film trilogy. For reasons which should be obvious to every human being on God’s green Earth, he did not score the role. The walking L spilled the embarrassing tea on ‘s podcast . If I had to choose how I was feeling after listening to the segment, I’d have to settle on “sad” with just a smidge of “confused”. Horowitz asked Corden if it was true that one of his first auditions was for . The said this was correct. “How did that go, James?” Horowitz queried. “Not good,” Corden responded. Credit where credit’s due, mans didn’t beat around the bush. I understand that the bar is extremely low, but at least he didn’t pretend it was a stunning moment in his acting career. Corden then explained why the audition was such a flop. “Everyone … every single person in London auditioned for ,” he said. “And I auditioned for Samwise and I put myself on tape. This was before everyone had their own camera, so you’d go to this casting place [and] put yourself on tape. “I was doing it, Josh. I was doing the accent and everything.” The bloke then did a truly unnecessary Samwise Gamgee impression and exclaimed, “MR FRODO!!!” as if that eight-legged wench Shelob was about to attack. He continued by saying he actually auditioned for the role with a few mates, and they all received two callbacks. “And then none of us got called back after that,” he said. I am not being facetious when I say you’d have to waterboard that information out of me. There is simply no way I’d willingly explain how I missed out on being cast as Frodo Baggins’ BFFL in . In saying that, I wonder if the trajectory of James Corden’s life would’ve changed if he scored the role of Samwise Gamgee instead of ? Would he have or ? Would he not have ? I have many questions and zero answers. All I know is Corden would’ve had a better shot at being cast as Sauron.
