Following the news that talk show host James Corden had been - albeit briefly - banned from a New York restaurant over treatment of staff, news has resurfaced that his Gavin & Stacey co-star, Rob Brydon once sat down Corden to discuss his behaviour.
Although an apology has now been given and his ban rescinded, previous comments made by Corden's Gavin & Stacey co-star have now resurfaced. The 57-year-old, who is known for his role as Uncle Bryn in the BBC sitcom, said: "I’d known him for a while – we met on a big comedy-drama called Cruise of the Gods in about 2002. I was very impressed by him, although he was very young, very green – very provincial is how I would describe him, not unlike myself at that age. He is such a talent, James, good God he really is. So he was on a rollercoaster."
Despite praising Corden, 44, Brydon added: "He was burning the candle at both ends, and becoming ratty and irritable," before describing how he took him out for lunch to set the Late Late Show host straight.
