Liam Gallagher reportedly starts fight with Idris Elba at NME Awards

Liam Gallagher reportedly tried to start a fight with actor Idris Elba earlier this week while attending an NME Awards afterparty.

The Beady Eye frontman is said to have squared up to the Wire actor while attending an NME Awards afterparty at London’s Ivy Club on Wednesday (February 27), reports The Sun.

A witness 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.”

Idris Elba reportedly attended the party with Luther co-star and World Thai boxing champion Warren Brown.
