As if Los Angeles traffic wasn’t frustrating enough.

On Friday, talk show host James Corden hit the city streets for a flash mob in support of his new musical feature Cinderella. The talk show host/comedian was joined by his co-stars Camila Cabello, Billy Porter, and Idina Menzel, all of whom were dressed as their respective characters while singing a cover of Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud.”

Corden, who plays a footman, was filmed in an ill-fitting mouse costume and proceeded to show off his pelvic-thrusting dance skills. Though the promotional stunt was primarily met with lighthearted reactions, a large number of Twitter users have been dragging Corden not only for block traffic, but also subjecting motorists to his air-humping dance moves.

You can read some of the reactions to the promotional stunt below. The Cinderella musical debuts this Friday on Amazon Prime Video.

I just cannot imagine being enough of an extrovert to do this. I think I could be held at gunpoint and my answer would be ‘no, I’m fine actually’ https://t.co/d5vNRvSvKS

You let James Corden get too powerful. Look at us now. Look how far we’ve fallen. Not even God’s light can reach us now. You pierced the veil and let in something that was never meant to be a part of this universe. And he hungers. Nothing will satiate but the end of everything. https://t.co/cLyM5VwRJ6

Is this why people hate theater kids?

This should be legally recognized as a hate crime and an act of terrorism https://t.co/DpVB6AxVsR pic.twitter.com/sBCMRNkVDn
