Actress Sarah Sherman, known for her roles in Chucky, Pizza Movie, and You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, has openly expressed her admiration for music legend Paul McCartney. In a recent interview at the 5th Annual Las Culturistas Culture Awards in Los Angeles, she detailed their first meeting on the set of Saturday Night Live (SNL).
Meeting Paul McCartney on SNL
Sherman, who joined SNL as a cast member in 2021, had previously mentioned in a sketch that her iconic mullet was inspired by McCartney's hairstyle from his Wings era. When McCartney appeared on a later episode, he immediately noticed. According to Sherman, he approached her after the show, pulled on her mullet, and asked, "Is it real or is it a wig?" She confirmed it was her real hair, and the exchange left her thrilled.
She later joked on social media that she would never wash her mullet again. Discussing the incident on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel remarked, "I think it's very rare that somebody gets their mullet pulled by a Beatle." Sherman quipped back, "Honey, he can do whatever he wants to me."
Confessing Her Love for McCartney
Sherman also shared how she confessed her long-time admiration for McCartney during their interaction. She told him, "Paul McCartney, I love you, you're amazing. Like, McCartney II is my favorite album ever, and 'Temporary Secretary' is my favorite song." Apologizing for over-complimenting, she was met with McCartney's playful response: "I love adulation. Adulate me. Adulate me."
Sherman has become a fan favorite on SNL for her unique comedic style and memorable performances. Her candid admiration for McCartney continues to endear her to audiences.
