CORDEN LINED UP FOR SHREK STAGE SHOW

British TV star JAMES CORDEN is slated for the role of SHREK when the hit Broadway musical moves to the U.K.

JAMES CORDEN

The award-winning funnyman, who appears in BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey, is lined-up to play the loveable ogre when Kate Winslet's director husband Sam Mendes takes the show to London's West End next year (09).

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Shrek's a sell-out on Broadway and the producers are after a larger-than-life star for the U.K. transfer. James has everything - great comic timing and a good voice too."
