Los Angeles Feb 4 (IANS) British actor writer and comedian James Corden feels homesick.
"The Late Late Show" host who is also the voice of Peter Rabbit in a major new movie that mixes live action and animation may be planning an exit from the US when his chat-show contract ends in 2020. Or so it seems from his interview to Event Magazine reports dailymail.co.uk.
"I m almost certain that we won t live here for ever because... I just don t think we will " he said and added: "This point right now is the only time since we moved here when I ve experienced genuine homesickness."
Isn t Los Angeles a lovely place to live in?
"It was. For a while it s lovely. For a time it s great. With young kids it feels like a really great place to live. But then? I don t know.
"A lot of it is psychological. You think we would be like Ah this is the life and I m unbelievably conscious that this is all great amazing. But at some point - and this is just life - the phone is going to ring and in that instant we re going to feel a million miles away from people who might need us. That s what weighs on my mind " said Corden who has children Max six Carey three and a new daughter Charlotte born in December with wife Julia.
Corden dreads a call from home to say something is wrong.
"That starts to inform your decision when you think about what the future may or may not hold. The money is lovely but time is the only thing that actually exists. It s the only currency you re ever dealing with and all you ve got is this point right now. Time with people time to do stuff - it s the only thing that matters.
Corden flew his parents sisters nieces and nephews over for Christmas at his own expense.
What s it like being a British TV host in Trump s America?
"You ve got to earn the right to be a voice in the conversation. Imagine if some American guy came onto British TV and started talking about post-Brexit Britain. The people of Hull Plymouth Newcastle and Oxfordshire would go What would you know? You didn t grow up here! And don t think that just because you live in London you know what represents Britain.
"In the same way living in Los Angeles is not a reflection of what America is or stands for."
