Quiet Liam Gallagher

Photographer Lorenzo Agius has revealed shooting Liam Gallagher and his then-partner Patsy Kensit for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in 1997 did not go as he had expected.

Liam Gallagher 'couldn't handle' being pictured at the height of his fame. Renowned photographer Lorenzo Agius shot the Oasis singer and his then-partner Patsy Kensit for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in 1997, and has revealed the musician was much quieter than he had expected.

He said: 'At that point he was at his most rebellious and angry and was annoyed with anyone fussing around him. He couldn't handle it.' Lorenzo - who was also behind the famous black and white publicity images for gritty 1996 movie 'Trainspotting' - is famous for convincing famous people to pose in unusual situations.

His shot of Liam, 36, and Patsy - who married in 1997 but divorced in 2000, and have nine-year-old son Lennon together - saw Liam reclining on a bed while Patsy, 41, wrapped herself around him.

Lorenzo explained: 'The whole thing for me was beauty and the beast - Liam was the ruffian who would wear a hat and smoke a cigarette in bed so I told him to be tough and stare me down. Patsy was the babe so I told her to be all over her man.'
