New York restaurateur Keith McNally regrets attacking James Corden, says 'I don't like to be forced to enjoy myself'

Time of India20-07-2025
Keith McNally, the renowned restaurant owner who's made a name for himself in New York City's culinary scene, is currently promoting his upcoming memoir 'I Regret Almost Everything.'
As part of his promotional efforts, McNally did an interview with CBS News, where he spoke about his various life struggles, including a debilitating stroke that struck him in 2016 and left him temporarily paralyzed, as well as permanently affecting his speech.
McNally also spoke of his infamous Instagram feud with James Corden, expressing some regret over it, and revealed that he resented New Year's Eve because, as he put it, "I don't like to be forced to enjoy myself."
Keith McNally reflects on beef with James Corden
Among the things McNally reminisced on was his publicly putting James Corden on blast on Instagram during October 2022, where he accused Corden for misbehaving with his staff after getting a wrong order.
Corden was banned from McNally's restaurants for a while as a consequence, but Keith has expressed some level of regret at publicly putting him on blast, stating that he himself had become self-conscious about public humiliation as a result of his stroke, and felt that he'd unwittingly subjected James Corden to something similar.
Keith McNally also opened up about an especially dark time in his life when he was struggling to recover from his stroke.
Having struggled with the paralysis of his dominant right hand and a persistent speech impediment, McNally eventually attempted suicide two years after his stroke. He was saved by his younger son, George, who woke up earlier than usual and saved his father's life. Keith then revealed that his doctor told him about how children are far more likely to attempt suicide if their parents died by suicide, something that has stuck with him since.
Keith McNally comes from humble beginnings
Keith McNally hails from a modest, working class background. He was one among four children of Jack, a dockworker, and Joyce, a house and office cleaner. McNally reflected on the difficult upbringing he had due to his working class roots:
"I got angry inside at my parents. because we had no books in the house, no pictures on the walls. But they couldn't help it. They were working class who grew up with nothing."
Keith McNally's 'I Regret Almost Everything' will be published by Simon and Schuster.

Watch: Adorable Baby Elephant Gives Squishy Hugs To Humans, Melts Internet

The internet is full of heartwarming videos where baby elephants charm everyone with their innocence and curiosity. Adding to the collection, a delightful new clip is winning hearts online. Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the @amazingnature account, the video shows an adorable baby elephant interacting with a man and a woman. In the now-viral video clip, the baby elephant can be seen sneaking up behind two people who are sitting in what appears to be a field. As they turn around, the young elephant puts its trunk on them. Afterwards, the elephant puts its front two legs on the shoulder of the man and gives him a squishy hug. Both the man and the woman can be heard laughing as the baby elephant, oblivious of its weight, continues with the warm hug. "Baby elephants think humans are so cute and want to hug us," the video was captioned. As of the last update, the video had garnered over one million views and hundreds of comments, as social media users melted over the cuteness of the baby elephant. "It's so cute how the baby elephant does not have any clue how big it is," said one user, while another added: "Do baby elephants realise how gigantic they are? A third commented: "They are like toddlers in giant bodies. That trunk hug is everything." A fourth said: "Just when I thought today was awful, this video came along and healed my heart."
