Why did Liam Gallagher call his son Lennon?
Liam Gallagher has long cited John Lennon as his musical hero. His son’s first name is a direct tribute to the Beatles legend — a decision the Oasis frontman has discussed in interviews over the years.
Tribute to John Lennon
- Liam has repeatedly referred to John Lennon as his greatest inspiration (W Magazine confirms parentage).
Liam’s admiration for The Beatles
The Gallagher family’s Beatles fandom runs deep. Liam has often credited the Fab Four with shaping his musical direction, and giving his son the name Lennon extends that legacy into the family’s personal life.
For a child growing up in the shadow of Oasis, the name Lennon signals both heritage and aspiration — a message that music lineage matters as much as attitude.
The implication: the name itself becomes a public declaration of musical allegiance, woven into the family’s identity.
How old is Liam Gallagher’s son Lennon?
Lennon Gallagher was born in 1999, making him 26 years old as of 2025. His exact birth date remains unconfirmed, but the year is consistent across multiple profiles (DNA Models lists age range, born in UK).

Who does Lennon Gallagher model for?
As of 2025, Lennon is represented by two major agencies: DNA Models in New York and Models1 in London. He has appeared in high-fashion campaigns and walked for several luxury houses.
DNA Models
His New York agency, DNA Models, lists him on its men’s main board and notes his London residence. He made his fashion debut in 2016 with a LOVE editorial titled “Bright Young Goths” (DNA Models).
Models1
His London agency Models1 also represents him. His Instagram bio references the agency: “UK: Models1.” (Instagram)

Lennon is a member of the band Automotion, as confirmed by Numero Netherlands and repeated by his London agency Models1.
Music style and influences
Automotion’s sound draws on rock and indie traditions. Lennon has cited Oasis and The Beatles as key influences, a natural extension of his family’s musical history.
Future projects
With active agency representation and a growing social media presence (211K followers on Instagram), Lennon is positioned to continue both modeling and music.
If Automotion or a solo project gains traction, Lennon could step out of the “son of” shadow entirely — but his agency ties ensure fashion will remain a steady anchor.
The catch: his music output remains limited, so the fashion career currently carries more concrete evidence of sustained work.
