'There are some - me included - who think James Corden would be much improved by being crushed into a more compact, cube-shaped version of James Corden,' Corden recalled, insinuating that the review was 'fattist.'
'I know the things I've done that aren't good - but that was good,' he said. 'And I remember thinking, how is nobody saying, 'This is really
