Corden shared that while Ozempic made him feel less hungry, his eating habits had little to do with hunger. He discussed how his urge to overeat stemmed from something more emotional, connecting with friends like Richard Osman, who has spoken about food addiction linked to childhood trauma.
The Late Late Show host also shared a personal story about eating a king-size Dairy Milk bar while at a carwash, noting that his cravings were not driven by hunger but by emotional triggers. Corden admitted his food struggles are challenging to overcome, especially with an "addictive personality."
Corden isn’t the only celebrity to share concerns about Ozempic. Kate Winslet has also raised questions about the drug, and Stephen Fry recently revealed that after trying it, he experienced severe nausea, vomiting up to five times a day. Though Fry briefly enjoyed the effects, like losing his appetite and desire for alcohol, he eventually had to stop due to worsening sickness.
Ozempic, a drug originally designed for managing diabetes, has stirred controversy in Hollywood, with many debating its use for weight loss and the potential side effects.
