Noel Gallagher found himself on the receiving end of comedic ribbing after Sacha Baron Cohen revived his famous Ali G character during a public cinema appearance.
According to NME, the interaction was captured in a video shared on social media on October 24 to promote Cohen's new film, Ali G: Who Iz I? The spoof took place inside a packed theater screening just one day after the feature film arrived in cinemas.
In the video, Ali G entered the auditorium and singled out Gallagher, feigning ignorance about his identity and suggesting he looked like "one of them Oasis twins." Calling him "Nigel Gallagher," the character poked fun at the band's reunion, jokingly calling him a 50-year-old trying to make a comeback.
The comedic confrontation comes more than a decade after Gallagher referenced the character in a 2015 interview, joking that he sent his children to private school so they would not talk like Ali G. The new movie follows the character's journey to America in a bid to reclaim his former fame.
