LIAM GALLAGHER has picked a few unwise scraps over the years – one in Germany left him without any front teeth.
And after the NME gongs at London’s Troxy on Wednesday night he bit off more than he could chew yet again with IDRIS ELBA.
You might know him better as Luther, or Baltimore’s feared gangster Stringer Bell from The Wire. In real life the Londoner is a lovely big man — but not the kind of bloke you would want to have a dust-up with.
At the Warner’s afterparty at the plush Ivy Club, Liam and Idris exchanged a few stern words and squared up in a packed room full of great bands and drunk musicians.
It definitely made up for a lukewarm night at the Brits.
An onlooker said: “Liam was in full rock’n’roll swagger mode.
“He bowled up to the party after midnight and made his presence felt pretty quickly.
“He had a row with a Scottish actor called MARTIN COMPSTON, mocking his accent.
“Then he had a few words with Idris, poking fun at his bobble hat among other things. Idris looked like he was going to flatten him — they were on completely different wavelengths.
“They were toe-to-toe at one point. Neither of them backed down. Idris was in a good mood, so left it, which was probably for the best. Liam left soon after.”
The former OASIS frontman pulled out his full repertoire of rock-star poses at the front door of the club in the West End as he popped out for a cigarette.
He always has a good jacket on, but his slippers would definitely fit in the psychedelic category.
Idris was on top form — giving everyone the time of day.
His Luther co-star, pal and partner in crime WARREN BROWN, was with him too.
He’s a former World Thai boxing champion — so not really the kind of man you would want jumping in on a fight.
It’s not the first time it has happened and probably won’t be the last for as long as Liam has a pulse.
The old NOEL GALLAGHER quote still stands up: “Liam is a man with a fork in a world of soup”.
