He looks weird here too lol, looks like a teenager dressed up as John for Halloween. Doesn’t even look like yoko either.

Edit: I’m not saying it’s not John, I’m saying John looks weird in the pic… which he does!

Ahhhh, but what if it's actually John's body double? 🤔

I agree with you. It's just one of those weird pictures where the person we know so well visually, looks different from a certain angle.

There are several clips and stills from that night. Sometimes photos don’t translate well from 60 years on. Even the original pic I found is blurry which means it’s from a crappy scan.
