Rob Brydon hints at insider knowledge about Gavin & Stacey return, while addressing negativity towards James Corden

In a recent interview, Rob Brydon, known for his role as Uncle Bryn in the popular BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, addressed negative reports about his co-star James Corden. The show, which returned in 2019 to break BBC viewing records, is set to have one final special this Christmas written by Corden and Ruth Jones. Brydon, who has been friends with both Jones and Corden for years, defended Corden against reports of alleged off-screen behavior, stating that the James Corden he knows personally differs from the one portrayed in the press. Despite negative reports surrounding Corden, Brydon expressed pride in being part of Gavin & Stacey, highlighting its global success and impact. He emphasized the show's production values, likening them to a movie rather than a typical TV series. Brydon also shared anecdotes from his time filming the show, including humorous encounters with fans who often mistake him for his character Bryn. The text also touches on various incidents involving Corden, such as a ban from a New York restaurant due to alleged rude behavior towards staff, which was later lifted after Corden apologized. Sharon Osbourne criticized Corden on Celebrity Big Brother for his name-dropping habits, suggesting that he played the "LA game" well upon moving to the US in 2015. Despite the controversies, Brydon's positive portrayal of Corden as a talented individual contrasts with some negative public perceptions. As Gavin & Stacey prepares for its final special, the dynamics between the cast members, particularly Brydon's defense of Corden, shed light on the complexities of celebrity relationships and the challenges of navigating fame in the entertainment industry. The enduring popularity of the show and the personal connections between the cast members continue to be a significant aspect of its legacy, resonating with audiences worldwide.
