Resurfaced footage shows moment James Corden was told Matthew Horne refused interview with him

The actor was stunned when Piers Morgan told him the news about his Gavin and Stacey co-star

Footage has re-emerged of the moment James Corden was told that Matthew Horne refused to be interviewed with him. Have a look here:

The comedian is one of the biggest names on the planet, and has millions in the bank following the success of his US talk show.

But for most people he will always be best known as the larger than life Smithy from BBC sitcom Gavin and Stacey.

The hit series ran for three seasons and remains on of the most popular British comedies of the past 20 years.

However, after the show ended, rumours began circulating that Corden had fallen out with his co-star and pal Horne after his move to the States.

Things came to a head when Corden appeared on Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019 and was told that Horne was asked to be part of the show but said no.

In a clip that has resurfaced, Morgan asks Corden: "Do you talk much?"

Corden seemed shattered when he learned that his mate said no to the interview.

"Err, we talk occasionally, yeah," Corden replies.

Morgan then says: "We asked him to take part in this programme and he chose not to."

"I didn't know that, but I can understand," a visibly shocked Corden said.

However, while the presenter seemed to frame it as though Horne had taken issue with something Corden had done, the actor later explained that this wasn't the case at all.

Horne said that it was, in fact, a manufactured spat, and that he never rejected the offer because he had fallen out with his former co-star.

Speaking to the Times, he said: "That's where the rumour that we'd fallen out started and it snowballed from there.

The pair are best known as Smithy and Gavin.

"I didn’t go on that show because I was filming out of London, and they could only film my interview on one day, and I couldn’t do it.

"The other reason is that I dislike Piers Morgan and everything he stands for."

He later added that the pair have always remained close.

The actor explained: "The truth is that there was never any rift and everything is fine. James and I have always been friends and we always will be.

"I talk to him quite a bit given the time zones and it was great to see him and be acting with him again.

"We never fell out, it was never that… We had such an intense love for each other. We were one person for a long time."
