After more than 60 years, Paul McCartney<\/a> has finally revealed to the world his favourite member of The Beatles.<\/p>\n McCartney shared the secret on the latest episode of Chicken Shop Date, of all places, when he headed down to the Temple of Seitan in Camden with host Amelia Dimoldenberg.<\/p>\n While the conversation had many moments to remember, such as McCartney reminiscing about setting fire to a condom<\/a> in Hamburg with Pete Best and explaining why you should never grow marijuana, him speaking about his late Beatles bandmates was the true highlight.<\/p>\n When asked the big question about whether Ringo, George or John was his favourite Beatle, he solemnly shared, \u201cWell, there\u2019s only one left. Now, currently, it\u2019s Ringo.\u201d<\/p>\n However, that wasn\u2019t always the case with McCartney casting his mind back, adding, \u201cDuring The Beatles, I think we all used to look up to John; he was like the leader, even though there wasn\u2019t officially a leader of the group. He was very witty, and he was great to have in the group.\u201d<\/p>\n On behalf of George and Ringo, he added, \u201cI think all of us might have said John was the leader of the group.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, earlier this week, McCartney mourned the loss<\/a> of Lennon and Harrison, admitting to The Guardian of their deaths, \u201cYou do miss them. I start to get very sad, and I have to think, Wow, wait a minute,\u00a0everyone misses them<\/a>, it\u2019s not just me.\u201d<\/p>\n He also recently revealed in conversation with Paul Mescal, who is set to play him in Sam Mendes\u2019 biopics on The Beatles, that he still speaks with Lennon<\/a> during the songwriting process.<\/p>\n McCartney confessed, \u201cOn this record, I might even refer to him in my mind, as if we\u2019re still writing together. I\u2019ll write something and go, \u2018What\u2019s that? Is that any good?\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Being prompted further by Mescal about the influence of Lennon\u2019s voice in his head, McCartney joked: \u201cSometimes I\u2019ll get away with it, and sometimes he\u2019ll go, \u2018No, it\u2019s shit\u2019,\u201d before adding, \u201cBut his spirit\u2019s still in me, and I\u2019m glad of that. And George, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
