James Corden auditioned to play Samwise in LORD OF THE RINGS and says he wasn’t good

Director Peter Jackson’S The Lord of the Rings it’s a masterpiece. From the gorgeous cinematography to the flawless casting of beloved characters, it’s no wonder the trilogy was a box office hit and has become a classic for fans. But obviously it took a long time to become the films that hit theaters with critical acclaim.

Actor and show host James Corden recently sat down with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, and was asked if the rumors were true The Lord of the Rings it was one of his first major film auditions. “Yes,” Corden replied, adding that her audition “wasn’t good.”

“Every single person in London auditioned for ‘Lord of the Rings.’ Everyone. I auditioned for Samwise. i was doing it! The accent and all! “Mr. Frodo!” Two of my other friends came in and we all got called back the next day, and then we got called back the next day. And then none of us got called back after that!

When asked if not being able to get the part of Samwise affected his love for movies, Corden joked, “I loved it until the last minute, and then I was like, ‘Oh, okay, I’ve seen that. now – I should have gone to see Current love.”

What a snob! That final film tied it all together and was as good and important as the rest. I think he’s just a sore loser. But he continued to star in his share of big screen debuts, including as In the wood, Ocean’s 8and Cats, the latter being an infamous critical and box office bomb. Corden was the CBS host The Late Late Show since 2015 and will conclude its hosting duties this year.
