Noel Gallagher was made the proud sponsor of a chimpanzee after pals brought him the unusual gift for his 40th birthday.
The Oasis chief-songwriter joked in early interviews that he wanted a pink Rolls Royce, top hat and pet monkey when he finally achieved fame.
And it was dream come true for Noel when mates of the Wonderwall star gave him a zoo certificate announcing a sponsorship for a chimp called Jimmy at London's Kitt bar on Saturday (May 26), according to The Sun.
It's actually the senior Gallagher's birthday today (May 29).
