LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: One of the latest celebrities to talk about Ozempic, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, is James Corden, who admitted to taking the drug to lose weight.

Speaking on his Sirius XM show, the ‘Gavin and Stacey’ star said, as per the Daily Mail, “I tried Ozempic, and it won't be surprising to you when you look at me now, that it didn't really work.”

James Corden reveals his eating has 'nothing to do with being hungry'

Speaking about the drug James Corden shared, “I tried it for a bit and then what I realized was I was like, 'Oh no, nothing about my eating has anything to do with being hungry'. All it does is make you feel not hungry. But I am very rarely eating [just because I’m hungry]."

Corden also elaborated on his binge eating and said, “You are looking at someone who's eaten a king-size, and when I say king-size Dairy Milk - one you give someone for Christmas - in a carwash. None of that was like, oh, I'm so hungry. It is not that, it's something else.”

“But I do feel in myself, it might be time to just stop now and I'm not sure I'm getting great benefits from this now. I think it's time for me personally, I think it's time. I don't think I need a sponsor. I don't think I'm there yet. I'm not,” Corden added.

Earlier this month, Kate Moss’ sister Lottie also opened up about the side effects of taking Ozempic.

She reportedly disclosed on her ‘Dream On with Lottie Moss’ podcast, “This is a warning to anyone: Please, if you're thinking of taking it, do not take it, it's so not worth it. I would rather die any day than take that again. It made me feel so nauseous.”

The 26-year-old model explained, “I think I started at about [132 pounds], and I went down to [125 pounds] with the first dose, then I went down to like [119 pounds]. 

“It was crazy. I think my lowest was [116 pounds]. In terms of a few weeks, that's not a healthy weight loss, and that's not a healthy drop.”

“I felt so sick one day I said to my friend, 'I can't keep any water down, I can't keep any food down, no liquids, nothing. I need to go to hospital, I feel really sick. I literally had a seizure from how dehydrated I was, which honestly was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life,” Lottie added.
