British actor James Corden was banned by Ryanair shortly after he was temporarily banned from the popular Balthazar restaurant in New York. The company, known for its entertaining social media posts, announced the restriction on Twitter, along with a photo of Corden with a red ‘cancel’ circle around his face. With James Corden trending on Twitter for being rude to restaurant staff, this restriction may just be an attempt by the airline to capitalize on the trend. This prompted a flurry of amusing memes online, with some individuals applauding the ban. It also elicited similar reactions from other brands.

James Corden’s flying story involves his family.
Restaurant owner Keith McNally banned the British comedian for being rude to staff and waiters. McNally eventually rescinded the suspension after Corden apologized profusely. The internet, on the other hand, overwhelmingly supported the ban, calling Corden a “nightmare” worthy of it.
Soon after, reports of The Late Late Show host’s relationships with others surfaced. One such new story is the infamous one involving James Corden, the woman and the baby. Passengers en route from London to New York claimed to have witnessed the Cats star sitting near a woman with young children. Corden, to their surprise, did not disturb the young man or show any sign of distress. He put on headphones and kept quiet. When the plane landed, Corden remained seated while the woman struggled with luggage from the overhead compartment. Then the woman said to Corden:
“Could you please hold the baby while I carry the bag?”
It turned out that the woman was his wife and the child was his. Whether the story is true or not, it doesn’t invalidate other accounts of his nasty behavior. Most people believe these stories because they seem consistent with other visible behaviors.
Although not gay himself, Corden has faced backlash for playing various LGBT roles. Users claim that it uses homophobic metaphors and caricatures. He is also hated because he is against unions, which the internet considers essentially elitist.
Other airlines have joined Ryanair in banning James Corden.
Corden, who has a net worth of nearly $70 million as of November 2022, is unlikely to fly with a low-cost airline like Ryanair. However, the Irish-owned company is notorious for downplaying current events and can joke about the ban. They make jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s relationship history, Boris Johnson’s Paygate controversy and Eric Trump’s private jet past.
Whether the airline took it seriously or not, it prompted other companies, even those unrelated to James Corden, to impose similar restrictions. Nebraska Humane Society, Riot Fest, and even Ba Sing Se (a fictional town in the Avatar anime series) participated. One user even banned him from “the Yorkshire region in general”. Other tweets related to the scenarios also appeared, leading to memes and jokes. As of this writing, no Ryanair official has commented on this subject. The comedian has not commented on the incident.
