If the rest of us have to live with Cats’ terrifying ghost, then so must the people who made it — James Corden very much included
Bustopher Jones is complicit. Photo: Universal Pictures Like Evan Rachel Wood, I found myself in the grips of a meltdown like 10 minutes into Cats; every time I checked in with my own face, it had rearranged itself in a rictus of horrified confusion. There’s an unsettling skin suit that keeps getting unzipped; there’s the lingering question of why these alleged animals have human hands and breasts, but also full-body fur and that eerie tail-butt combination.
James Corden, for example; the man who played Bustopher Jones — the top-hatted, tuxedo-wearing cat creature — and who conspicuously fled the film’s premiere after the red carpet. Corden has previously responded to Cats-related inquiries with statements like, “I’m sure it’s terrible;” now, he has confirmed to the New Yorker that he still hasn’t watched the unmitigated box office disaster he helped create, and further, that he probably never will.
“I can’t imagine I’ll see it,” Corden said. “It’s important to say I had the best time making it. At some point, you have to go, ‘How am I going to judge my own experience? Am I only going to have enjoyed something if it was successful?’” That really seems like a question that can only be answered by seeing the dang movie, though. Corden’s fellow costars have seen it: Taylor Swift described Cats as a “weird-ass” ride, but said she has “no complaints” about getting involved.
This is the correct attitude to have, this willingness to publicly embrace one’s arguable failures. And also, if the rest of us have to live with Cats’ terrifying ghost, then so must the people who made it. The time has come for James Corden to face the consequences of his actions. The time has come for James Corden to watch Cats.
