Although there is no official word on the deal’s worth, The Sun reports a seven-figure sum.
Corden, only 32, is still young but reportedly has a great many stories to share.
A friend of the star said he has a lot to say.
Speaking to the Sun, they said: ‘James just said “f*** it”, it was a lot of money and why not? Loads has happened in his life people don’t know about.
‘He spent a lot of time living in New York when he was in the movie The History Boys. They were great times.
‘He might be 32 but there are a lot of stories to tell. He was an actor first and the fame came later.
‘He’s fiercely proud of his family and his humble upbringing and wants to get that across too.’
Other musings in the book may also be about his friendship with David Beckham, his relationship with actress Sheridan Smith and nights out with his former flatmate and History Boys co-star Dominic Cooper.”
The memoir, published by Century (part of the Random House Group), is due out 1 Sept 2011.
