Despite his many, many millions in the bank, Paul McCartney has revealed he’s a bit of a skip-diver when the mood takes him.

According to the Sun, Paul admitted recently: “I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t like to see things in skips. I go past a skip and I’ll say, ‘I could use that. That’s a cupboard, that’s a nice bit of wood.’

“I’ll see a rubbish heap and see an odd bit of a bicycle or something and think, ‘Picasso’s Bull’s Head.’ I’ll think, ‘Interesting shape that,’ because he used the bike seat, didn’t he? Only last night I saw some stuff in a skip and had to be pulled away.”

“I’m a bit of a beachcomber. I won’t be looking for things but things will jump out at me.”

“I found a white pillow case with a zip. It had paint stains on it from a house painter. I also found a nice yellow beaker.”

“I found a real sponge in the Caribbean too. I stepped on it to see if it was still spongy and it was. So I rinsed it out and it went in the pillow case and I use that for washing the sailboat.”
