Liam Gallagher also expressed dislike in the same documentary, saying,

“For the first time in his life, Liam was lost for words. Tom did a double-take as they passed each other and went back to say hello,”
which indicates a surprisingly courteous exchange. The source added,
“They made polite conversation and Liam made a hasty departure,”
reflecting a brief but respectful interaction between the two men after years of public animosity.
