James Corden brought out his pur-fect acting skills when he joined the cast of 'Cats'. While the cast members enjoyed being part of the movie, the audience was not so happy with the content that was delivered. Surprisingly, Corden hasn't seen the movie himself. Corden sat down with Zoe Ball Breakfast Show and was forced to answer a question about his feelings towards the movie getting negative reviews. 

Corden admitted that he hadn't seen the movie. “I haven’t seen it,”  he said.  “I’ve heard it’s terrible … I’ll catch it one day, I imagine.” Ever since the movie released people have been criticizing it. Many took to social media to express their disappointment over the movie despite having a phenomenal cast. "I snorted 7 lines of catnip and got to see the movie CATS for free. And surprisingly, even my hallucination had bad CGI," wrote one. 

Another added, "My viewing of Cats was only heightened by the group of small children sitting next to me who literally kept meowing and licking each other the entire movie." While people were busy criticizing the movie, Judi Dench came forward and spoke about her 'Cats' character being transgender. 

"It's glorious to have been included in [the film], I must say. [It was] nerve-wracking because all I can hear is Brian Blessed all the time in the production that I wasn’t able to be in,” she said in an interview with Out Magazine. “I kind of call it ‘trans-Deuteronomy,’" she explained. "[That's] the part for me, you know," she added. 

Overall, Dench admitted that she enjoyed playing the role that she was assigned to the movie.  "It was lovely, lovely to be led about and be an aged cat, very nice indeed," she said. The movie also has celebrities like Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson, Taylor Swift, and others on it.
