One of them said that they watched it and found it one of the most stressful experiences of their entire life. It would’ve just been normal to get a note saying: ‘Oh, that bit where I say that - could you cut that out?’ Or ‘Could you shorten the conversation there?’ And I didn’t get a single note.

When Jackson showed McCartney and Starr the documentary for the first time, they came back to him with no notes to change anything.

Disney outright banned the depiction of smoking in its films and television programs in 2017.
