The director for The 40-Year Old Virgin wanted to invite the Beatle for lunch.
Judd Apatow is a comedy director famous for his films, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked-Up, and Superbad. He recently appeared on the late night talk show Conan and shared a story of when Paul McCartney said “no” to him.
Apparently, Apatow was doing stand-up and improv comedy shows in New York and, as he explained, Paul McCartney “kept coming in”.
“He loves comedy,” Apatow said. “He’s like a great guy. He was always hilarious. That’s why we like The Beatles, because they were always so funny.”
“I would say hello to him afterwards nervously and then after a couple of times, I thought, ‘Maybe I might ask him out to lunch’. Right? And so I had a piece of paper and a pen and was like, ‘Hey, we should go out to lunch’… He was very nice but he instinctively said no. He found a nice way to do it. Then the next day, my friend said, ‘Hey, I took pictures of you while you were talking to Paul McCartney’ and he found a photo of that moment.”
Apatow then shared the photo of McCartney recoiling away from him with his hands in the air. See it in the video below.
