The awards show airs Sunday, Sept. 18 on ABC. However, success never always came easy for James Corden whose weight was a major obstacle in his career.
Corden credits his healthy diet and exercise routine to an 85-pound weight loss program.
The charming James Corden infused new energy and ideas into The Late Late Show after replacing Craig Ferguson two years ago. The Late Late Show is now a combination variety show and talk show, where Corden has decided to ditch the traditional talk show desk in favor of sitting up close and personal with his guests.
James Corden has dealt with weight fluctuations since his 20’s, especially when he got his big break on the hit BBC show Gavin and Stacey from 2007 to 2010.
It was always quite the obstacle for Corden when it came to securing the on-screen roles he really wanted. When Corden starred in the TV drama Fat Friends from 2000 to 2005, he weighed in at over 300 pounds.
Corden says he would sometimes audition twice a month and fail to get the role he wanted, which felt demoralizing. While Corden’s weight has gone up and down over the years, he has managed to lose 85 pounds, and now weighs in at 210 pounds.
