Yeeeah, I’m not watching 25 minutes of someone shitting on someone else, especially since I don’t know or care about either end of that online petri dish.
He had an awkward on-stage spat with Sir Patrick Stewart.
He couldn’t name two of his cameramen when asked by Jimmy Kimmel on a “spill your guts or fill your guts” segment.
He had a disastrous Reddit AMA where several people called him out for being a douchebag.
He was very hostile to wait staff at a restaurant when they messed up his wife’s order.
He was criticized for admitting that several of the “carpool karaoke” segments were filmed with him not actually driving, instead the car was being towed.
He was in the movie Cats
People’s real complaint with him seem to be the contrast of his everyman persona with his apparent real life behavior.
At a glance that seems… disproportionate, but alright. This is me telling everybody I’m good with this answer and don’t need to ever think about this again.
I’m with you on that. I was curious just because I’ve heard people talk shit about him a lot, but I’ve never watched his show or anything else that he’s in. My take was basically, “yup, that’s about your standard Reddit pitchfork mob.” He might be an asshole, but who cares.
Not sure about all the hate. Smeared like Ellen, I guess. He co-created/wrote/produced ‘Gavin & Stacey’, which is superb, and did the Car Karaoke thing.
Ultimately, the hate is jealous fabrication/exaggeration/hyperbole.

I’d be grateful for a summary, though.
I watched the video out of curiosity:

Ease of mistreating waitstaff is really a good indicator that a person is awful.
Okay.

So factually a legitimate asshole then. Cool.
“he made some popular things and something that I personally like so the hate is clearly all fake news” is certainly quite the take.
