James Corden says he was once going to play the lead role in TheWhale.

James Corden nearly starred in one of the most buzzed-about awards contenders of 2022. Corden recently revealed that he almost played one of the Hobbits in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In more current news, Corden tells Deadline's Peter Hammond that he was once slotted to play the lead role in The Whale. At the time, the film had another director, not Darren Aronofsky, attached to it.

Who stars in The Whale?Rather than Corden, Branden Fraser stars in Aronofsky's The Whale. He plays an obese English teacher trying to reconnect with his daughter. The film required Fraser to wear a suit to make him appear as if he weighed 600 pounds.
