John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s sons look just like their Beatles dads in rare photo

John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s sons have shared a rare snap together on social media.

Sean Ono Lennon and James McCartney show a striking resemblance to their famous Beatles dads in a selfie shared online.

Sean Ono Lennon shared the photo to his 176,000 followers on Instagram with the caption: “Peekaboo…”

Sean, 42, is the only child of Yoko Ono and John, who was assassinated in 1980.

Sean also has a half-brother, 55-year-old Julian, who his famous dad shared with ex-wife Cynthia Lennon.

James McCartney, 40, is the fourth child of Sir Paul and the late Linda McCartney.

Paul and his late wife also shared three daughters, Heather, Mary and Stella.

The singer also has a 14-year-old daughter, Beatrice, with Heather Mills, who he was married to from 2002 to 2008.

Paul has been married to Nancy Shevell since 2011.

Paul's only son followed in his famous dad’s footsteps, releasing two EPs and two albums.

In March, Paul joined protesters at the New York City March for Our Lives protest and reminded the world how gun violence had robbed him of one of his closest friends.

Without going on camera, Paul told a CNN reporter: “As you know, one of my best friends was shot not far from here. It is important to me.”

The musician was paying an understated tribute to John Lennon, who was gunned down outside the Dakota Building by Mark David Chapman in December 1980.
