To think Bradley Walsh just threw shade at James Corden on The Chase

The answer to a question about which musical starred James corden, Dominic cooper and Russel tovey was The History Boys.

after the answer was announced Bradley goes, “yep, Dominic Cooper, Russel Tovey -lovely lads”.

I always hear stuff about what a horrible person James Corden is so maybe other “celebs” also think the same?

I thought it was widely known that he's a bit of a cunt?

I thought the same.

Friend of mine once saw him in a public place and they were both waiting in the queue for something. Friend works in media (admittedly not fame-level media) and said to him that his work in television/writing had been a big inspiration to him when he was starting out as they're of a similar age/background and that it was nice to see a fellow Brit making it in America. Corden's response? "Hmpf" before turning his back.

I bloody love Bradley 🤣🤣

Someone to,d me that a friend saw him on a plane from LA to London and he slept the whole way, even though there was a woman struggling with a really loud and wriggly baby next to him. They thought he was some sort of sleeping champ, until the plane landed and he got off with the woman. It was his wife. He had ignored his wife and child for ten hours.

I think that 'friend' of your friend saw that well-known story doing the rounds Wink

Probably, Bradley Walsh never seems very far from a quip.

PS I opened this thread thinking you meant Bradley Cooper which would have been even more interesting 😀

mollynolly · 16/01/2023 18:42

Yes, that could well have been the case BUT I know lots of people with firsthand experience of JC who say it sounds about right - which tells you a lot!

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 16/01/2023 18:43

Definitely a bona fide cunt. I wanna know what dirt he has on people to ensure that an unfunny, uncharismatic and unattractive man made it in Hollywood.

I feel like James Corden has the career that Bradley Walsh deserves.

IncompleteSenten · 16/01/2023 18:44

He's very well known to be an absolute cunt I think.

JellyfishandShells · 16/01/2023 18:48

A musical ? It was a long running stage drama and then a (very good) film - but don’t recall a musical version with that cast. Do remember Richard Griffith on a scooter ……

They did a film version without the music. A bit weird!

TheObstinateHeadstrongGirl · 16/01/2023 18:51

In fact…it may just be a play not a musical. I saw it once donkeys years ago and can’t remember

mollynolly · 16/01/2023 18:52

It's an Alan Bennett play

LlynTegid · 16/01/2023 18:53

I saw the play.

James Cordon was the weakest part of the play, if you had told me he would have a career other than playing minor characters such as an injured person in Holby City or Causualty, I would not have believed you.

BertaHoon · 16/01/2023 18:56

Ahaha - I said the same to my daughter!

I think shade was definitely thrown.

thinkfast · 16/01/2023 18:58

I can't remember any music in the history boys.....

MrsJamin · 16/01/2023 18:59

I think that this video reveals a lot about James Corden

Oysterbabe · 16/01/2023 19:03

Everyone says he's deeply unpleasant so wouldn't surprise me. I remember a recent story about him shouting at waiting staff over an omelette.

As does this one (skip to 7 minutes in)

This was on Popbitch.

Sorry, quoted the wrong post. But I see someone else has already pointed out that this was from Popbitch anyway.

Well I have met Sir Patrick Stewart a couple of times and can confirm that he is lovely, so well done to him!

Namechanger965 · 16/01/2023 19:34

I don’t like james corden but the Patrick Stewart thing just makes Patrick Stewart look like a twat. Even if someone’s a bad host there’s no need to tell them off on stage, and to then call him fat, that was uncalled for. Plus the ‘if you fancy the jonas brothers cover your belly’ comment made no sense, Patrick Stewart came off worse there.
