Paris Hilton and Damon Albarn spoke about street artist Banksy at the Coachella festival in Los Angeles, according to reports.

Hilton is said to have cornered Albarn backstage following Gorillaz’ headlining set on Sunday (April 18).

After kissing the singer on the cheek, the socialite then apparently engaged him in a conversation about Banksy to keep his attention.

“Paris spotted Damon across the bar and instantly wanted to get close to him,” a source told the Daily Star.

“She practically pushed people out of the way to get to him. Knowing Damon’s really into graffiti, she started chatting to him about Banksy.”

Gorillaz topped the bill on the final day of the festival, which also features Muse, Jay-Z and Thom Yorke.

Hilton was one of a host of celebrities who also attended the festival.
