James Norton revealed that the lead actors of the upcoming Beatles films are handling the pressure of portraying iconic roles with ease, thanks to a unique method involving ice baths. Norton, an advocate of natural swimming, frequently takes a plunge in ponds near his London residence. During filming in Barcelona, an ice bath was available on set, providing a refreshing break for Norton.

Despite playing the role of manager Brian Epstein, Norton clarified that his part was not physically demanding compared to the actors portraying the Beatles band members. The films, set for release in 2028, feature Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. The cast recreated a historic Beatles concert at Montjuic baseball stadium in Barcelona, replicating the atmosphere of the 1965 Shea Stadium gig in New York City.

In a candid conversation on the Table Manners podcast, Norton shared his experience of managing Type 1 diabetes, which led to a fainting spell at a high-profile fashion event. Diagnosed at 22, Norton relies on a continuous glucose monitor and insulin for daily management. Recalling a moment at a GQ event, Norton described the chaos that ensued when he needed urgent sustenance due to a miscalculation in his insulin dosage.

After receiving chocolate and juice to stabilize his blood sugar levels, Norton returned to his seat, unaware of the backstage commotion caused by his health scare. The incident prompted a humorous gesture of serving him a plate of potatoes mid-speech by Nicole Kidman, alleviating the tense situation.
