James Cordenjust revealed his dreamCarpool Karaokeguest!
The late-night host, 41, shared onthe Oscarsred carpet Sunday that he would have loved to have the chance to have a car sing-a-long with Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.
Speaking with Lily Aldridge for ABC ahead of presenting an award with Rebel Wilson, Corden said that the rock star — who died in 1991 — would have been the “ultimate” guest.
“So one of my favorite things you do isCarpool Karaoke, and if you have anyone — besides me, of course — dead or alive to be in there with you, who would it be?” Aldridge, 34, asked.
“Oh wow,” Corden responded. “Yeah, I’ve always felt like Freddie Mercury would probably be the ultimate.”
“He’s sort of made for that kind of thing,” theCatsactor continued, adding that there are “so many people” alive that he’d still love sing with.

“That would be amazing,” Aldridge said of Mercury, adding, “The glass might break in the car.”
Of course, Corden has had plenty of huge stars join him forCarpool Karaoke, includingLady Gaga, Adele, Britney Spears,Michelle Obama, and several more.
The late-night host recentlycleared up rumors that he doesn’t actually drive the carduring the popular segment.
“I just want to get ahead of everything and address those rumors and assure you, my audience, that these accusations are not true,” he said onThe Late Late Showlast month.
“I am of course talking about the people saying that I don’t drive the car duringCarpool Karaoke. Now I really hate that I’m about to say this but, fake news,” he continued.
Corden said that he regularly drives the car unless the team feels it would be unsafe.
“Now I know this looks bad,” Corden said of the footage, “but I just want to say right now that I always drive the car unless we are doing something where we think it might not be safe, like, a dance routine or a costume change, or if I’m drunk.”

“But in the case ofJustin Bieber, it was a safety issue where we thought it was best to tow the car. Frankly, I just can’t stop getting lost in his eyes, ok?” he joked, adding, “Look, I’m just shocked that I’ve done something that’s upset people more thanCats.”
