Celebrity in Bali

 

It is not everyday that you get to meet your idol at work.

He works as an officer at Bali immigration office,

he certainly won’t be looking back at yesterday with anger.

Ganis was performing his usual duties at the airport’s immigration checkpoint last night

when he noticed a man clad in a white bucket hat queueing in front of him.

Ganis did not realize it at first, until he noticed the name written on the passport.

After reading the passport twice and asking the man to take off his mask to verify his passport photo,

Ganis is  a huge Oasis fan

He realized that right in front of him is none other than William John Paul Gallagher aka Liam Gallagher,

English singer and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the defunct British rock band.

Starstruck and a bit nervous,

 Ganis  collected all of Oasis’ albums –

He politely asked the musician if he could take a photo with him.

He is notorious for his brash and abrasive personality,

 “I told him, ‘Wow.. it’s really you?

He replied with a thin smile.

“I knew [Gallagher] was moody,

so I asked for a photo after immigration.

[I was surprised] he said yes.

“It’s a shame the meeting was brief. If it were longer, I would’ve had a quick conversation with him.”

Ganis shared the encounter in an Instagram post earlier today on his account.

Ganis, aspires to be a music journalist, recalled the short conversation with Gallagher. 

G: “Do you mind if i take a picture with you sir?”

L: “No worries, where do you want to take the picture? there?”

G: “Sorry sir, I’m starstruck.. I’m big fan of you, I’ve collected all of Oasis albums..”

L: “Lovely man.. thank you.. Live forever”

No other sightings of the singer have been publicized in Bali, but earlier this week he posted a photo of the sunset on his Twitter,

with hundreds of comments speculating his whereabouts on the island. 

Gallagher is yet to perform a gig in Bali. 

Liam Gallagher joins the extensive list of celebrities who have visited the island.

Entries to the list include the likes of Hollywood actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, who were spotted back in Feb,
