Sean, who is one of the late singer’s two sons, shared a series of messages on social media about Disney’s latest live-action remake.
He spoke about the leading lady, Rachel Zegler, and Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen.
“Both Gal Gadot AND Rachel Zegler are exceptionally beautiful women. Some of y’all are bugging,” said Sean in one tweet.

His post sparked a discussion online about beauty on the outside and beauty on the inside.
“They’re both horrid shells of human beings. Actors … They are not real but manufactured idols for you to worship,” one X user said.

Sean responded, saying, “wtf are you even talking about? I never said they were nice people. So many have been insulting them as ugly and that’s just crazy. And now you’re bugging too.”
“They’re objectively beautiful,” he continued. “I said nothing of their ‘inner beauty.’ Why do you so often think like a moron.”

Among the many responses Sean received, one said, “Both actresses are good performers in general, yet [Rachel] Zegler does not deserve the vilification that Variety and a lot of Disney ‘fanboys’ are constantly giving her.”
However, Sean had a different perspective and believed the movie earned some of the criticism it received.
“I agree the vilification went too far,” he said in one response. “But she also acts like a spoiled ungrateful and disconnected brat. So it’s no surprise.”

Another X user replied to his tweet, saying, “Rachel is a pathetic hateful and untalented person. Gal is a phenomenal human being.”
Sean did not completely disagree with the comments.
“Maybe,” he said. “Nothing to do with my post but maybe.”

The son of The Beatles legend also had strong opinions about what beauty means and disagreed with people who said “beauty is on the inside.”
“That is not the kind of beauty that gets you modeling or acting or even body building jobs. Some people are genetically gifted in the beauty department and that is a fact of life,” he said.

“Let’s not be babies,” he said before declaring, “physical beauty is not on the inside.”
The new Snow White was poised to be one of the masterpieces in Disney’s collection of big-budget live-action remakes, but controversy surrounded the film months before its March release.
It was branded as a modern retelling of the iconic 1937 film and had a staggeringly high production budget of $270 million. An additional $100 million or so was earmarked for marketing.

The remake was expected to clear $100 million globally in its first weekend on the big screen. However, it came in at $87.3 million instead.
In the U.S., the movie fared below expectations, with weekend numbers hitting around $43 million instead of the $85 million target.
