When James Corden relocated to the UK after eight years as Hollywood's golden boy, he must surely have expected a huge fanfare. After all, with a high profile television career at the helm of The Late Late Show, one of America's most prestigious nightly chat-shows, he had achieved an enviable level of fame in the US that few other Brits have managed.
There have been no public announcements of projects in the pipeline, except for a role voicing a character in next summer's animated The Smurfs Movie. And sources say he has also been reluctant to replicate his Stateside career and front a chat-show here – because it's 'too much work'. 'Nothing materialised apart from an impressive, yet short, stint at a London theatre, which has been baffling for the television industry.
Whether that will open doors for him in the longer term is unclear. But Corden is said to have 'really enjoyed' his time back at work when the episode began recording in September and appeared to be on the charm offensive. Sources say their relationship hasn't improved, disclosing that while they both stayed in suites at the five-star Parkgate Hotel in Cardiff during filming the Christmas special, they didn't socialise.
