“It’s just exciting because [Ono’s] story is so inspirational to me, and people really don’t know the true person that she was,” she told People.
“She’s an incredible artist. And also, she just was an independent woman and people didn’t like that. They wanted John [Lennon] for themselves and she was an easy target. And I think it’s very meaningful for me to be able to tell her story,” Anna continued.
Harris Dickinson will be playing John Lennon to Anna‘s Yoko Ono.
