On Monday night's episode of The Late Late Show, host James Corden and guest Jeff Goldblum face off in a heated rap battle.

During the battle, Goldblum roasted Corden's appearance in the 'Cats' movie trailer with his rap, saying, "I saw the Cats trailer, and quickly noticed you, you were the weirdest part of it it, and that's hard to do. Seeing you as a cat was completely unnerving but how you look in real life is show more disturbing."
