James Corden involved in 'rude' and humiliating confrontation with Pierce Brosnan

A brand new confrontation has been revealed between James Corden and a certain Mamma Mia! star live on TV this week.

James Corden, known for his Late Late Show gig and Gavin and Stacey appearances, is well known for some awkward feuds with fellow celebrities. The Mirror reports that the star was in hot water recently with his brief ban from a top New York City restaurant due to his treatment of waiting staff.

However, during a twist on 'Truth or Dare' on his programme, The Late Late Show, James was forced to confess about a rather awkward confrontation with Pierce Brosnan. He was dared to reveal a celebrity who had been rude to him, and picked the Mamma Mia! star.

During the 'Spill or Fill your Guts' game, alongside guest Khloe Kardashian, James either had to name the rude celeb, or drink bird saliva. James ended up admitting: "There was someone. But I don't know if we’re going to try and book him on the show. I don’t know if I can drink it."

Khloe hit back at his coy answer, saying: "Why would you want to book him if he's rude. Screw him, and tell us the name."

He then revealed that it was Pierce Brosnan, and explained the situation. James said: "Pierce Brosnan. I don’t think he's a rude man, he just happened to be [to me]. I went to see U2 and I was there with my friend Louis and his wife, and my wife.

"And Pierce Brosnan was with some friends and they left halfway through the gig to go off, and we left the space [for them].

"And then they had been gone quite a long and Bono was like right there on this sort of big runway in the middle of the show."

James then felt he was able to nip into the space Pierce left to get closer to the show, but wasn't expecting what happened next. The star continued: "So me and my wife moved into this area, and literally, I’ve never felt anything like it, this arm went on here and just pushed me out the way.

""And I looked at him, and he didn't even glance at me and he just moved back into his area. Maybe he's just a bit f***ing rude."

So despite there being no war of words, that sure was an awkward encounter with quite the A-lister celebrity. We don't expect to see Pierce on James' show anytime soon.
