Can understand that James Corden (and Karren) are not to everyones taste but it is deliberately OTT.
I have never heard of the original poster before. It seems to be a frequent thing.

He was good in "Fat Friends" (which also starred Ruth Jones) and "The History Boys" too. Don't know why he doesn't do more "proper" acting.

There's nothing wrong with his looks. He looks average to me. #shrug.

I'm still mildly curious as to what your problem is with James Corden, OP. What's he ever done to you?
I asked you this same question in one or other of your previous threads about him. You still haven't filled us in on what he's done to make you hate him quite as much as you reckon to.

What an absolute turd of a post - you sound like such a lovely person Hazel, I bet you've got them lining up to smash your back doors in - not.

Just no need at all to be so nasty about a guys happiness - but it seems you don't have a lot else to do based on you're previous posting history.

The OP is really pretty nasty.

I'm not a fan of James Corden, but to lay that on the bloke really isn't on.

He's admitted that he let his ego get the better of him on his rise to fame and reckons that his loved ones brought him back down to earth and he's grown out of it. Am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Don't. He remains a very nasty little fat man. He was told to pretend to be nice because his terrible personality was threatening his career. It is all fake and he remains obnoxious. If you watch him when he is at his fakery, you can pick it out a mile off - just little to the tone of his voice change when he is making it up.

I don't understand why with all the money he's got (so he can hire personal trainers and dieticians, unlike most), he doesn't just lose weight. All it takes is a bit of willpower. I put him in a similar class to Adele, as a fat person who might actually be considered "hot" by many, if he lost some weight. Underneath the double chins, he's got handsome features.

But i suspect he may actually be afraid of what would happen to his career if he was no longer fat. He's essentially built his career by being a "funny fat man". Would people still find him particularly amusing or talented, if he was just a regular slim bloke?

if he stays fat, the cash keeps rolling in. He may get paranoid one day about his wife (who is fairly attractive) fancying other men, and that might spur him to lose weight.

I don't know her or anything about her, but maybe they are alike. After all, you quite often meet couples who suit each other because they share each other's bad trait. I have met many of very pretentious men who married very pretentious women etc. Having said that, I don't know much about Corden except that by his own admission he went through a star-struck stage and was a total pain in the arse and that one day his parents came round and gave him a good talking to which helped. His new wife and their child have also helped him a lot. But I did see a cringeworthy awards ceremony where he more or less referred to his partner, now wife, as a 'mummy figure', which was very disturbing. But then none of us writing here can know what goes on in their relationship.

Both Adele and James Corden have talent and being 'skinny' is not necessary for them to have a career. If JC lost weight his choice of parts might actually be more limited.

She is a very good actress and is getting more critical praise in a show she is doing right now.

I like him, he losing weight the right way and fatherhood seems to have changed him. He's a good writer and was very good on stage and in dramas.

He's seems to have grown up and grown out of the ego thing of the past, so let him get on with what he's doing.

This country always turns on people once they move up the ladder is so bloody weird.

As for the OP I think he's Matthew Horne. I would be mad if my ex bff is winning Tony awards while I'm in rubbish shows like Bad Teacher on BBC3

And you know him personally in order to make these allegations?

Or perhaps you're an expert in body language or voice analysis?

Looking at your past postings as others have done, it seems you don't like anybody.

That's my point. If Corden was as talented as you think, then losing weight should make no difference to his career.He's an actor and comic personality....slimmer, attractive actors tend to have a wider range of roles offered to them. Corden specialises in playing chubby bufoons. His choice of parts would widen with weight loss, but his talent might not be seen as being significant enough to get roles that don't call for a fat clown.

i agree that Adele would not really be affected by a weight loss, as her primary tool (her voice), would probably remain the same.

I'm sure he's losing sleep over the deluded ramblings of a malicious construct on an internet discussion forum.

Hopefully he'll pick up the pieces and get on with his (very successful) life.

Perhaps she has more depth of character than that and loves him for his ways and the appeal of his personality to her.

We aren't all so shallow that looks mean everything.

I agree to an extent, but I'm also cynical enough to believe his fame and wealth plays a part in his being attractive to his partner. He might have a cracking personality, but if he was a milkman, instead of a millionaire actor/presenter/TV show producer, would she have gone out with him, let alone married him.

We'll never know.

Dear me. What a shallow cynic you are.

I'm a cynic. But I said I agree that looks don't mean everything, so I'm not that shallow. But I'm realistic enough to admit that many people are, particularly very pretty women like Corden's wife, who rarely date someone they consider "beneath" them, either in looks or status.

Very attractive women tend to either go for looks or status/wealth or both. Corden has at least one of the two, so can be considered a "catch". If living in the real world makes me a shallow cynic, so be it it.

I'd venture to say you know nothing about his wife, her feelings, and who she dates or marries but don't let that stop you trying to be an expert.....

Mate, you are on showbiz gossip site/message board. if you don't like people speculating about celebs and their significant others, maybe you might just be on the wrong place, because that's basically what we do here. Speculate about famous people and their careers/partners etc.

So yeah, get off the high horse please. You seem much too classy for this joint
