James Corden was soundly defeated Tuesday night when he went head-to-head in a rap battle with Oscar winner Helen Mirren.
The pair's verbal tussle during the "Drop the Mic" segment of the Late Late Show kicked off with a few biting words. Mirren immediately called for fellow Brit Corden to "Bow down, James. Bow down. Kneel, baby. Kneel," to which the late night host cheekily responded, "We're not at home anymore. I'm the king in this studio."
Corden then kicked off the first round, setting the stage and the tone for the no-holds barred battle.
"Helen is basically an icon in her craft / When I heard she wanted to battle me, all I could do was laugh / Back home she’s considered the actress you have to fear / We're in America now / Meryl Streep lives here," he spat, later adding, "She played the Queen but now she's a royal pain in my ass."
