Paul McCartney’s daughter, Mary, revealed how her legendary dad, 80, almost got run over on the same Abbey Road zebra crossing The Beatles were famously photographed on for the 1969 album cover.
Mary, 53, worked with Paul on the feature-length documentary, If These Walls Could Sing, which celebrates 90 years of the world-famous London recording studio Abbey Road.
The businesswoman and photographer spent an important part of her life in the popular studios while her parents recorded tracks with Wings, the band Paul formed after The Beatles parted ways in 1970.
For one of the scenes, Mary wanted to recreate the Abbey Road album cover, with her 80-year-old dad having a near miss in the attempt.
Mary recalled in an interview with the Mirror: “The bit where the car nearly ran him over on the zebra crossing, that was so funny.
“As we were leaving [the studio], I said, 'I'll film you [on the crossing],' and he went over and this car totally didn’t stop for him!”.
