He is your man who wears many hats – a comedian, an award-winning actor, a theater artist, singer, writer, host with master-strokes, producer. James Corden is a Brit, but has his presence both in the island country and the States.
A chance TV appearance on a show in his teens helped him to find his calling in the entertainment industry. He soon started training for shows and giving auditions. Along this journey of transformation, he developed a knack for taking digs at his own body weight – a sore subject and a major cause of childhood bullying that troubled him in his growing up years and turned him distant. As he matured in years, he discovered this new side that was able to take body-shaming in a positive and brighter light and with ample doses of humor.
There was no looking back for young Corden, and he has been at the top of his game ever since. However, things have not always been all sunshine with no rain – in fact, Corden has had his fair share of rainy days where the English tabloids virtually wrote him off as hurriedly as they had once dubbed him as the ‘next big thing’ in England! But his comic timing was too good to be missed. He had a massive start with the American late-night show “The Late Late Show”, and has been successfully hosting it over the years since 2015. He engages his audience in an unconventional way that makes him a star extraordinaire!
What if you had a chance to see Corden in flesh and blood, or hear back from him on his social media pages? Here we list out the top three ways to get in touch with our Corden guy.
Through PR Manager and Publicist
Corden’s PR manager/agency/publicist are the go-to people if you must rope him in for commercial opportunities/contracts, upcoming projects, interviews, product endorsements, grand events for public appearances, et al. If he has both agents and management, you need not keep running from one to the other. But before taking things further, you must ensure if you can afford Corden and if he is within your budget. Run an in-depth research here, and collect more information.
Whatever be your reason, your first job is to get hold of a genuine, official email ID of one of his reps in the team, and let them know your purpose. Sending goodie hampers may be an unofficial way of breaking the ice with them, but this might not always be the best one as everyone is not happy receiving surprise gifts. So you might as well tread carefully here.
Corden’s PR team and publicist are in charge of handling his commercial dealings. To get him hitched for your event, you will have to try all means to reach out to his representatives first. They will be in a position to consult his calendar for appointments and bookings, will inform you about his charges, whether he would be interested in taking up the project, etc., but all of this will take time to shape up. Typically – the busier and more popular a celebrity is, the longer the wait. Moreover, things do not end with confirmation – expect several rounds of negotiation with his agent over pricing (as with any other celeb) before the final nod.
Connect via Social Media
Though it might be a challenge to obtain a celebrity’s official email ID and phone number, they are always reachable on their social media pages. Gone are the days when you had to wait for days on end for your screen God or Goddess to make an appearance, or to reply to a fan query or mail – social media is instant! And the good thing is that it allows your favorite stars to connect with you more authentically. Emotions are real and upfront!
Social media is a ready medium for fans to stay up-to-date with everything about their star. As for the celebrity, they can fill their public profiles with all relevant details of their latest outings sans attending events or gatherings. It is an opportunity for celebs to show their fans their real side and connect with them like ordinary people, rather than someone who is beyond reach. Remember, however, that they are inundated with loads of messages on social media.
When you try to connect with James Corden on either one of his social media pages, chances are less that you will find him reply to all or any of his fan messages, reactions, and feedback. In fact, chances that your message will even get noticed are rather small. This is not to dissuade you in any way, but to share the facts with you. Please find the links to James Corden’s official social media pages here – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube for The Late Late Show.
Fan Mails Do Work
Now, you are neither a journo seeking an interview, nor an entrepreneur with a business proposal/contract, but a star fan. You are a great admirer of Corden’s comic timing, and have been religiously following him up on all his social media pages, tv shows, films, etc. You would do anything to hear back from his team, or at least if they oblige you with a signed photo of the star. We suggest you drop a self-addressed stamped envelope bearing the following address –
James Corden
Sue Terry Voices (Talent Agency)
4th Floor
35 Great Marlborough Street
London W1F 7JF, UK
Patience is a virtue. You must wait for at least three months to hear back from someone from his team, and with your request granted – Corden’s signed photo/poster!
Fan mails are a great way of showing your support and admiration for a celebrity. To many, it may sound a tad old-school but it still is a thing today, and retains its charm as celebrities appreciate personal touch over anything that is virtual and superficial.
We wish you good luck, no matter which of the above you choose to connect with James Corden and his team.
