Liam Gallagher: I've Got Spongebob Squarepants Phone Number

Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher has joked that he has Spongebob Squarepants’ phone number on his mobile.

The singer spoke about his admiration for the children’s character during an appearance on BBC Radio 1 today (January 7).

Gallagher told DJ Zane Lowe that he had received a number of gifts from the fictional star, including a Spongebob guitar, as well as presents for his children.

“He done my kid a DVD for his birthday, where you put it in and he wished him happy birthday on it with Bikini Bottom,” Gallagher said.

“It was like, ‘Hi Gene, Happy Birthday’, and all that. Bikini Bottom had a big banner going ‘Happy Birthday Gene’.“

When asked by Lowe if Spongebob Squarepants was the most famous person he had on his mobile phone, Gallagher replied: “Certainly is man.”

Gallagher also reaffirmed past reports that his children were fans of Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz.
