"The one thing you've gotta do is that you need to always do the best you can do, no matter what the given situation, no matter what comes up against you. You do the best you can do, and you never give up. Never quit."
~ James Corden
English actor and comedian, James Corden is known for starring in movies like Into the Woods, Prom, Once Chance, and many more. He is also known as the host of The Late Late Show with James Corden.
It seems James Corden's height is all over the place. In old casting cards, he used to list his height at 5'10" and even at an eye-watering 5'11" -- which is honestly laughable (but would James Corden laugh?).
You never know when to take comedians seriously and when to not, because later Mr. Corden later claimed to be 5'9" as well -- certainly, a more sensible number to describe the height of someone like him, and yet it lefts something to be desired.
That's why we decided to take a careful look at him and compared his height to that of people like Tom Cruise (5'8"), Harry Styles (5'9½"), David Beckham (5'11"), etc, and now we think we have come up with an even more sensible number.
The real height of James Corden is
5'8½" or 174 cm

"My biggest tip is this... treat bread like chocolate. You wouldn't have a chocolate bar in the morning and then a double chocolate bar at lunch and then some chocolate before dinner. I was essentially eating a loaf of bread a day. And that doesn't work for me."
