Liam Gallagher almost bit off more than he could chew at an NME Awards after-party on Wednesday (February 27) when picking a fight with British actor and man mountain Idris Elba.
The pair had attended the NME Awards at London's Troxy, before heading to the Ivy Club in London before Gallagher before having words and even squaring up to each other after the singer poked fun at Elba's bobble hat.
An onlooker told The Sun: "Liam was in full rock’n’roll swagger mode.
“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.
Would you pick a fight with Idris Elba? Neither would we
"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 confrontation didn't seem to bother Elba, star of BBC's Luther and hit US show The Wire, who spent time mingling with other guests whilst Gallagher reportedly made a swift exit.
