James Corden Is Supposedly Much Different Than His TV Persona In Real Life

James Corden has made headlines for not being the easiest person to work with. Director Craig Duncan, who worked with the British comedian on “A League of Their Own,” opened up about their negative experience with the late-night host. In a YouTube video posted on April 2, Duncan described Corden as the most “difficult and obnoxious presenter” with whom he’s ever worked. “I’ll never forget it,” he explained. “There was a joke, and I remember [Corden] just looked at it like, ‘That’s not funny, that’s not funny, ah s***, we have to rewrite this.'”

While he attributed Corden’s behavior to him having a “bad day,” Duncan revealed that the “Into The Woods” actor began to hassle him over his directing skills. “We were working it out to save time when [Corden] pipes up, ‘What the f*** is going on here? It’s obvious what you do. You put a camera there, you put a camera there… you’re stupid!'” he revealed. Duncan’s admission isn’t the first time Corden’s problematic behavior has made headlines. In a 2020 interview with The New Yorker, “Gavin & Stacey” star Rob Brydon revealed that he confronted Corden for his attitude while filming the series. “I said, ‘Look, this is a bit awkward to say, but I’m just hearing these things about you, and you’ve got to know that the way you behave has an effect on people,” he told the publication.
