Porn star Stormy Daniels isn’t the only one who (allegedly) chased Donald Trump around to “get him.” James Corden just told Stephen Colbert about the time he spanked Trump live on stage back in 2012, when the “Late Late Show” host starred in “One Man, Two Guvnors.”
“There used to be a bit in the play– throughout the whole play, I would talk to the audience and bring people out of the audience and things like that,” Corden started his story last night.
Though other famous folks like Steve Martin and Gene Wilder came out and willingly participated in the show, Corden never wanted to do anything “disrespectful” to those stars, he recalled. But then Trump came out with his wife Melania — game on.
“I brought him up on stage and I spanked him,” Corden told Colbert, “which I retrospectively realize now he must have really enjoyed.”
