Noel Gallagher is enjoying a well-earned holiday following a hectic summer festival schedule.

And the Oasis star's sunny break appeared to become even brighter when he shared a drink and chat with Hollywood legend Robert De Niro.

The pair were pictured deep in conversation at a table full of wine and cocktail glasses, with the glistening water and a luxury yacht clearly shown in a window reflection in the background.

The snap, which the singer posted on his Instagram account, was captioned with a surprisingly starstruck comment from the usually unflappable Mancunian rocker.

It read: "So we've been down to The South of France for a few days and at 17 hour lunch at our friends house THIS..THIS..

Actually happened!!! Photo by Saspg."

The image was posted on the day Oasis marked 20 years since their storming 1996 Knebworth gig, performed to a massive 125,000 fans.
