In order to get Sir Paul McCartney involved in a Comic Relief sketch, James Corden agreed to name his son after the Beatles star.
When word got out that James Corden’s middle name is Kimberly, he found himself on the receiving end of jokes as a kid.
The unusual moniker has been passed down through the generations, according to the Gavin And Stacey star.
“Literally every man in my family has it, it’s a tradition,” he told Heat magazine.
Why is James Corden middle name Kimberly?
He went to Park Middle School and Holmer Green Upper School in Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire, where he grew up.
He is the younger of two sisters. Corden made his stage debut at the age of 18 in the 1996 musical Martin Guerre, where he had a one-line role.
In 2015, James Corden received an OBE, or Order of the British Empire.
