Gross And Offensive

[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. I think I speak on behalf of the majority of my fellow Brits when I say he’s a complete wanker.

  2. Rockin Robin says

    James Cordon.
    He is talentless and unfunny. I really can’t understand why he is so popular in America.

  4. GretaGuesses says

    James Gordon.

    I don’t think he is funny, interesting or entertaining. People I talk with across the pond can’t stand him and can’t figure out why he’s made it so big here in the states. I agree with them. He’s quite annoying.

  5. lynn123 says

    I thought of Russell Brand. He got a lot of complaints on British radio after calling up a 78 year old man to brag about having sex with his grandaughter.

  6. lad86000 says

    James Corden, I think that he is bi at least, love him but I think that he might be a snob in Real life, which it doesn’t affect me

  7. GeorgiaR says

    James Corden. While many a person has called him gross and and other names, the person who actually said so recently was actor Elliot (formerly Ellen) Page. I never knew until now that James Corden had such a terrible reputation. Apparently it’s not a huge secret in the entertainment industry.

  17. 18thArr says

    James Corden. I find his schtick to be nails-on-chalkboard excruciating, and completely disingenuous.

  20. laura1083 says

    James Corden

    I am a Brit and I cannot stand him! Not sure why he is so popular across the pond. He is not funny in the slightest.

  23. luddite2 says

    Sounds like James Corden, who was a nasty jerk awhile ago on another website’s AMA. He has Cinderella coming out next year too.

  25. surfsunsand05 says

    Man: James Corden, currently getting a lot of heat for his portrayal of a gay man (Barry Glickman) in the movie “The Prom.” Lots of Brits also tend to comment on how he played a rather annoying character on TV over there, and can’t understand how he’s so popular in the States.

    [Optional] What do you think of him? While I love his Carpool Karaoke segments (and his Crosswalk Musicals) I think he’s in general not very funny or a very good interviewer.

  30. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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.

  34. 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?

  35. 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?

  36. grumpy says

    Man: James Cordon

    What do you think of him? Can’t stand him I think the Brits are correct with this guy

  37. 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.

  39. 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.

  40. 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.

  41. Guestunknown says

    James Cordern. I have heard first hand from someone who was touring with a band and were guests on his show that he is a pig of a person. Extremely rude and arrogant.

  42. aaabeano says

    Sounds like James Corden.

    He’s a talented writer but has obviously ruffled quite a few feathers over here as he’s not liked at all.

  44. mariannedashwood says

    James Corden. Maybe Meryl?

    He was shoved in our faces on TV on here, and he’s way too full of himself.

  45. 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

  47. alinaa says

    James Corden

    He was his best on Gavin and Stacey and hosting ALOTO, he’s changed since he’s been in America and made his new Hollywood friends

  48. 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.

  49. 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.

  50. allegoriedesoie says

    Man: James Corden.

    Optional: I saw him first on Dr Who, and I found him funny. His host persona can be a bit much, tbh.

  53. 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.

  55. Abstermcdaddyo says

    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

  56. wenchie70x says

    James Corden

    He’s about as funny as gout. As a Brit, please keep him. No one likes him here

  57. 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.

  58. BlackEyedSusan says

    James Corden and I don’t see anything funny about him. Worse is that I can’t stand to watch him.

  67. Lby54229 says

    James Corden.

    Nothing special. Not funny. Not charming. Not interesting. Not nice to look at. What is the appeal?

  70. Kimelem says

    James Corden for that really kitsch looking movie prom.
    The Brits know something we don’t. I myself don’t particularly fancy him or his humor.

  72. GooglyMoogly says

    James Corden

    Cannot stand him.

    Loved Craig Ferguson. How the **** did CBS give Craig’s show to that loser?

  78. 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.

  83. redbus says

    absolutely james cordon, the play is “Puff” I mean people thought ellen was nice until the rumors started flying.. people don’t lie,

  85. psychicdeath says

    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.

  90. cuppycakes01 says

    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.

  91. jayayzle says

    James Corden is kind of fat and maybe offensive to some.
    He means nothing to me. Cats didn’t do very well.

  92. mrcellophane says

    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.

  95. 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.

  96. Palermo says

    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

  98. orangeness says

    James Corden. Many Brits think he’s a total dickhead and are embarassed that he’s so famous in the US. He’s said to be really up himself.

  100. parkland45 says

    I sure hope this is not James Corden. His interview on 60 Minutes was wonderful. Loved his sweet karaoke & tour of Liverpool with Paul McCartney.

  103. Ralphie says

    This is James Corden. His overly flamboyant character in Prom.

    I’ve never liked him. Can’t put a finger on why, but I feel validated now. (And I’ve heard rumors he stole Carpool Karaoke from Dave Chappelle.)

  105. Boomba0372 says

    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.

  106. silence1534 says

    James Corden

    I’ve heard gossip for years that he’s a giant t*. I smell another talk show host scandal, a la Ellen.

  107. dangerlite says

    James Corden, in “The Prom.” My money’s on Emily Blunt for the actress, FWIW.

    I can’t stand him. He’s obsequious and cloying.

  108. gailpow says

    Getting a James Corden vibe here. I guess Ellen DeGeneres is not the only a–hole talk show host.

  112. Christina X says

    James Corden

    Never liked him. He just seem to be so smug. He’s also extremely overzealous and it seems insincere.

  113. wombat says

    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.

  118. aaashell says

    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.

  119. aaawam20 says

    Please don’t tell me it’s Noel Fielding!!! I love him so much! America needs to adopt him!

  122. keenobserver says

    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.

  124. tinker says

    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.
