Macca's unexpected choices work in the video's favor. But the decision to briefly show Depp is also part of an inside joke between the pair, who've worked together before on Paul McCartney's videos for "My Valentine" (2012) and "Queenie Eye" (2013). "It's getting to be a running gag," McCartney told Rolling Stone. "He's like the Alfred Hitchcock of my videos. And he's good!"

It wasn't hard for Depp to get into character, especially considering he has a musical pastime - as a guitarist, he contributed to Oasis' 1997 song "Fade In-Out" and was a member of the supergroup P, alongside Butthole Surfers' singer Gibby Haynes, Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, and Sex Pistols' guitarist Steve Jones.

"He used to be a musician before he was an actor, you know," McCartney explained. "One of his old bandmates actually organized getting me that cigar-box guitar that I played with Dave Grohl on 'Cut Me Some Slack,' that we ended up getting a GRAMMY for. So I knew he could play."
