The Genesis Of Phil Collins... As An Extra!

Pinterest/All Things George Harrison!

Phil Collins was just a 13-year-old lad in Camden when he played an extra in The Beatles' A Hard Days Night. He can barely be seen in the closing segment of the film. Collins, of course, later found fame as a member of the band Genesis before embarking on a successful solo career.

Phil Collins has a mild beef with Paul McCartney: "I met him when I was working at the Buckingham Palace party back in 2002," Collins told The Sunday Times. "...I had a first edition of The Beatles, by Hunter Davies, and I said, 'Hey, Paul, do you mind signing this for me?' And he said [to his wife], 'Oh, Heather, our little Phil's a bit of a Beatles fan.' And I thought, 'You [expletive] [expletive].' Never forgot it."
