James Corden's star keeps rising as he heads for the US

The profile of British actor James Corden is rising.

The former star of Gavin & Stacey is currently starring with Keira Knightley in the new romantic comedy Begin Again, having earlier in the year played the lead in One Chance, a biopic about the winner of the TV show Britain's Got Talent.

Corden is expected to reach a big audience at the end of the year when he will be seen co-starring in the Disney adaptation of the musical Into The Woods, in an ensemble cast which includes Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.
