James Corden opened up about his recent, last-minute eye surgery when he visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday. The Late Late Showhost had to cancel some remote tapings of his show last month after he had to undergo "minor surgery," as he explained at the time on Instagram.
Corden briefly addressed his absence when he returned the following week. But on Wednesday's Ellen, Corden explained more about the injury that caused him to seek medical attention and what it was like to have the procedure.
Corden said that he injured his eye years ago while performing in a play in New York. "I used to do this bit in the play where I'd hit myself in the head with a trashcan lid and one night during the play I injured my eye.
