James Corden blasted Pierce Brosnan for being “f****** rude” as he opened up about an awkward celebrity encounter.

Corden, 38, claimed he was pushed by the former James Bond star at a U2 concert – and didn’t receive an apology.

Corden made the claim during a game of Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts with Khloe Kardashian on The Late Late Show which saw him faced with choosing between outing a famous person who was impolite to him, or drinking bird saliva.

“There was someone but I don’t know if we’re going to try and book him on the show,” he said.

Kardashian asked: “Why would you want to book him if he was rude? Screw him and tell us the name.”

Not a fan of the bird saliva Corden said: “Pierce Brosnan. I don’t think he’s a rude man. I went to see U2 and I was with my friend Louis and his wife and my wife and Pierce was there with friends and they left this area half way through the gig.

“Bono was right there, so me and my wife moved into this area and literally I’ve never felt anything like it, this arm just pushed me out of the way.

“I looked at him and he didn’t glance at me. He just moved back in to the area.”

Trying to justify his actions, Kardashian said: “Maybe he was a bit drunk?”

Corden replied: “Maybe he’s just a bit f****** rude.”

Standard Online has contacted a representative for Brosnan for comment.

But Corden wasn't keen to disclose which celebrity had the worst vocals when they joined him for Carpool Karaoke.

Opting to eat chicken feet instead he said: “I just think it's so unfair to answer this.”
