Late night television king James Corden has delivered a scathing review of New Zealand, describing the country as a "little bit boring".
The host of CBS' smash hit show The Late, Late Show with James Corden made the comment while interviewing actor Bryce Dallas Howard about the Disney-produced Pete's Dragonmovie, which was filmed in the South Island - primarily in the small town of Tapanui.
Dallas Howard stars in the film which is expected to be a box-office hit.
"New Zealand ... it's a little bit boring," Corden told his guest.
Corden said climbing up and down hills was necessary for any ventures around New Zealand.
The movie's cast also includes Hollywood A-lister Robert Redford.
Last weekend Corden revealed he had teamed up with Kiwi comic Bret McKenzie, posting a picture of the two on Twitter with the message: "Loved being in the studio with Brett [sic] McKenzie last night! What a guy! X."
