"He went mad on jaffa cakes, went insane about them: 'Gimme gimme!'" McCartney recalled. "About a week later he couldn't look at one, and he never looked at one the rest of his life. 'Oh, don't talk to me about jaffa cakes.'"

But John loved her, and that's the bottom line. You really can't go beyond that, no matter what you might think. Not my type, but I swear she rang me shortly after John died and said, 'You know, I think John might have been gay.'

I said, 'Yeah, sure.' Then I put the phone down. I thought, Well, what about me? I'm not inducted. Now John's going to go in. The thing about John Lennon and McCartney was we were always equal. But, of course, once John got murdered, he became the martyr - the Buddy Holly, the James Dean character - because of the atrocity. So a revisionism started to go on.

The story is that the headmaster, Bill Pobjoy, when John had made some sort of fame with the Beatles, we think in about 1963 or 1964, he asked the caretaker, known as Yozzer, to unscrew John's old school desk from the history room and put it into storage, Barry said. That's been locked away for years and they lost the key so we had to beat the door down to get to it.

According to Dickerson, John Lennon's final meal was reportedly from an iconic NYC spot: Stage Deli. Citing manager Gill Kashkin, Dickerson writes that Lennon ordered a corned beef (not to be confused with roast beef) sandwich and a hot tea during a late lunch on December 8, 1980. Later that night, he was fatally shot outside his residence on the Upper West Side.

The beauty of a full English breakfast is the variety of tastes and textures all found on a singular plate. While it's not a light meal by any means, it's a substantial and filling way to start the day - so it's no surprise that John Lennon favored the hearty meal that would keep him full throughout his time at protests, rehearsal, or in the studio.

I saw John, still alive, moving on the ground, but I realized I couldn't take that photo of someone who was dying—it didn't feel right, he recalls.

The US frontman revealed that despite their breakthrough hit, he still finds himself using food stamps, showcasing the harsh realities of the music industry.

The film struggles with its title's implications, featuring excessive anecdotes from various speakers who lacked significant personal connections to Lennon.
