Why is James Corden annoying? Does his net worth make people jealous?
This week, the actor, comedian and singer began trending on Twitter for ALL the wrong reasons. The dad-of-three prompted strong reactions from lovers and haters alike when he filmed a mock musical video with Ariana Grande and Marissa J Winokur celebrating the end of lockdown in a parody of Hairsprays Good Morning Baltimore. And people were quick to tell James exactly what they thought  One raged: Just when you thought you couldnt dislike James Corden any more.  Another said: I dont think James Corden could make my skin crawl any more!?! I was going to tag his video in this tweet but I couldnt bear to look at him.  This is akin to a [bleep] war crime, tweeted another. James Corden needs to be stopped.  These are just a few in a sea of voices condemning the comedian.  No lockdowns anymore! @ArianaGrande, @MarissaJWinokur and @JKCorden celebrate the end of lockdown in a joyous parody of #Hairsprays Good Morning Baltimore pic.twitter.com/p0dLxQvsEu  The Late Late Show with James Corden (@latelateshow) June 16, 2021  James Corden slammed for The Prom  Were sure every celeb has their fair share of friends and foes. But James isnt shy of courting controversy  intentionally or otherwise. He got a lot of flack for taking on a gay role in the Netflix movie The Prom. Film fans accused him of playing the role to stereotype. The role scored him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical, but also a barrage of criticism. Others HATE his constant need to sing over everyone in Carpool Karaoke. This week, James came under fire for a culturally offensive segment on The Late Late Show mocking Asian foods. He has long played the Spill Your Guts game with guests, in which they can choose to either answer an uncomfortable question or eat a gross food. Now a petition has been started to stop the segment after a TikToker called out the show and its host for mocking foods considered delicacies in Asian culture. We have to admit, James can come across just a tad smug. And then theres that rumoured fall out with Gavin and Stacey star Mat Horne, reports of him screaming at waiting staff in restaurants, and even ignoring his own wife and children on a flight  all unsubstantiated we must add!

Speaking to the New Yorker, the Smithy actor said about his early brush with fame: I started to behave like a brat that I just dont think I am. Its so intoxicating, that first flush of fame. And I think its even more intoxicating if youre not bred for it.  His parents Margaret and Malcolm prayed for him, and told him dont be a [bleep]. Even Gavin and Stacey co-star Rob Brydon apparently had to have a word with him about his behaviour. Realising his bratty ways were getting out of control, James began to see a therapist, who he told: I used to be a better person than this.  James Corden ADORED by his fans! While he has his haters, when people like James Corden, they REALLY like him  think of the millions who tune in to watch him on The Late Late Show. Just this week, James got to meet the entire cast of Friends while filming Carpool Karaoke, delighting his supporters. One fan wrote: I love James Corden. Hes hilarious.  Another said: Dear James Corden, I am a big fan of yours! What I most love is that you seem to put all your heart in what you do. Also I love your connection to music which is authentic and passionate and palpable. Thank you so much.  A third echoed: James Corden is bloody brilliant.  James Corden CV and net worth  And lets cut to the chase, James has a CV is to die for. Not only did he co-create one of the most successful British comedies of all time with Gavin and Stacey, hes also made a name  or a voice  for himself in Peter Rabbit, Trolls, Smallfoot and The Emoji Movie. Lets not mention Cats, though Best if nobody ever mentions Cats again! James Corden has an estimated net worth of 35million, lives in sunny LA with his wife and children in a 7.5million mansion. Perhaps some people just dont find him that funny. Humour is a very personal thing, so take it or leave it. Michael McIntyre has his fair share of haters, too, as does Ricky Gervais  but theyre still laughing all the way to the bank! The very fact that James Corden trends frequently on Twitter means hes got the power to affect you  one way or another. And thats true fame. (And, for the record, we like Marmite!)
