James Corden breaks silence as he slams restaurant ban as 'so silly'

James Corden has called the outcry surrounding his behaviour at a restaurant as "so silly". The actor-turned-presenter, 44, broke has silence after being accused of being "the worst customer" in the 25-year history of the popular New York eatery Balthazar over his wife's wrongly-cooked dish.

However, the Gavin and Stacey creator has since brushed off the incident, saying it happens in establishments all over the globe all the time. James was asked in an interview if he was "all right" following the criticism and the backlash that followed. The actor questioned the reporter for the New York Times, asking what he meant.

When the question was confirmed and he was asked further about being glad not to have to cancel his current engagements, James' tone is said to have changed. He defensively snapped: "I haven't done anything wrong, on any level. So why would I ever cancel this [the interview]? I was there. I get it. I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it's so silly."
