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

On New Year’s Day, he was revealed as the new spokesperson for WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers.

And James Corden was seen barefoot in Los Angeles on Monday while taking a short walk.

The 42-year-old host of the Late, Late Show opted for comfort on the outing as he wore loose-fitting gray sweatpants.

James shrugged on a dark blue sweater to keep out the cold winter as he set out for an afternoon walk.

He was revealed as the new ambassador for WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, after becoming ‘shamed’ about his body.

The TV personality revealed that he has signed up for the health and fitness program to 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 ashamed when I chase my son on the football field after three minutes and feel out of breath. ‘

James joins fellow stars DJ Khaled and Robbie Williams to represent the brand and use the platform to get in shape 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 appeared on TV screens in 2000 on the scripted series Fat Friends, said, “ Weight isn’t the problem, it’s well-being that I want to address. I’m going to work this year to get healthy …

‘If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that taking care of yourself should be a priority. I called WW because I absolutely believe they have the tools 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: nutrition, activity, mindset and sleep.

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

Speaking of the last time he had ‘no bread’ for dietary reasons, James recalled an incident while he was eating and said, ”[I have] kind of a struggle with food …

“Then they delivered this basket of warm, fresh bread and we said, ‘It’s happening, we’ll do it. Who are we trying to fool?” “It’s our nemesis, it’s out to destroy us!”

Anna Hill, WW UK General Manager said: “We would like to extend a warm welcome to James Corden, who has joined the WW family today! …

This announcement is particularly special for the UK as it is where his career began and remains a much loved and well-known star …

We thank James for sharing his story in such an honest and heartfelt way and embracing the power of our community to encourage the nation to put their health first and make 2021 a more positive year.

James joined WW and began his wellness journey at a critical time for the health and wellness of the country. A recent WW survey shows that 4 in 10 Britons feel less happy and healthy than a year ago and, like James, ‘83% look for help with their wellness journey’.

Mindy Grossman, CEO and President of WW, added: “ James has the distinctive ability to inspire people through his vulnerability, his humility and his humor …

“We are fortunate that he is our global partner as he shares his poignant perspective at a time when it is more important than ever to prioritize our health.”
