Noel Gallagher Says ‘F—‘ Vegetarians on ‘Chicken Shop Date’ — With One Very Notable Exception
The Oasis guitarist also recalled how meeting Matthew McConaughey inspired a change in his home decor.
Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher expressed his unfiltered opinion on vegetarians during his appearance on the Chicken Shop Date episode, which aired on October 23. Upon being asked about his fondness for chicken nuggets, Gallagher responded, "Who doesn’t?" when host Amelia Dimoldenberg inquired. However, when Dimoldenberg mentioned vegetarians and vegans, Gallagher's tone shifted dramatically.
"F— those guys," he declared gravely, adding that vegans have "no stamina." Gallagher softened his stance when Sir Paul McCartney was mentioned, praising him as a "rare person" who makes one feel "good about yourself." The musician also expressed his admiration for actor Matthew McConaughey, so much so that it led him to purchase a life-sized cardboard cut-out of the star to display in his home's front window for a month.
In addition to discussing his encounters with celebrities, Gallagher shared details about Oasis' successful 2025 stadium tour and their plans for a further tour in 2027. The reunion of Noel and his brother Liam Gallagher after a decade-long feud, which was documented in the September film Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, added extra significance to the live performances.
