James McCartney is a chip off the old block.
Fans got a glimpse of Paul McCartney's son in January while he was running errands in London. As reported by Daily Mail, the younger McCartney wore sandals amid the cold weather and left his hair unkempt. But it was his thick, disheveled beard that bore a striking resemblance to James' famous father back in his heyday with The Beatles.
As it turns out, however, Paul's signature facial hair was merely the result of a moped accident. According to Paul, he was riding along on a moped and enjoying a full moon when he suddenly lost control and his face met the pavement. "There I was, chipped tooth and all. It came through my lip and split it," Paul said of the incident, via the Beatles Bible. Fortunately, the rocker had a plan. "In fact that was why I started to grow a moustache. It was pretty embarrassing, because around that time you knew your pictures would get winged off to teeny-boppery magazines like 16, and it was pretty difficult to have a new picture taken with a big fat lip. So I started to grow a moustache – a sort of Sancho Panza – mainly to cover where my lip had been sewn," he explained. Perhaps his son, James, is also covering up a scar? The world may never know...
