As we celebrate the 50th anniversary or the Beatles' arrival in America, Julian Lennon tells CBS News what it was like growing up as the son of a Beatle.
Absolutely. Brilliant musical talent, etc. but I have a feeling John was more of a mess than we'll ever know. At age 40, he was just getting his shit together so who knows how he would've evolved. What a shame.
John Deegan Just because people grow up with bad guardians does not excuse abuse and neglect to others. I grew up in an extremely abusive household and was beaten severely by both my parents multiple multiple times. I’ve never once thought about hitting anyone, especially my wife.
I like Cynthia!!! I have no idea WHY John left her for Yolo Ono!! Cynthia has so much class!!! And a wonderful beautiful soul. She done an excellent job raising Julian!!!

I'm glad to see the son of someone famous( although Julian is famous too), is truly involved in helping people. Today's children of the rich and famous are narcissistic spoiled brats!
+JNagarya Lennon wasn't some shallow self promoter, he was loved because he was honest or tried to be. He paid a big price for confronting Nixon and Hoover crowd. Give him the respect he deserves.
I don't believe that Julian is "boasting" or you need to doubt anything that he says. He is known for being a very honest , sincere, and honorable man. Look at his entire history---he's honest and I don't know why you'd choose to make such a comment. He hasn't said or done anything in his life that should cause you doubt the things he says. I think you can pretty much take anything Julian says to the bank. My guess is that you're a "glass half empty" kind of person. No reason at all to come up with that kind of a comment in response to this interview with Julian. Lauren
He very much is a decent, honest, respectable, humanitarian who deserves the best in life. Definitely not the typical spoiled brat of a celebrity. Jules is a great guy!
What an original person. Not fake and not boasting about his fathers legacy. We need to see more good souls like him in the world. He has exceptional sense of humour, and great taste of words.👌
The net is full of Beach Boys stuff, plenty fellow musicians do mention them as an influence, they are linked to the Beatles. And you say no one talks about them? What´s your planet?
This kind hearted famous person is the best role model for all of you aspiring musicians artists. Julian used his fame and influence to make this world a better place to live. May you have more success and blessings in life.
+JNagarya There is proof, I read it in a big book where Sky Daddy said if I am a good boy I go to the clouds, but if I'm bad I get a pitchfork stuck really far into my ass. What more proof do you need than that?..
I absolutely adore Julian Lennon he is the most special human being which says so much for his mother she raised him to be such a loving caring kind hearted soul. ♥️
Hello Katie, How're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
The White Feather is Beautiful story and cause!Love the way he expresses himself. Cant be an easy cross to carry being John Lennon's son! The documentary is amazing very talented man !
Julian recorded one of my songs called 'Because', I was the ghost writer for The Dave Clark Five and wrote some of their hits such as 'Bits and pieces', and 'Anyway you want it', also a few of their 'B' sides and album tracks. There have been many versions of 'Because' by many great Artists and Bands but Julian's version is my favourite, he made a superb job of it. I have been trying for many years to contact Julian and make him aware of two things, first his is my favourite version of my song, and secondly although Dave Clark has his name as the writer of the song he had nothing at all to do with writing it, in fact when I first played and sung it to him and Mike Smith although Mike instantly loved it Dave was not so keen on it, he said it' was not a DC5 type song', he wanted to keep to the 'Glad all over' format, and in fact 'Because' first saw the light of day as a 'B' side on one of the DC5 records!!!
Julian you are talented, good - hearted, kind, outgoing person, thank you for your beautiful songs. Keep up the tremendous awesome work. God bless and May you be blessed more in 2024!
He's so well spoken.......and his story is so intriguing. I believe with all my heart that because he decided to help those people that day.......from there on his life was enriched with the purpose to serve and help others. When we help others there are special blessings that are bestowed upon us. That is just the way that it is. It's alot of work that never stops. It's a continuous non stop effort to be involved with improving and conserving people's lives. It's alot of sacrifice I'm sure.......but when you answer a calling like that, your life is enriched. Pretty commendable.
My word he’s so much like Paul, he obviously looks a *Lot* like his father. But he’s a like Paul. It’s because Paul stepped up when John wouldn’t.. it’s good that he did because now Julian is kind and a gentleman.
Noticed that myself. He's not outspoken like his dad was. He's more diplomatic. And he tend to put his fingers over this mouth like Paul does. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. ^_^
rocknrollman beatlemaniadude Well Paul had stepped up a little more in Julian's life as a father figure when john wouldn't...I think it's great that he was there for him when John wasn't because I don't think he would be the man he is today without Paul
Yes you can certainly see the influence Paul had in him in his (Julian's) impressionable early years. His Dad was a complicated cynical egotistical selfish mess at the time. He carried a lot of baggage. I often wonder what he would have evolved into had he lived. He'd be 77 now.
Marcio Andrei Vieira Gusmão Remember though that John's life was cut very short. It's unfair to judge him when he wasn't given ample time to right his wrongs.
He isn't gay. he's had relationships with woman and has been in a longterm relationship for a while. He struggled with a lot for a long time and didn't want to bring a woman into the mess he's had trouble sorting out. He has said that he does hope to settle down and have a family , (still talking about a woman!). Lauren
He's had a lot of trouble dealing with what's happened to him and has felt he had to get things straightened out in his head so that he can be a good husband and/or Dad. He has had relationships with women in the past, and is in a longterm relationship now. He wants to have a family, but it's taken him a while to get to a place that he feels his baggage won't interfere. One of these days you may be surprise to learn that is getting married or already got married. He's a great guy and wants to be a great husband and father. Lauren
Julian is such a genuine person. He's an amazing musician, but he's also an amazing human being. Cynthia did a brilliant job raising him. Every interview I see makes me love him more. What a gift! I wish that John could have seen what an amazing human Julian is. That part breaks my heart. My sons are amazing people. They are musically gifted and are compassionate and wonderful humans. My ex husband doesn't see that. He's lost.

CrystalandPals I think the question about him growing up with his dad shouldn't of been asked. I am sure it annoys Julian to be asked that over and over seeing he was just a young lad when the Beatles were formed plus it doesn't sound like he had much of a relationship with John.
@@wayneschlegel1340 You can know someone you never met if you study them. And it is also easy to predict that his dad would be proud of this. Your comment is idiotic.
What a great story about the white feather. It’s a really remarkable thing that Julian has turned his influential position into something so positive in an effort to bring about change. Cheers to you, Julian!
When Hey Jude came out, not too many people knew it was about Julian, and originally entitled Julian, I believe. It's amazing to learn this so many years later. Julian's willingness to share this personal stuff is very cool and has nearly brought me to tears. I came of age during the Beatles rise, and in Vietnam John Lennon was one of our leaders of thought we listened to when off duty and turned on, and tuned in. John Lennon had a big effect on the diminishment of that war, I know he did. We loved the Beatles in the war, and they and good Vietnamese cannabis sativa turned our minds around to face the truth; John Lennon gave us some truth, and that was that peace was the only viable choice; all else was heresy. We traded heroes in the 60s, and one of them whom we traded the politicians for was John Lennon. Thank God for Julian, a great gift from John and Cindy to us. Julian, ya. I love your music and listening to you share your beautifl soul. A distant fan, me.

Maybe Julian and Dani .... The other kids aren't very good musicians or singers. But there is a big age difference between Danhi and Julian. Rings son Zack is a great drummer but he plays for the Who.
+warhawk40 It's pretty clear that Julian wants to be his own person and not be in the shadow of his father. I don't blame him. The son always wants to topple the father, but you really can't one-up someone like John Lennon in terms of songwriting or rock and roll. I think he's found his strengths elsewhere.
T Bergs I guess musical talent is less genetic and more hard work/environmental. That explains why Julian and other offspring of great artists so infrequently measure up. Maybe growing up poor or in nasty environments, like John Lennon or Kurt Cobain, really pushes people to work at their craft.
Great respect to a lovely human being, he has had a lot of demons to fight and in spite of that he has come out the other side a thoroughly decent and well balanced person, big respect to his late mum too1

Julian Lennon seems to have the calmer Liverpool tones, like McCartney has, vocally in speech. His Dad was faster and more aggressive in talking. High end voice. Paul had a calmer sort of deep voice.
Now we can see how John might of looked if he was allowed to grow old. Julian is already 54 and John will remain 40 forever. I feel sorry for Julian because Yoko took his father from him and until he grew up, there was not much he could do about it.
To all people saying John Lennon was just too young to be a father. Being too young does not erase parental instinct, does not prevent you from being loving and altruistic. Besides, Cynthia was also young, and Paul was even younger, and Paul did more than John did. There are no excuses for abusive and disloyal men. And this is coming from a huge Lennon fan. I think we can be fans of his public persona, and some aspects of his personality, while disliking others.
you're obviously a well educated intellectual who would know a lot. A lot about screwing your cousins in the barn after a "proud hunt". What a thing to be proud about. You can point a high powered rifle and pull the trigger. Wow...impressive.
Yes, that's pretty well documented BUT in John's defense, alot of people are assholes before age 40, then they grow up. Especially people who come from a background as fucked up as his. He was just starting to get his shit together, when the end came.
Hello Joan, How're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you! It's nice meeting you here.
He's very down to earth. A classy gentleman..Honest, with no affectations. I'd like to see him get together with Lisa Marie Presley. They'd be a good match.

The most amazing moments in life are the ones in between or just before they become famous. when you cant predict when fame happens to people. Knowing those people then prior is powerful.
For John abandoning Julian at such an early age, and not including him in his will, or later being any part of his life, Julian excelled as a great man and musician. But from what I hear about the after life, I belief John realized the wrong he did for Julian, and came back through death to make up for it and help his son succeed for the snub he gave him in life.
love the beatles from 11 years old i use to go next door to my friends house they had a color tv we didnt and i was 11 when they first appered on ed selaven show and me and my friend never miss the show we loved th ebeatles

JNagarya I know Beatles because I was fan of them. But later I found that john lennon was an asshole. He unnecessarily acted like a jerk on every interview.
Julian really is what I picture the child of John Lennon being like. Sean on the other hand... ehhhh... He got his father's looks, sure, but I don't know if he necessarily got his talent as well. Not to say he's a _bad_ musician, but he's definitely not on the same level as his father or older brother. I can't imagine how difficult it was -and still is- to have been raised under the pressure of being expected to be as good of a musician/performer as John was. Especially with all of the inter-family drama that went on between Julian and Yoko.
April if you ask me Sean can't hold a candle to how much better Julian is. John left Julian when he was about 3 years old. How can a man do that kind of makes me think John was a crappy dad to him.
Julian looks so like his dad, but he is a better person, more gentle, and kind. That's Cynthia's upbringing of him. RIP Cynthia.
absolutey correct.
Yes Johns mother abandoned him as did his father. John was a very hurt little boy
michelle88960 Not a better person, but a more stable person. John Lennon was an incredible human being. A very complex one also.
Absolutely. Brilliant musical talent, etc. but I have a feeling John was more of a mess than we'll ever know. At age 40, he was just getting his shit together so who knows how he would've evolved. What a shame.
Julian most likely had a much easier upbringing than his dad being a poor kid from liverpool and that. You gotta grow up harsh in that environment.
Julian is the man his father John wished he could have been.
You nailed it!
Best revenge
John Deegan yeah but have you considered: he was a heroin addict
John Deegan Just because people grow up with bad guardians does not excuse abuse and neglect to others. I grew up in an extremely abusive household and was beaten severely by both my parents multiple multiple times. I’ve never once thought about hitting anyone, especially my wife.
@John Deegan I didn't hear any whining. I heard a man who fielded and answered awkward questions with honesty, candor, diplomacy and grace.
Julian deserves all my respect, He's a gentleman
Oliver Alvz thats the paul influence for yah.
@@stevelawson7595 It's nothing to do with Paul's influence. You sound like a fool saying that.
Revolver actually, paul was more of a father figure to jules than john was if you think about it
@@islandgyal9932 I know Julian always said Paul was like an uncle to him.
@@stevelawson7595 no, Cynthia, his mum !!
I like Cynthia!!! I have no idea WHY John left her for Yolo Ono!! Cynthia has so much class!!! And a wonderful beautiful soul. She done an excellent job raising Julian!!!
It must be annoying to always be asked about someone else.
I think Julian realizes that he is famous solely because of that other person he is always asked about.
A better man.
@@paranormal33 That was literally his reason for quitting the music biz in the 80s. ..which is sad because he was really talented.
also, what can he say about a father who he didn't really see and possibly know?

Strange- I hear Paul's voice ---
You're right! sounds like a mix of John and Paul's accents!
+arne berg I noticed that too, looks so much like his Dad, yet comes off sounding a lot like Paul.
John Gerson might be because he spent more time with paul than john.
Haha I was thinking the same thing! Even some mannerisms of Paul too! I thought I was going crazy!
Juan Perez Paul or Faul lmao
Julian seems like a really lovely person. He's a wonderful photographer as well.
lots of respect for Julian
Very, very impressing person. Respect for his helping other people in need. He is an example.
I know his parents are both very happy for him, and are watching over him from heaven.

He does sound like Paul and I think he sings a lot like Paul. Same energy and delivery. They are both gentlemen and professional pleasantly polite.
Julian Lennon seems to have the calmer Liverpool tones, like McCartney has, vocally in speech. His Dad was faster and more aggressive in talking. High end voice. Paul had a calmer sort of deep voice.
amazing man God bless him.
Now we can see how John might of looked if he was allowed to grow old. Julian is already 54 and John will remain 40 forever. I feel sorry for Julian because Yoko took his father from him and until he grew up, there was not much he could do about it.
To all people saying John Lennon was just too young to be a father. Being too young does not erase parental instinct, does not prevent you from being loving and altruistic.
Besides, Cynthia was also young, and Paul was even younger, and Paul did more than John did. There are no excuses for abusive and disloyal men.
And this is coming from a huge Lennon fan. I think we can be fans of his public persona, and some aspects of his personality, while disliking others.
This is like John Lennon being normal. Julian has his mother’s traits and personality.
Great guy. John would be proud.
you're obviously a well educated intellectual who would know a lot. A lot about screwing your cousins in the barn after a "proud hunt". What a thing to be proud about. You can point a high powered rifle and pull the trigger. Wow...impressive.
But chizmo7 he kinda was an asshole, aside from his artistic genius.
Yes, that's pretty well documented BUT in John's defense, alot of people are assholes before age 40, then they grow up. Especially people who come from a background as fucked up as his. He was just starting to get his shit together, when the end came.
I think John would be proud to see his son doesn't repeat his father's mistakes, like John did.
am always impressed how complete strangers know so well how any famous person would feel, and in what kind of development they were in.
Fulfilling his destiny. Blessed soul...Jules Lennon
Hello Joan,
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
John abandoned him really..you can see the sadness in his eyes
He comes across as very nice and genuine.
Julian is funny, kind, down to earth a great person. Mom´s love and work.
so sad the way John treated him and his mother
Such a good person. Thank you Julian for your great work. 💚🙏💚
He's very down to earth. A classy gentleman..Honest, with no affectations. I'd like to see him get together with Lisa Marie Presley. They'd be a good match.

The most amazing moments in life are the ones in between or just before they become famous. when you cant predict when fame happens to people. Knowing those people then prior is powerful.
He looks so much like John ❤
Lovely guy and his dad
For John abandoning Julian at such an early age, and not including him in his will, or later being any part of his life, Julian excelled as a great man and musician. But from what I hear about the after life, I belief John realized the wrong he did for Julian, and came back through death to make up for it and help his son succeed for the snub he gave him in life.
love the beatles from 11 years old i use to go next door to my friends house they had a color tv we didnt and i was 11 when they first appered on ed selaven show and me and my friend never miss the show we loved th ebeatles

my gawd he sounds like Paul.
The 909s because paul was a father figure to him. Hes influence on julian is undeniable.
Looks like his dad.
no hes rockefellers son
The real difference between Julian and John is that Julian goes out of his way to help others while with John it was nothing bur lip service
+johnny foosball So John gave birth to the better man. There is a reason for everything.
Marty John was merely a sperm donator , Cynthia is responsible for the well mannered good person that Julian grew up to be
+johnny foosball haha true
JNagarya And blind worship of celebrites without caring about their true personalities is what in your opinion?
JNagarya I know Beatles because I was fan of them. But later I found that john lennon was an asshole. He unnecessarily acted like a jerk on every interview.
Love the charity he's doing
Julian surely stands out all out on his own
We all love Julian
I love Julian he's a beautiful soul. My dream would be to sing with him ❤❤❤
Julian really is what I picture the child of John Lennon being like. Sean on the other hand... ehhhh... He got his father's looks, sure, but I don't know if he necessarily got his talent as well. Not to say he's a _bad_ musician, but he's definitely not on the same level as his father or older brother. I can't imagine how difficult it was -and still is- to have been raised under the pressure of being expected to be as good of a musician/performer as John was. Especially with all of the inter-family drama that went on between Julian and Yoko.
+April Pierce Sean's album "Midnight Sun" with his band The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger is better than anything Julian Lennon has ever recorded.
Yet you're here giving hard time to Sean
April P shady and passive aggressive all rolled into one
May04bwu ikr
April if you ask me Sean can't hold a candle to how much better Julian is. John left Julian when he was about 3 years old. How can a man do that kind of makes me think John was a crappy dad to him.
Following in his father's humanitarian footsteps. You may never see the self absorbed Sean Lennon doing anything like this.
I can relate Julian missing his father as a young boy to when Austin Powers missed his.
Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair....
This is a nice interview and the White Feather documentary may be something to watch! Cheer's
