James Corden has explained why he found it "very freeing" working on Peter Rabbit 2, which has finally hopped into UK cinemas.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Corden said that while it wasn't "easier" doing voice work compared to live-action, it did allow for a wider scope of improvisation than he would normally get in other acting roles.

"You've got countless times to do it and try it. The hardest thing when you're filming anything, even us doing this now, is time. Time is the greatest pressure," he noted.

"I think I've recorded Peter Rabbit 2 from start to finish, the whole movie, maybe eight to ten times and in moments of that, doing ten reads of individual lines. Then it's up to Will [Gluck] to pick how he wants the character to sound and feel.

"It feels very freeing and also you don't have to worry about that curry you ate at the weekend where you might have put on four pounds and it's showing on your face, it doesn't matter. You can turn up in your pyjamas and it's fine."
