Video Transcript

- Hi, I'm Lyla.

- Hi, I'm Luna.

- And our dad works for Yahoo, talking to celebrities.

- Now it's our turn.

- We watched the new movie, "Peter Rabbit: 2". And today we're talking to Peter Rabbit himself, James Corden.

- It's a man.

- We loved your movie. It was so funny.

JAMES CORDEN: Oh, I'm so pleased you liked it. It's so nice to talk to you. It's so much better talking to you than it is your dad.

KEVIN POLOWY: Yeah.

JAMES CORDEN: I can already tell you're better at this.

- Why does Peter Rabbit wear a jacket but no pants? That's weird.

JAMES CORDEN: That is a brilliant question. The reason he wears that jacket is that, that jacket belongs to his father and it was sort of the last thing that his father was wearing. And so, Peter has a huge emotional attachment to that jacket. But I don't know why he doesn't wear pants.

- Just like put on some pants, Peter, jeez.

JAMES CORDEN: I know, and Donald Duck as well, right? Both of them.

- Do you like hurting the guy from "Star Wars"?

JAMES CORDEN: Domhnall Gleeson who plays Mr. McGregor, well, I don't ever physically hurt him.

- We love it when he gets really badly hurt. It's so funny.

JAMES CORDEN: That says more about you than it does about the film, I think.

- Are you in "Star Wars"?

- I am your father.

- No. You're not my father.

JAMES CORDEN: I'm not in "Star Wars".

- Why not?

JAMES CORDEN: I've never been asked to be in it, but that's-- but nor are most people. Most people have never been asked to.

KEVIN POLOWY: Yeah. Not everybody gets to be in "Star Wars", guys.

- Rey is, Finn is, Chewbacca is, Kylo Ren is.

JAMES CORDEN: Yeah, that's true.

- Princess Leia is, Darth Vader is, BB-8.

JAMES CORDEN: We love BB-8. He's my favorite.

- Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, JarJar, Yoda, baby Yoda.

JAMES CORDEN: Yeah.

- There's like 100,000 ewoks.

JAMES CORDEN: I'm too big to play any one. I think if I was an ewok, I'd really stand out.

KEVIN POLOWY: Let's not make James feel bad for not being in "Star Wars".

- Do you know what we call our daddy?

JAMES CORDEN: I don't.

- "Daddy doo-doo face".

JAMES CORDEN: Oh, wow.

KEVIN POLOWY: I don't know why I let this keep happening.

JAMES CORDEN: This is really taking a turn, Kevin.

- Daddy says you have a talk show. What's the deal with that?

JAMES CORDEN: It's a talk show. It's on CBS and it's on when you are fast asleep.

- Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this.

JAMES CORDEN: We do a segment on the show where I drive around in a car with people and sing songs. Are there any singers that you like? What sort of singers do you like?

- We like Beyonce, Katy Perry and Rihanna.

JAMES CORDEN: Katy Perry's done it.

- (SINGING) It felt so right.

JAMES CORDEN: And people like Harry Styles and Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez.

KEVIN POLOWY: Mariah Carey.

- (SINGING) Baby, come on.

JAMES CORDEN: Was the first one, Yeah.

- I don't know her.

- So you just talk to people and they pay you?

- Yeah, that is it. It is crazy.

- Luna talks a lot. Can she have a talk show?

JAMES CORDEN: 100%. What we're doing now is far better than my talk show.

- I already made up a name for her talk show, "Luna Talks A Lot."

JAMES CORDEN: That's great. "Luna Talks A Lot", tonight on CBS.

- Here's Luna.
