Noel Gallagher has unveiled a behind-the-scenes look of his 'AKA... What A Life' music video exclusively on Digital Spy.

The singer said that he was surprised when Russell Brand "demanded" to be in the clip.

Gallagher explained: "He told me he was going to act me off-screen.

"I'm not a Hollywood actor, and some would say he's not either, so I told him to bring whatever he's got - bring the big guns and we'll have an act-off."

Gallagher's second cut from his debut album peaked at number 20 earlier this year, while the video has notched up 340,000 views since its premiere in October.

The star recently blamed Oasis's lack of success on his brother Liam.
