Los Angeles, Jan 10 (NationPress) Sir Paul McCartney, the iconic member of The Beatles, recently delighted actor George Clooney with a private performance, leaving the actor profoundly thankful. The renowned singer serenaded Clooney with the beloved track 'When I'm Sixty-Four' to celebrate his milestone birthday last year.

The Hollywood star commemorated this significant moment in May 2025 and disclosed that McCartney had sent him a special video message featuring a rendition of the classic Beatles song as a birthday treat, as reported by Female First UK.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, George reflected on his 64th birthday, saying, “I actually got a message from Paul, which is pretty cool. It was a video of him playing ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’. I never really thought when I was cutting tobacco in Augusta, Kentucky, that I would meet Paul, much less become friends with him”.

He continued, “I feel very in awe. In the scheme of people, you look at Michael Jordan as the best to ever play the game. Paul’s got to be in the conversation as one of the greats of all time. So, it’s really something to have him call up and do ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’ for you”.

According to Female First UK, when queried about sending messages to McCartney, George revealed that he communicates with the Beatles legend “from time to time”.

George reminisced about a conversation he had with McCartney after listening to the Beatles track Now and Then, which was released in 2003 after a previously unheard demo by John Lennon from the 1970s was completed using modern technology.

He expressed, “Sure, (I message him) from time to time. He had this song come out, this beautiful Beatles song that had never been released. Dude, it brought me down. It had that Beatles sound and vibe. For those of us who grew up with the Beatles being the end all and be all of everything, it just brought you to a whole other place in time. He sent it to me, and I wrote him back and said, 'Jesus, Paul. It’s really beautiful'”.

The Oscar-winning actor concluded by stating that he still does not perceive himself as old, now that he has entered his 60s.
