Shirtless James Corden unwinds with wife Julia Carey aboard a sprawling mega-yacht as couple holiday in Portofino ahead of his return to Broadway
James Corden was a long way from Barry Island on Monday as he relaxed with wife Julia Carey aboard a sprawling yacht on the Italian Riviera. The Gavin & Stacey star appeared to be enjoying a late spring break with Julia and a group of friends in picturesque Portofino - a popular holiday destination for the rich and affluent. Peeling off his shirt, Corden, 46, made the most of soaring coastal temperatures while unwinding on the chartered mega-yacht as it cruised the Mediterranean. Joining her husband, Julia, 49, caught the eye in a plunging white swimsuit as they idled on the boat's top deck. The couple were unwinding in Italy as Corden prepares to to make his return to Broadway this summer.

He will star as Serge in a new production of ART, Yasmina Reza's comedy about friendship, ego and modern art. The limited 17-week run from August through December marks a much-anticipated return to the stage for Corden, who won a Tony Award for his performance in One Man, Two Guvnors in 2012. He will star opposite How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris and Jumanji's Bobby Cannavale. American theatre director Scott Ellis is set to helm the production. Ellis's past credits include Pirates! (or, Gilbert and Sullivan Plunder'd), English, and A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical. The role will mean extended time away from his family. Corden who lives in the UK with his wife Julia Carey, 48, and their three children, Max, 13, Carey, 10, and Charlotte, 7, will spend several weeks in New York for rehearsals ahead of the official run. A theatre insider told MailOnline: 'It's exciting to see James Corden return to the stage in ART - even if only for 90 minutes a night. 'While his recent turn in The Constituent at the Old Vic was somewhat underwhelming, this new production is sure to be one of Broadway's hottest tickets.' Corden was enjoying his latest overseas break as he prepares to to make his return to Broadway this summer ART, originally written in French and translated by Christopher Hampton, premiered in Paris in 1994 before transferring to London's West End and then Broadway, winning the Olivier, Tony, and Molière Awards for Best Play. The story centres on three friends - Serge, Marc, and Yvan - whose relationships are tested when Serge buys an expensive, entirely white painting. The play explores themes of taste, loyalty, and the fragile nature of male friendship. The news comes as The Mail on Sunday revealed that Corden - who spent eight years in Los Angeles hosting The Late Late Show before relocating to the UK last year - is now said to be weighing up a run for Mayor of London. Corden, who cemented himself as a household name playing Smithy in Gavin & Stacey, has been vocal about his political views but has always stopped shy of taking it further. However, at the BAFTA television awards, Corden was introduced to the hosts of the Electoral Dysfunction podcast and revealed his latest ambitions to Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby, former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman and former Scottish Conservatives leader Ruth Davidson. An onlooker said: 'James told them he was a regular listener to their podcast and how much he enjoys the cut and thrust of politics. 'He clearly has a lot of respect for those who put themselves out there and run for office. 'And it was suggested that he should step into the political arena and stand in the future. There was talk that he should run for Mayor of London.' The current mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, was first elected in 2016 and won a third term last year. Corden's representatives have been contacted for comment.

James Corden's neighbours criticise plans for ‘eyesore' garden room
James Corden's neighbours have criticised plans for a 'garden room' outside his £11.5 million mansion. The Gavin and Stacey star, 46, moved back to the UK last year with his wife, Julia Carey, and their three children: Max, 13, Carey, 10, and Charlotte, seven. But the family's neighbours in north-west London have issued 18 complaints over plans to construct an outbuilding in the garden, the MailOnline reported. One neighbour pointed out that a member of the family regularly played the drums, 'which can often be heard on my terrace and occasionally inside my flat even with the windows closed'. They added: 'What happens if they decide to move the drum kit out of the house and put it in the den?' The new, proposed garden room would be the size of a one-bedroom flat, complete with an office space, gym, pool and sauna, kitchen and terrace. Beyond complaints over noise, locals have raised concerns over the surrounding trees' welfare, commissioning a report into the project's impact on them. Corden's application claimed that no tree would be affected but the report's expert disagreed, saying it was 'very likely that 'retained' trees will suffer and/or be removed'. Neighbours have also taken issue with the impact on garden views. A resident said that an 'ugly outlook' would be a 'loss' and another said the building risked becoming 'an eyesore'. One said the plans were 'totally unreasonable'. Another neighbour complained that the outbuilding would be set just one metre away from their 'neighbour's boundaries'. The TV presenter returned to the UK late last year after his eight-year tenure at The Late Late Show in the US. The family also own a home in Oxfordshire, which is being renovated into an £8 million mansion. The Cordens received approval to demolish a 1960s house on the site after a year, following objections from the local council and English Heritage.
