FROM Adele to Prince Harry, Joe Biden to Michelle Obama and Tom Cruise to Paul McCartney, James Corden’s little black book reads like a Who’s Who of Hollywood.
During an exclusive interview with The Celeb Report, 44-year-old James‘ phone beeped with a message.
James is firm pals with Prince Harry
And it’s been revealed just what the royal is saved as in James’ phone
The screen read “Harry New” – it was his mate in Montecito, Prince Harry.
As he jokingly snatched his phone away, James said: “Oh God, wouldn’t you just love to see these.”
James is preparing to return to the UK after eight years in America hosting The Late Late Show.
On Thursday millions will tune in to see the Bafta and Tony-winning actor front his 1,200th show – his last.
James has been credited with single-handedly revolutionising late night telly thanks to segments including Carpool Karaoke, Crosswalk the Musical as well as death-defying stunts alongside A-listers and heartfelt monologues to camera.
By cleverly editing and posting brilliant clips online – he’s sky-dived with Cruise, sung behind the wheel of a car with Macca, One Direction, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber, and posed in his underpants beside David Beckham – he’s made linear television relevant in an increasingly streaming-only age.
So, given his job of regularly rubbing shoulders with the A-list, how “normal” is James really?
“Of course I’m normal – it would be really, really silly for me not to be,” he insisted.
“You need to make a choice, you have to remain a person. I still supermarket shop and I love a potter around on a Sunday.
“I don’t know what there is to be afraid of because people are so lovely. Every facet of my life is like a picnic.
“Every single inch of my last eight years has been amazing – I just feel so incredibly lucky.”
The final Late Late Show with James Corden airs in the UK Friday at 10:15pm
