James Corden fires back after troll tweets 'I hope his kid gets cancer'

James Corden is speaking up after an anonymous troll crossed the line and wished ill on the TV personality’s children.

The Late Late Show host was targeted by an angry Twitter commenter who blasted the “fat f**k” for referencing a plot point from Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones while making a joke about Donald Trump’s tariff war with China. Though the commenter admitted having already watched the episode, he or she accused Corden of “spoiling” the show for Game of Thrones fans.

But it was the troll’s next comment that sparked outcry from Corden and his fans.

“It’s f****d up you can’t even watch TV without a fat f**k spoiling something. Luckily I got to see it before this, but seriously I hope his kid gets cancer.”

Corden responded from his personal account. The 40-year-old father of three called the cancer jab “the single most upsetting thing I think you could ever say about me or my family” and shamed the troll for writing it.
Well I saw your hope for my son. My hope for yours is that they never get to read that their mother or father would wish cancer on any child as ‘a joke’.Because however you defend it to them,they’ll never be able to understand how you could do such a thing.
