James Corden hits the town with wife Julia Carey and former 'pulling partner' Dominic Cooper... (who introduced the happy couple)

They were once flatmates during their not-so-successful actor days.

And James Corden, 40, and wife Julia Carey, 41, hit the town with his old friend and former 'pulling partner' Dominic Cooper, 40, at the Chiltern Firehouse London on Wednesday.

The boys dressed smart yet casually for their night out, while Julia added the glamour in a sparkly top.

James and Dominic became close while filming the 2006 film, The History Boys and were later roommates.

The former Gavin and Stacey star previously told of going out on the town with Dominic while they were starring in the Broadway production of The History Boys in New York.

He told Playboy Magazine: '[On Broadway] There's a high density of (a) dancers and (b) gay men.

'So if you’re young, straight, English and in the hottest play in New York City, you're gonna get laid. That’s it!

'I’d basically pick up the women Dominic didn’t want, but I was more than happy with that.'

It was Dominic who introduced James to now wife Julia, who was an old school friend of his.

Speaking of their days sharing a flat in London on James' chat show, The Late Late Show, Dominic reminisced on how they would often sleep in the same bed due to the lack of furniture.   

He said: 'We were never there at the same time much, were we? But when we were, there was absolutely no furniture.

'We had a bed, one bed. We only had one piece of cutlery which was a spatula. 

'I remember one depressing evening, he caught me, he came home and I was eating baked beans with the spatula.'

James added: 'We rented it furnished. It had no furniture in it and we never thought to complain.'

Younger days: Of living together, James said: 'We rented it furnished. It had no furniture in it and we never thought to complain'
