Didn't look back in anger

Some might say Oasis frontman, Liam Gallagher bit off a bit more than he could chew when he took on a burly paparazzo after a show in Rome.
The ‘Roll With It’ singer was visiting with friends at a restaurant when he spotted a snapper taking photos of him chatting to a blonde lady. Liam, who is infamous for getting in fisticuffs with photographers, rushed out of the establishment to confront the paparazzo.
A fight seemed sure to break out until Liam came face-to-face - or rather face-to-shoulder - with his husky opponent, when his resolve weakened and he flailed his arms in the air, flinging about a few choice words rather than punches.
Perhaps inspired by his ‘Let Here Be Love’ hit, the rocker then uncharacteristically threw his arms around the photographer, giving him a big old bear hug, before parting ways, amicably.
“The whole thing was really funny” said an onlooker.
“Liam was chatting to a girl who was in his group of pals and
was furious when he thought their picture had been taken. He then came hurtling out to take on the photographer but was dwarfed as soon as he stood next to him.
“It seemed like he’d had a few drinks and there was a bit of a confrontation, but he quickly thought better of it. Liam even showed his softer side by making up with the man. He has this image of a hardman but perhaps he is more interested in a cuddle nowadays.”
