James Corden

The multi-talented James Corden, who is an actor, comedian, singer, writer, producer and television host, always credited the upbringing by his social worker mom and his musician father as the secret to his success. Growing up in Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire with two sisters in what he described as a “glorious family environment,” Corden admitted that he was the quiet one out of the three of them.

Multi-talented actor, comedian, singer, writer, producer and television host James Corden loves to laugh. His father, he shares with HFPA journalist Janet Nepales, was quite funny.

When James Corden first stood in front of an audience, he had a one-line part in the 1996 musical Martin Guerre. Little did that 18-year-old realize how important music was to become in his career.

British stage actor James Corden met up with instantaneous success when he accepted to lead The Late Late Show. His passion for music, karaoke and sing-along got him to land a fantastic spot driving to work and singing with stars like Madonna, Adele, Elton John and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
