Sir Paul McCartney spent a day begging for alms in London in disguise.

According to Femalefirst, he donned a fake beard and dark glasses and took his guitar to central London. "It was for a film thing and it was something I'd always wanted to do So I scruffed myself up a bit, put on a false beard and shades, and went down to Leicester Square tube station It was really cool," he was quoted as saying.

"A couple of people came up and said, 'Is it you?' but I just said, 'Oh, no'. "But I got a few shillings and I thought, 'This doesn't feel right' So I gave it to charity ," he added.
