James Corden and Tom Cruise crashed a real performance of 'The Lion King' back in February, performing as Timon and Pumbaa, respectively, but that was just the tip of the iceberg! (via toofab)
As it turns out, it all started with a comment Cruise made when he took Corden up on a fighter jet a year ago, saying,"Somewhere, before it's all said and done, we've gotta do a musical together, James. I would love to take a year and just study and do a musical like that. Could you imagine?"
Apparently, they did just that -- though maybe not for a full year. The adorable opening sequence where Corden lured Cruise into the theater was filled with hints and suggestions that Cruise didn't want to be there and was in over his head, but it was clear they'd done their homework. The segments we saw, from their opening walkthrough to the performance of the classic"Hakuna Matata" song, it was clear both men were really giving this performance their all. The audience was shocked and thrilled to recognize them when they came out as Timon and Pumbaa .
The treats didn't end there for the fans at home, though, as Corden and Cruise had a dramatic and emotional falling out minutes after the show, with Corden feeling that Cruise was just going to abandon him for some other late-night host.
