Paul McCartney's Grandson Looks Exactly Like The Legend

Along with Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney is one of the two remaining members of The Beatles and remains, to this day, a

legend

ary figure in the world of music. However, he is also a family man. In fact, the star seems to have a perfectly charming relationship with his

grandson

, Arthur Donald, who

looks

an awful lot like his grandfather. Arthur is the son of Mary McCartney and her ex-husband, television producer Alistair Donald. He is also the

grandson

of Paul and the late Linda McCartney. Arthur was born on April 3, 1999, making him the oldest of the music icon's eight grandchildren.

While each member of the younger generation has likely taken on some characteristics from his grandfather, it is Arthur who takes after Paul in the

looks

department. With a slightly round face and a sweet smile, Donald looks a lot like Paul McCartney during his early days with the Beatles. The rock star's grandson even exudes the same casual, cool vibe that his grandfather is famous for. In July 2018, McCartney and Donald were photographed having lunch together in London. Donald came out with his hair slicked back, a crisp white t-shirt, crisp running shoes, and pants with zippered pockets. He coordinated with McCartney, who wore a similar outfit paired with a jacket and sunglasses.

Donald's good looks and famous roots would certainly give him an advantage if he wanted to pursue a career in show business, but this well-connected young man has decided to take a different path. While Paul McCartney sent his children to a simple local school in the hope that they would have a normal life, his daughter Mary McCartney reportedly preferred a more private route for her son. Arthur Donald initially attended University College School in Hampstead, north London, and then moved to the United States to pursue an Ivy League education at Yale University in Connecticut. As a student at Yale, Donald supposedly paid a penny, or should we say a pound? - by its title.

According to the Daily Mail, his previous school cost around £19,545 per year, which is equivalent to around $25,500 US dollars, but Yale's average tuition fee is much higher. The fee for the degree is approximately £54,500 per year, which includes academic fees, food, accommodation, books and personal expenses. If we express it in US dollars, we are talking about more than 71,000 dollars per year. A degree from Yale certainly has value, but there may be something (or someone) else keeping you busy in America. Obviously, Arthur Donald will make new American friends as a Brit studying in the United States and, as the grandson of a music industry icon, the press tends to follow his circles closely.

In fact, Paul McCartney's grandson has made headlines for dating the children of another pair of Hollywood heavyweights. In 2018, Donald was spotted out and about with Ava Phillippe, the daughter of actor Ryan Phillipe and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon. "You take yourself too seriously." "I don't." "If you can." The duo were spotted in London in March 2018, when Ava was in town to support her mother at the premiere of Witherspoon's film A Wrinkle In Time. The Daily Mail reported that Arthur and Ava, who were 18 at the time, walked the streets of the city for a while, before heading together to a celebrity spot called Sketch.

They then stopped for a drink in a bar, as 18 is the legal drinking age in London. Although it could have simply been two friends hanging out and not a romantic date, his showbiz genes certainly had all the tabloids talking about the possibilities. While Arthur Donald apparently likes spending time with his famous grandfather, Paul McCartney, and his friend Ava Phillipe, he has also been spotted with his mother, Mary McCartney. For example, Donald watched a tennis match at Wimbledon with his mother by his side in the summer of 2018, according to the Daily Mail. However, the Daily Mail focused more on the resemblance between Donald and his grandfather, pointing out the fact that that the musician's grandson showed up to the sporting event looking like a younger version of his famous grandfather.

As the outlet noted, "With her curled upper lip and striking eyebrows, it's pretty clear that the apple didn't fall far from the Beatles tree." Check out one of our newest videos right here!
