James Corden on his Weight Loss Journey

The Prom actor, who recently scored a Golden Globe nomination for the film said that as a man, it is historically seen as 'not sexy' to reveal that you are on a diet. Corden revealed to Oprah that he would like to be a healthier presence for his family and kids. Corden has partnered with WW, which was formerly known as Weight Watchers, a program that replaced Oprah Winfrey's Life In Focus tour amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Corden revealed that the past five weeks of his weight loss journey were transformative.

He also praised the efforts of his wife Julia in his weight loss journey. He said, "My wife has been incredible with this. With my whole journey with food, she's been really, really amazing with me, and I've really found this past five weeks that I’m on a start of a journey that I’m determined to finish, and I feel that I can." He continued, “As soon as you open yourself up to people and say, 'This is how I'm feeling and I think I might be struggling with this,' you will be met with a wave of people going, 'How can I help?'

Oprah Winfrey's WW episode also featured Jennifer Garner, singer Ciara and Kim Wheatley in the live stream. Winfrey also offered her own advice to James Corden by saying "Realizing that you are worthy of putting yourself back on your list is a profound expression of being the love you need." Oprah added that by putting an emphasis on love and nurturing, Weight Watchers teaches its members to treat themselves with compassion and having 'reverence' for yourself. 

Cordon stated that he wants to get healthier for his family, especially setting an example for his kids Max (9), daughters Carey (6) and Charlotte (3).  In a WW press release, he said he wants to change the way he lives and become better for his children and his family. He added he doesn't want to feel 'embarrassed' while he's out of breath, chasing his son down on the hockey field. He further added that the weight wasn't the issue but he's ready to tackle the wellness issue.
