James continued that he has asked his digital team to look into it and they revealed that on average, the show has been getting over 300 YouTube comments per week about me kidnapping One Direction. He went on and said the more people ask him to do it, the less likely it is that he will do it.
The late-night show host said, “You’re ruining the element of surprise and surprise is a major factor when kidnapping someone. In the history of kidnapping, I don’t think any of them have originated from a fan account relentlessly suggesting that a crime take place, and it is a crime.”
James added nothing would give him more pleasure than to bring the boys together. He said he loves them with all of his heart but he cannot commit a crime. The host also says he feels honored to be the person fans want, to bring the band back together.
