Sir Paul McCartney’s lookalike son James was pictured on Wednesday during a rare sighting in London.
The musician, 45, is the only son of Beatles icon Macca, 80, and late wife Linda McCartney – his sisters are photographer Mary, 52, and designer Stella, 50.
He wore a trendy shop window during the outing with a brown blazer and a Maharishi University T-shirt that he paired with loose-fitting pants.

He completed his look with a pair of crisp white Nike sneakers.
After largely shunning the limelight and even working as a waiter in Brighton, McCartney later followed in his father’s musical footsteps.
He has played on a number of his father’s albums and has also released his own music.
He spent his first two and a half years with his parents touring with their group Wings.

Could it be? He previously said he had goals to be “better than the Beatles” with his own musical projects
He later played guitar on Sir Paul’s records Flaming Pie and Driving Rain, as well as The Light Comes From Within – a song he recorded with his mother before her death from breast cancer in 1998.
He released his debut single Available Light in 2010 before releasing his first album Me in 2013 and his second, The Blackberry Train, in 2016 – both co-produced with his father.
He previously said he had goals of being “better than the Beatles.”
“Once I got to a certain age I realized I was slightly better than other kids at school at guitar and I was proud and happy about that,” he told the BBC in 2012.
“I dreamed then of being better than The Beatles. I’m not sure I can. If anything, I’d love to be like The Beatles – but even that’s pretty hard.”

He also revealed that he is considering forming a group with the descendants of the Fab Four, including Ringo Starr’s son Jason, 54, Lennon’s youngest son Sean, 46, and George Harrison’s only son, Dhani, 43.
Meanwhile, Sir Paul is said to have earned himself a staggering £1.5million in just 12 months investing in emerging companies.
The singer who is estimated to be worth £800 million started MPL Ventures during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since supported a plant-based chicken company as well as a music tech start-up behind ABBA’s latest album, Voyage, it is alleged.
A source told The sun: ‘Paul is a man of many talents and his new company is making a lot of money. He uses the company to invest money in growing businesses and it works well.
So far he has used cash to help fund TiNDLE which is making fake chicken in the US and hopes to bring the product to the UK.
Paul also invested in a British music tech start-up called Audoo. The choices may be a little less traditional than in the stock market, but Paul is paying off.’
MailOnline has reached out to Paul’s representatives for comment.
