Ringo Starr, 84, recently revealed that he demanded script changes in filmmaker Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles biopic about his life. The “Yellow Submarine” hitmaker opened up about the movie and how he spent two days offering “extensive notes” to Mendes in an interview with The New York Times published Wednesday, July 2.

Anyway, he puts it all down to a lifetime playing drums: "I love what I'm doing. When I first started... my mother would come to the gigs. She would always say, 'You know, son, I always feel you're at your happiest when you're playing your drums’. So she noticed. And I do."

The former Beatles drummer said that scenes depicting his first wife needed to be tweaked to make them more accurate.
