Watch James Corden’s parents dance salsa on Calle Ocho and drink with Gronk
Now we know where James Corden gets his humor, talent and spark.
His parental units are a blast, and they’re just like him. Wait, the late night host is just like them.
Malcom and Margeret Corden flew in to Miami to cover the Super Bowl as special correspondents for their 41 year old son’s “The Late Late Show.”
These two covered a lot of ground, despite the fact they look to be in their 70s.
The Cordens did things most celebrity watchers only dream about. Pregame, they attended the press conference for the epic halftime show with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at the Hilton Miami Hotel. The gregarious Brits also got to race a motorized scooter with John Cena; imbibe with a party legend, Rob Gronkowski; and dance salsa with Harry Styles.
A highlight reel of their trip south is hilarious; every encounter is funnier than the next.
The most classic meetup had to be with Cena, who was in town promoting the ninth “Fast & Furious” movie.
“I live my life a quarter mile at a time,” joked the wrestling legend as he embarked on a snail- paced scooter race in a parking lot with Corden’s mom.
“I’m going to wipe the floor with you,” Margaret answered, and she did. Won by a nose.
“Take that, Cena!” yells the TV star’s dad in triumph.
Corden’s parents also stopped by the Ball & Chain bar in Little Havana where Malcolm picked up some salsa moves, which he later tried out on Styles.
“When are you going to settle down?” mom asks the former One Direction star.
“I’m looking,” responded the heartthrob. “It’s hard out there.”
Dad offered to help out Styles on stage later at his concert (which was later canceled due to bad weather).
“If you feel a bit tired,” he said jovially, “I can stand in for you.”
The couple also hit up Gronk Beach, Gronkowski’s mega party, drinking cranberry and vodka. Mom got up on stage and boogied with Gronk.
“We want our own show,” says Malcolm as he walks around with a drink in his hand. “We want our own show.”
Agreed.
