Here comes the SON! Sir Paul McCartney’s look-alike James, 45, looks trendy in a t-shirt and blazer in a rare sighting after saying he wants to be ‘bigger than the Beatles’.
Sir Paul McCartney’s lookalike son James was pictured in a rare sighting in London on Wednesday.
The musician, 45, is the only son of Beatles icon Macca, 80, and his late wife Linda McCartney – his sisters are photographer Mary, 52, and designer Stella, 50.
He made an on-trend appearance at the outing, wearing a brown blazer and Maharishi University t-shirt, which he paired with loose-fitting pants.

He completed his look with a pair of box-fresh white Nike trainers.
Having largely avoided the limelight, even working as a waiter in Brighton, McCartney later followed in his father’s musical footsteps.
He has played on some of his father’s albums and has also released his own music.
He spent his first two and a half years traveling with his parents when they toured with their group Wings.

Could it be? He previously said he aims to be “better than the Beatles” with his own musical projects
He later played guitar on Sir Paul’s albums Flaming Pie and Driving Rain, as well as The Light Comes From Within – a track he recorded with his mother before her death from breast cancer in 1998.
In 2010 he released his debut single Available Light before releasing his first album Me in 2013 and his second The Blackberry Train in 2016 – both co-produced by his father.
He previously said his goal is to be “better than the Beatles.”
“When I got to a certain age, I realized that I was a little better at playing the guitar than other kids at school, and I was proud of it and enjoyed it,” he told the BBC in 2012.
“Back then, I dreamed of being better than the Beatles. I am not sure if I can do this. If anything, I’d love to be on par with the Beatles – but even that’s pretty tough.”

He also revealed he was considering forming a group with the descendants of the Fab Four, including Ringo Starr’s son Jason, 54, Lennon’s youngest son Sean, 46, and George Harrison’s only son, Dhani, 43.
Meanwhile, Sir Paul has reportedly raked in a whopping £1.5million in just 12 months by investing in burgeoning businesses.
The £800million singer founded MPL Ventures during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since backed a company that makes plant-based chicken and a music tech start-up behind ABBA’s latest album Voyage, as claimed became.
A source told The Sun: “Paul is a man of many talents and his new business is making big money. He uses the company to invest money in growing businesses and it works great.
“So far he has used cash to fund TiNDLE, which makes fake chickens in the US, and hopes to bring the product to the UK.
“Paul also invested in a UK-based music technology startup called Audoo. The choices may be a little less traditional than the stock market, but it’s paying off for Paul.”
