I had to bully my way to the top because I'm working class says James Corden

HIS rise to fame and fortune may have seemed effortless, but James Corden says he had to “bully” his way to the top due to his working-class background.

The Gavin & Stacey favourite and host of America’s The Late Late Show says people from humble beginnings feel society wants to limit their potential.

He said: “If you’re from a working- class environment, you’re not bred for success. The talent is everywhere, and opportunity isn’t.

“I didn’t realise until I met my wife that she did, I think, 13 GCSEs and I did six. And the most you could do at my school was seven.

“You’re kind of capped. You’re not really told that these things are ­possible. No one’s going to wait to invite you to the table.”
