James Corden plays doting dad as he enjoys quality time with wife Julia and his children... days after receiving OBE
His new role helped him crack America, but on Wednesday James Corden’s growing fame was brushed aside in favour of quality time with his loved ones.
The 36-year-old, who was awarded the OBE during an appointment with Princess Anne last week, was joined by wife Julia and their two children, son Max , four, and eight-month-old daughter Carey, for a day out at a local family park.
On another roasting day in the capital funny-man Corden sported a T-shirt and shorts as he cradled his youngest child while Julia, leading the way, steered Max in his sister’s pushchair.

Clearly feeling the heat, the gang kept themselves refreshed by purchasing ice-lollies as they casually strolled with a female pal.
Julia, 35, opted for a seasonal ensemble on the day, catching the eye in a summer-ready floral print dress and strappy sandals.
She and James later traded places, with the Gavin and Stacey co-creator taking pushchair duty while Julia nursed Carey – who stayed cool beneath the shade of a wide brimmed pink hat.

James has taken America by storm after succeeding Craig Ferguson has host of the hugely popular Late, Late Show.
However the affable host has been accused of borrowing material from other chat shows - amongst them NBC rival The Tonight Show, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
‘So many of their bits are just warmed-over versions of things that have already been done,’ claimed one TV executive. ‘You gotta beat people to the punch or scrap it.’

The same executive alleges that Corden’s musical skits, which include dancing with guests, are also elements of The Tonight Show that Fallon has made virtually his own.
Regardless, the actor and presenter is on a high after being awarded the Order of the British Empire in June.
He described the honour as 'wonderful' but said he felt rather unworthy of it.
'It's overwhelming to come back from Los Angeles,' he said. 'And then be stood in Buckingham Palace receiving such a thing. I feel very undeserved but grateful nonetheless.'
