James Corden has said “no-one ever tells you how to deal with this stuff” as he addressed how he struggled with fame and why he feels there is a negative perception of him online. Like many celebrities in the spotlight, the actor and comedian has faced criticism on social media and has recently been in the midst of a heated online dispute with the owner of Balthazar restaurant in New York for alleged bad behaviour.
In an interview with The Times, Corden said he no longer reads about himself in the media and aims to focus on his work. Asked why he feels there is a perception that he is cold to fans, the Gavin And Stacey star told the newspaper: “I think I used to get quite freaked out.
“I didn’t know how to deal with it, and also there was this thing of people going, ‘Ah, Smithy!’ and – what do you do? They’re expecting to meet this really confident lad, or lout, drinking lager, and I’m really not a lad, you know?
