Eva Mendes' Oasis Crush 8/12/08

Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has admitted to a massive crush on Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.

The Hitch star insists she became a big fan of the British rock band in the 1990s, before shooting to fame herself.

And Mendes' love for the group, and Gallagher in particular, still affects her to the present day.

She says, "Before I was an actress, when Oasis were really hot in America, I went to LA to see them play.

"I had a crush on Liam Gallagher. I got backstage and met him. But I was so in awe of him, I couldn't say anything. He just looked at me as if I was dumb. "Just thinking about it now makes me break out in a cold sweat."
