“Imagine Robert Pattinson as John Lennon,” an item in the Star item began, adding, “It’s easy if you try.”

As previously reported, the tabloid claimed Pattinson “is in talks with director Robert Zemeckis to play the late great Beatle in Disney’s 3-D remake of the classic cartoon Yellow Submarine.”

The story was picked up by numerous outlets, and there were elements that made it plausible: Pattinson is British, and has a fondness for writing and playing music.

Suffice to say, we reached out to EVERYONE, and it was a long and winding road, but a Disney rep who spoke directly with the filmmakers told Gossip Cop the rumor is absolutely “false.”
