James Corden Biography
James Kimberly Anders Macaulay Corden, born on June 17, 1978, is an English actor, comedian, writer, and producer. He grew up in Hazlemere, a suburb of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire. As a young boy, he studied drama at Jackie Palmer Stage School and later attended Holmer Green Senior School and Misbourne School. Corden did not have a particular interest in academics and did not attend university.
Early Career
Corden's career started with dancing. He searched for dance work for around eight years. As he once said, "I've never had a job, I don't know why. I think it was the best thing that ever happened to me - it was quite useful to learn rejection at an early age. Sometimes I felt awful, but my friends always picked me up." His first role was in the musical "Martin Guerre." He then went on to play the lead role of Jamie Rymer in the British series "Fat Friends" and Garrett Jones in the series "Boyz Unlimited." He also had small roles in the TV show "Teachers" and the comedy show "Little Britain."
Successes and Notable Works
Corden gained recognition for his role as Timms in the original London production of Alan Bennett's play "The History Boys." He reprised this role in the Broadway, Wellington, and Hong Kong productions, as well as in radio and television adaptations. He later became one of the creators and main actors of the comedy series "Gavin & Stacey" on BBC One/BBC Three. He also starred in the comedy "Horne & Corden" on BBC Three and the trash-horror-comedy film "Lesbian Vampire Killers" in 2009.
Personal Life and Other Ventures
Corden has been in a relationship with actress Sheridan Smith. They briefly separated after their relationship became public, but reconciled in July 2008 and have been together since. He currently resides in South London with his friend and co-star from the film "The History Boys," Dominic Cooper. Corden is a football enthusiast and supports West Ham United, often sparking conflicts with his "Gavin & Stacey" co-star Matthew Horne, an avid Tottenham Hotspur fan.
In addition to his acting career, Corden has worked as a voice actor in television commercials for "Orange Mobile," Czech milk products, and advertisements in Saudi Arabia. He has also made appearances on various talk shows and award ceremonies, including "The Paul O'Grady Show" and the Brit Awards.
James Corden's talent and versatility have earned him numerous accolades, including a BAFTA award. He continues to entertain audiences with his comedic performances and is well-known both in the UK and internationally.
