George Harrison in George Harrison: When We Was Fab (1988)

Trivia

George Harrison: When We Was Fab

Edit
The title song addresses about George Harrison's young days when he played with The Beatles.
From 2:00 to 2:17 can be seen George Harrison with Ringo Starr at his left playing drums and a left-handed guitarist disguised as walrus at his right. For a time it was believed that walrus man was Paul McCartney, reuniting all The Beatles after John Lennon death in 1980, and arguing that the disguise was caused because McCartney was camera shy. However, in 1995 McCartney declared in an interview that actually he wasn't available for the music video by scheduling conflicts, suggesting Harrison replace him by a stunt double in disguise as reference to him.
The video was directed by Godley & Creme, who were half of the original lineup of the group 10cc.
At 1:00 and for a brief moment George Harrison wears his classic The Beatles suit from "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".
Some close friends of George Harrison appear in the music video: Ringo Starr, who gives Harrison a violoncello and later plays drums with him; Elton John as a pedestrian who gives him a coin for his can; Electric Light Orchestra's frontman Jeff Lynne playing a neverending violin in the left side to another and Ray Cooper in the right side.
