James Corden Gets Candid About Possibly Moving on From the 'Late Late Show'

James Corden is on the cover of British GQ‘s September 2019 issue, out on August 2.

Here’s what the 40-year-old TV host had to say…

On moving on from the Late Late Show: “The day might come and I might not be brave enough. I’ve got to try to make peace with this idea, that if I walk away from this show, there’s a chance I become a question on Jeopardy. One people struggle to answer.”

On his early career opportunities: “I was learning that if you looked like me, people reckoned you were about right for playing a newsagent in a Hugh Grant movie…nobody was about to pull a seat out at the table and say, ‘come and sit down.’ I was going to have to get to this table and budge people up.”

On being famous: “I’ve only just become comfortable with the notion – I would say in the last 12 months – that, okay, I understand the version of me that people want to meet, and I’ll give them that, and that’s alright. Coz it’s actually harder, it’s more work to be rude and abrupt. And I don’t want to be that ‘Do you mind?’ person.”
