Liam Gallagher movie casting call

Perfect for our kid. Absolute scenes.

Regarding any news about Liam Gallagher, it’s always a good idea to use that brilliant quote from Noel Gallagher to describe his little brother – “He’s rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He’s the angriest man you’ll ever meet. He’s like a man with a fork in a world of soup.”

Never change, Liam. Never change.

Well, if the Wall of Glass singer is even half as entertaining on Celebrity Gogglebox as he is on Twitter then viewers are in for one memorable show.

The former Oasis frontman will be joined on the show by his son Gene and mum Peggy for a special episode of the beloved Channel 4 show as they aim to raise funds for the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.

As well as Liam, the Gogglebox Celebrity special – which will be part of Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign this Friday at 9pm- will also feature Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne , Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp.

Various sources have quoted a TV insider as saying: ““Liam is one of the most opinionated celebrities ever. To get him talking about current shows will be TV Gold. If he’s half as ruthless as he is on Twitter, viewers will be in for a treat.”

Regarding the special appearance, Gallagher said: “It’s an honour and privilege to be invited on one of my favourite TV shows, the mighty Gogglebox especially with my fam and for such a great cause as Stand up To Cancer.”

In case you need a reminder of just how entertaining Liam can be, here are some of his insults:

On Florence Welsh…

“I’m sure she’s a nice girl, but she sounds like someone’s stood on her fucking foot. I’m not having someone with ginger hair making music. I’m not going down that road.”

On Oxford Street…

“I’ve only been down Oxford Street once. It was a few years ago after an awards ceremony. It was three in the morning. And I got arrested.”

On Mumford and Sons…

“I’m sure they’re all nice lads but that’s not for me. They look like fucking Amish people.”

On Bob Dylan…

“I know all about him and that, but he’s a bit of a miserable c**t as far as I’m concerned.”
