James Corden, now a global TV icon, started his career in the late ‘90s playing a school janitor named Wayne Clark on the UK soap Hollyoaks — a role he hated so much he turned down a £70k offer to stay longer. He called it “hell on earth,” even refusing to film a scene with junk food posters in his character’s room. His 18-episode stint, filled with drama and car washes, is now a surprising footnote for fans who didn’t know he ever starred in a British soap — and Corden himself prefers to keep it buried. From janitor to late-night king? That’s one wild ride.
