You're probably familar with Carpool Karaoke, a very popular segment from The Late Late Show during which host James Corden drives around with a celebrity and sing songs. But now a video is raising a very pressing question - is Corden actually driving?
The video was shot by Zoli Honig and shows Corden in his car with Justin
Bieber, and they're being towed by a truck instead of actually driving.
Honig said that he shot the footage on Wednesday morning
near the corner of Beverly Boulevard and N. La Brea Avenue in Los
Angeles while sitting at a bakery.
"As we’re sitting there
eating I see this Range Rover being towed with a bunch if cameras and |
was like, 'oh my god, it's James Corden," he said.
He shared the
video on Twitter with the caption, "Saw James Corden and Justin Bieber
filming carpool karaoke and this is why I have trust issues — he isn't
even driving!"
That set off a flurry of responses from people who
were either shocked that Corden wasn't driving, or smugly proud for not
being shocked at all.
Can we ever trust again?
CBS asked to give the hard facts, and the truth is that everyone is right.
"James
always drives during 'Carpool Karaoke.’ However, on the rare occasion
when there is a stunt component and the producers feel it is unsafe to
drive, we will use a rig (tow)," a spokesperson said.
So there you have it. He does drive, except for when he doesn't.
