Leo Woodall has praised\u00a0Oasis<\/a>\u00a0over\u00a0The Beatles<\/a>, declaring\u00a0Liam Gallagher<\/a> to be the \u201ccoolest\u201d frontman of all time.<\/p>\n

The actor, known for his roles in\u00a0The White Lotus<\/a>,\u00a0One Day<\/a>,\u00a0Tuner\u00a0and\u00a0Bridget Jones: Mad About\u00a0The\u00a0Boy<\/a>, made\u00a0the comments\u00a0in an interview with the\u00a0New York Times<\/a>, in which he discusses some of the things he considers essential to his life.<\/p>\n

Asked about his love of Oasis and The Beatles, Woodall explained: \u201cThe Beatles are very ingrained in my\u00a0family. My dad and his uncle still have fights over who played the first chord of whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I probably listen to Oasis more,\u201d he added. \u201cLiam Gallagher is the coolest frontman who\u2019s ever lived.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodall was speaking while promoting his new film\u00a0Tony<\/a>, which was released in the UK on Friday (August 14).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Directed by Matt Johnson (Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie<\/a>), the A24 drama stars Dominic Sessa (The Holdovers<\/a>) as a young Athony Bourdain as the writer and chef spends a formative summer working in a restaurant kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

Woodall plays Sal, an oyster shucker and hedonistic influence on the young Bourdain, while Antonio Banderas portrays the restaurant\u2019s chef and owner.<\/p>\n

NME\u00a0gave it a four-star review<\/a>, writing: \u201cIn another actor\u2019s hands, the leather jacket-clad 19-year-old could just seem like an unbearable dickhead, but Sessa offers glimpses of the vulnerability that made his character so compelling in real life. Bourdain\u2019s worst traits are further offset by an enjoyably ribald turn from Leo Woodall as Sal, the walking disaster of a cook who makes Tony look like a saint.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Oasis,\u00a0their blockbuster \u2018Live \u201925\u2019 reunion tour<\/a>\u00a0will be\u00a0documented\u00a0in\u00a0the upcoming Don\u2019t Look Back\u00a0In\u00a0Anger\u00a0film<\/a>, which opens in cinemas and IMAX on September 11 before heading to streaming later in the year.<\/p>\n

Speculation continues to swirl about the possibility of more live performances from the band.\u00a0They are reportedly considering a major UK and European tour next year<\/a>, potentially including a Manchester residency and a return to Knebworth.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month,\u00a0the promoter behind \u2018Live \u201925\u2019 was granted a\u00a0licence\u00a0to hold concerts at the Hertfordshire estate<\/a>, although nothing has yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n

The Beatles, meanwhile, will be at the\u00a0centre\u00a0of\u00a0Sam Mendes\u2019 four-film biopic project<\/a>, which will hit cinemas in April 2028. The four lead actors were spotted this week recreating the iconic \u2018Abbey Road\u2019 album cover<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leo Woodall has praised\u00a0Oasis\u00a0over\u00a0The Beatles, declaring\u00a0Liam Gallagher to be the \u201ccoolest\u201d frontman of all time.
