Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher made an appearance on the interview web series Chicken Shop Date, sharing candid remarks about his dietary views and memorable celebrity encounters in an episode released on Friday, October 23.
According to Billboard, host Amelia Dimoldenberg began the conversation by asking Gallagher if he enjoyed chicken nuggets, to which the musician quickly agreed. When Dimoldenberg pointed out that vegetarians do not consume meat, Gallagher expressed his disapproval of non-meat eaters, adding further criticism toward vegans by asserting that they lack stamina.
However, Gallagher admitted there was one prominent exception to his stance: Sir Paul McCartney. When Dimoldenberg mentioned that the former Beatle adheres to a vegetarian diet and maintains high energy in his 80s, Gallagher acknowledged the legendary bassist's positive aura. Gallagher noted that McCartney is the kind of person who leaves people feeling better about themselves after an encounter, joking that there must be something valid to his dietary choices.
During the sit-down, Gallagher also recalled meeting actor Matthew McConaughey at a friend's wedding. Gallagher explained that the interaction left such an impression on him that he purchased a life-sized cardboard cut-out of McConaughey and displayed it in his home's front window for an entire month.
