Sir Paul McCartney embraces lookalike grandson Arthur on a trip to the cinema
BEATLES legend Sir Paul McCartney was all smiles as he went to the pictures this week.
The crooner, 80, was joined at Everyman Cinema in Maida Vale, West London, last week with his American wife Nancy Shevell, 62, and lookalike eldest grandson Arthur, 26, son of his photographer daughter Mary.
Paul was dressed in a smart blue blazer, shirt, black jeans and trainers as he removed his sunglasses to embrace brainy Arthur, Mary’s elder son by her first husband, TV producer Alistair Donald.
Paul’s doppelganger recently embarked in a career in finance, working as an investment banking analyst at Goldman Sachs bank, having graduated from prestigious Yale University, in America.
Dad-of-five Paul, who was given the nickname ‘Grandude’ by his eight grandchildren, spoke fondly in 2019 about how much he enjoyed spending time with them.
He said: “The main time I am with them is on holiday. We have a couple of holidays every year with them.

“I picked up a rug in America that says ‘Grandchildren spoilt here!’”
