Gross And Offensive

122 Comments

[Blind Gossip] This larger-than-life celebrity is both an actor and a host.

Not only does he have his own show, he still finds time to work on other TV and movie projects he finds interesting.

When someone called his portrayal of a character in an upcoming musical project “gross and offensive,” a prominent actress with whom he previously worked chimed in her own sentiments.

She went on and on and on about him.

“That is not the only work he has done that is gross and offensive. Everything he does is gross and offensive! He is a gross and offensive human being!”

Yikes!

She said he was a huge assh*le and that she would be only too happy to never have to work with him again.

We don’t know exactly what he did to her, but safe to say she is not a fan.

Hope she is not a night owl!

We don’t exactly know why, but American audiences generally find this man charming or funny, while British audiences don’t seem to think quite so highly of him.

Is it because British humor is different from American humor?

Or do Brits know something about him that we don’t know?

    James Corden!

    Optional: he does overcompensate a lot, which is something that can get out of hand very easily if not checked. Personally though, I think he’s OK on TV – film, not so much.

    James Corden – ick.
    For the life of me I don’t get why celebrities agree to his stupid game of eating gross things or dishing dirt. Clearly he isn’t clever enough to hold a show with our gimmicks. The carpool karaoke thing was cute in the beginning but it’s just tired now.

    It’s James Cordon and coming from the UK myself, I can vouch for him being a d*. He thought his s* didn’t stink even when he was an unknown and threw Mathew Horne, to the curb the minute he got the US gig. even though Matt was the more popular and talented out of the two.

    James Corden – playing gay character Barry Glickman in The Prom.

    He is gross. I think that American humour is different to British (or Australian for that matter) and so they mistake a charming accent and slightly subtle offensiveness as funny rather than the actual grossness that it is. Whereas we see through the fake charm and recognise him for the pig he is.

    This sounds like James Corden to me.

    I’ve always found him funny, but I only know his “public persona” from television and I’ve never met him in person. I really liked his ‘Doctor Who’ episodes, but people change.

    James Corden. All the Brits I know can’t stand him. I don’t think he is very funny except for carpool karaoke, and then he tries to sing over the real singers

  32. Delightful says

    James Corden. He was very good in Into the Woods, then seemed to start believing his own hype. I never watch his show, because it doesn’t hold my interest. I do like the coffee karaoke with Audra MacDonald, Jesse tyler Ferguson, Jane Krakowski and him singing Les Miserables. In general, I don’t like him. I will guess it’s Emily Blunt that spilled the tea on him.

    I like James and figure the director has say if he doesn’t like a performance.. that’s his job. Ryan obviously condoned and seemed to enjoy the performance.

    James Corden. He feels like a perv to me but I don’t know why. It’s like he tried so hard to project this big cuddly teddy bear energy but it backfires for me.

    James Corden

    I was a huge Craig Ferguson fan and never missed an episode of the Late Late Show when he hosted. When Corden took over, I planned to give the show a week to see if it was worth watching. I lasted two episodes and haven’t watched since. I found him untalented and annoying, and from many accounts he is a jerk.

  49. EmilyLou says

    This would be James Corden playing a gay man in a Netflix movie that hasn’t been released yet.

    I don’t know who the actress is.

    I loved him in Gavin and Stacy and was so excited when he came to US to do the late late show. But hearing from his friends across the pond, he’ll do anything to be popular and climb the highest on that ladder. Which seems like a lot of actors. But I thought he was different. Guess not.

  70. LavenderLush says

    I’m gonna guess James Corden.

    Actress – Meryl Streep (they worked together on Into the Woods)

    If this is true, that’s a real bummer becasue I was a big fan of his.

    James Cordon
    Hes an arrogant little c* weasel, he is well known in the UK for being rude and dismissive of the average man as well as many other actors. The USA can keep him over there forever as far as I’m concerned

  74. yellowbunny says

    James Corden. Generally unliked in the UK for being a piece of work. Sucks up to celebrities but very mean to the “little people”. Ambitious and career driven. Cut from the same cloth as Ellen DeGeneres.

  78. cassadaga says

    Definitely James Corden.

    I am British and I’ve yet to meet someone who likes him. Men in particular seem to actually loathe him. I’ve been neutral about him but enjoy his show so it’s a shame he’s a wanker.

  79. upjess says

    James Corden.

    Tbh as a Brit, I’ve not heard anything untoward about him. Just that he is known to be rude IRL, doesn’t interact with audiences in his shows unless the camera is on him and generally we find him overrated and annoying.

  82. tinyoctopodes says

    Definitely James Corden.

    We just don’t find him funny.

    He played a character on a beloved comedy series called gavin and stacey which was funny in context, but then he’s just been that same unfunny guy in everything else.

    Lesbian vampire killers essentially killed his career in the UK as everyone could see that him and his co-star were just boring and only had one character to play. It was a relief when he disappeared off to America and wasn’t on our TV anymore

  86. theaqueduct says

    James Corden. Sigh. Yes, I’m British and we don’t get why he’s done so well. But then I never understood why Russell Brand did either.
    What do I think of him? Several stories about how he’s used people and cast them aside and how he talks to his wife, cabin staff etc.

  87. sandhill22 says

    The man is James Corden, based on recent reviews of his performance in “The Prom”. I like some of his talk show bits but have not liked him in different movies I have seen him in.

  89. leahb16 says

    Man: James Corden, in Prom

    I’ll say the actress that panned him was Keira Knightley. They worked together on Begin Again and I think it was rumored they didn’t get along.

    [Optional] What do you think of him? I like him.

  91. whiskers says

    Golden Raspberry Winner James Corden.

    In my opinion, I initially found his behavior and buffoonery humor sort of charming and kind at first. Now I think he’s faux humble, tiresome and pandering.

    Who was the actress, Meryl or Sandra or Cate or Jennifer?

  92. no_one_no9 says

    sounds like James Corden.
    He just comes across as a bit of a berk, and strikes me that he’d be a big headed obnoxious git in real life. Funny in Gavin & Stacy, but weren’t they all?

  93. sazfoz says

    James Corden

    As a Brit, I can confirm he is a complete d*. There’s just something about him, entitled and arrogant and he had a bad rep for being rude.

  94. Beakerange says

    I’m guessing James Corden
    I’m not a fan of his, I think there is something really off and nasty about him. I’ve never seen Gavin & Stacey so I am not sentimental about him. I would guess Ruth Jones is the real talent anyway.

  96. claireuk says

    James Corden for sure, doing a new musical
    Some brits like him, especially for Gavin and Stacey, but personally I have never found him even slightly amusing and my family always wonder how he’s managed to be so successful especially in the US.
