James Corden steps out barefoot in gray sweatpants after joining WW program

On New Years Day, he was unveiled as the new spokesperson for WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers.

And James Corden was seen stepping out barefoot in Los Angeles on Monday, as he stepped out for a brisk walk.

Host Late, Late Show, 42, opted for comfort on the outing as he was wearing a pair of baggy gray jogging bottoms.

James shrugged on a dark blue sweater to avoid the winter chill as he headed for an afternoon stroll.

He was unveiled as the new Ambassador for WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, after becoming ’embarrassed’ with his body.

The TV personality revealed he signed up for the health and fitness program to help change the conversation around wellness.

He said: “I want to change the way I live. I want to be better for my children and for my family. I don’t want to wake up tired or embarrassed when I chase my son around the football field and get short of breath after three minutes.

James joins fellow stars DJ Khaled and Robbie Williams to represent the brand and use the platform to get fit and change their lives.

He has been married to television producer Julia Carey since 2012 and they share Max, nine, Carey, six, and Charlotte, three.

The TV star, who first burst onto TV screens in the scripted series Fat Friends in 2000, said: ‘The weight is not the issue, it’s the well-being that I am ready to tackle. I will take this year and work to be healthy …

“ If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that taking care of yourself should be a priority. I called WW because I absolutely believe they have the tools in place to help me make this change.

James will follow the new myWW + which offers a holistic approach to weight loss and wellness by focusing on the pillars of health that have a measurable impact on success including food, activity, condition of mind and sleep.

James has been outspoken about his weight issues in the past and in 2017 he lost six stones and found major success in Hollywood, but he also admitted that the only food he can’t stop eating is bread.

Speaking of the last time he was’ breadless’ for dietary reasons, James recalled an incident while out at dinner saying: ‘[I have] a kind of battle with food …

“Then they delivered this basket of hot and fresh bread and we were like, ‘It’s happening, we’re doing it. Who are we trying to play? »« He is our sworn enemy, it is to destroy us!

Anna Hill, Managing Director of WW UK, said: ‘We would like to welcome James Corden who has joined the WW family today! …

This announcement is especially special for the UK as this is where his career began and where he remains a much loved and familiar star …

“ We thank James for sharing his story in such an honest and sincere way and for embracing the power of our community to galvanize the country to prioritize its health and make 2021 a more positive year.

James joined WW and began his wellness journey at a critical time for the health and well-being of the nation. A recent WW study indicates that 4 in 10 Britons feel less happy and healthier than a year ago and, like James, 83% “seek help on their wellness journey.”

WW CEO and Chairman Mindy Grossman added: “ James has a unique ability to inspire people with his vulnerability, humility and humor …

“We are more fortunate than ever to have him as our global partner, as he shares his poignant perspective at a time when putting our health first is more important than ever.
