Is James Corden Gay?

For a comic like James who doesn’t take himself too seriously, it is only normal for him to have some gaffes here and there that may lead to some insinuations. At the Emmy’s James was pictured snogging former White House Press Secretary . James later cleared the air. He was also seen kissing his friend in one of his carpool Karaoke videos.

Though these actions have got a few tongues wagging, it is quite obvious he is not gay. If he was, he comes across as someone who wouldn’t hesitate to come open. James has been an open supporter of LGBT.

Weight Loss

One constant theme throughout James Corden’s adult life has been his weight. While he was younger, James starred on the cast of the movie Fat Friends which he co-wrote with co-star Ruth Jones. When James moved to LA he employed the services of a weight loss guru and a nutritional therapist, Amelia Freer, who helped him lose 85 pounds.

Her method with James is now famously called the James Corden weight loss program. The program applies principles of functional medicine. The program doesn’t necessarily aggressively clamp down on food consumption but rather, the classes of food eaten and the time of consumption. James also hired a personal trainer who works with him three times a week.
