing now... RIP, John.

[XxtriphopcabaretxX]

notice Paul says he's 'lucky if he gets to be old'..because John didn't

[TheBeatlesL0VE]

John Died at 40 Which is the same age as Paul in this interview Paul's 2 years younger

[Revolution977]

You say it's your birthday

It's my birthday too, yeah

They say it's your birthday

We're gonna have a good time

I'm glad it's your birthday

Happy birthday to you!!

P.S. I love you :)

[JayMaySayHey]

The "umm" at 6:20 was cracking; it almost lost it, a rare event for Paul since he's great at keeping such emotions private. It did cry during his ballad for John, "Here Today", at the Amoeba record store in LA... check it out on, where else? YouTube!

[beatlific]

Paul later said that he almost "burst into tears" at 6:19 when they started talking about John's murder.

Paul is a superstar.

[ShereeSpeaks4]

I love Paul. :)

[SirNorwayDaniel]

Damn Yoko :( she dint like Paul X3 what the hell is wrong whit Paul X3 omg >:(

[thebeatledude]

you can tell the John question saddened him. He did his little eye roll thing. He does the same thing and almost cries on another interview about John. I can't stand it when people say he didn't care about it. After going through what they went through, they could dislike on the surface, but deep down they were like brothers.

[untamed94]

What ssong is paul singing at 2: 24

[nanna1806]

got to get you into my life, by the beatles. he wrote it though.

[nrlnd70]

You know what? I'm so proud of Sir Paul Mccartney because he's a great musician! One of his fans was definitely Sue Lawley herself because she loves to play The Beatles Songs!

[dianamagupayo]

Yes, I too love The Beatles, including the bassist and pianist, Paul McCartney. Ms. Lawley said today that she likes "Hey, Jude" because that's her favorite! Diana M. May 3, 2009

[xXxHippySexxXx]

I love to see him playing with his kids:))

listen how he says John quietly at 6:19...

: ' ) RIP Johnny

[jet51100]

Wow, glad you pointed that out. I totally missed it, very sad. Still love Paul!

[purplecherrycake]

I dont really understand how this music got passed and forgotten. When I was a kid, i listened to the beatles and the stones almost everyday. When I had Kids, They just listen to some idiotic music from Hannah Montana and the Jonas brothers. My older son loves soulja boy and flo rida. Where is a;; the passion and romance in the beatles? Im still so confused about what happened. Anyways, R.I.P John!

[BlackieHugeHands]

wait till they get older. they'll figure it out

[rareu4532]

last question about john, :*(

[LoveSenseDimension]

He's the best.

[SweetBeatles]

que sexi

[Fuckustupidasshoe]

lol i <3 paul.he is so amazing and awsum :)

[probass82]

"IF I didn't get paid I'd Still do it"

That's what I love about Him, It aint for the Pool!!!!!!!

[TakoYakiAsagi]

I love seeing him just being happy and goofing around, like there with his kids. ^^ That's the real Paulie, and it's lovely. =3

[viceguy1986]

he looks like he did when he was with the beatles in this video lol

[MattHatter]

Damn he looks so youthful right here. It's almost like he's being interviewed when he was still with The Beatles. That beard and the mullets throughout the '70s took him in all sort of odd stylistic directions!

[beatlejuice72]

It was the times. Guys were wearing long hair in the '70s and by the early '80s that was going out and they began to cut their hair a bit shorter. Nowadays it seems as if the young people are going back to the 1970s as far as hair goes.

[llpowers]

and i love seeing him as a dad with little kids. aww, y must the beatles also bring tears

[llpowers]

aww, he is so young and cute. lol

im going to miss him. aaaghhh!!! paul i love u!!!! please dont leave <33ur so funny, and one of the 4 best musicians there will ever be.

[jnoble12]

"you havent' had a record in a long time"

his most recent one up to this period was McCartney II in 1980. That's a "long time"? Maybe back in those days.

[freakheavy]

there's bitterness there when he says that he'll be lucky to get to be old; seems like a john reference. and what he says about if it had been the other way around and if she were asking john that question, etc., is heavy as fuck.

[beatlejuice72]

I don't think it was bitterness at all. I think he was making a point about how not many pop and rock stars make it to old age.

[hamishmcduff]

I totally agree. I got that too.

[EuroZorro]

Billy is here...

[ivystorm94]

The part with the kids one of his kids with the yellow shirt had no diaper on. XD

[CassiusOwens]

Paul & John "we need a pool we better write some hits". funny.

[viceguy1986]

lady: you got some grey hair. paul: i know sue, do you have to tell them. lmao

[sunnypie2]

His adorable kids were bouncing up and down without seatbelts!

[WeirdoKatie]

he has kids? i didnt know that

[Ulisestkd]

does he still write songs?

[LCDaftpunk]

yes iam pretty sure he dose

5:37 is t
