Hollywood, CA (BANG) - Sir Paul McCartney is bored of being a Beatle. The 66-year-old rocker admits he sometimes tires of the fame he attracts from being in the legendary 60s band.
He explained: "You get fed up being him. You're always that guy. If I was Bruce Springsteen, I might get fed up being Bruce Springsteen. I might want to be the kid I was growing up, when I didn't have that image to live up to."

Quite understandable. He has done so much more than just be a member of the Beatles... It must be hard to have the public ignore all of the other things he has done and solely think of him as "one of the Beatles".
I always preferred John and George anyways. He does need to realize if it weren't for the Beatles he wouldn't be where he is today. I don't understand why celebs/musicians complain after their famous, rich and successful.
I can understand why he feels that way. Can you imagine being identified with something you did for a few years, over 40 years ago?! Your entire career after that time is measured against those few years, so it's always as if you're competing with yourself. Yeah, I'd get sick of it, too!
By George, Paul is at the age where he will be having trouble going to the John, if that Ringo's a bell.
