After school, the guy decided to take up journalism and entered the Department of Radio Journalism at the University of Oklahoma. However, after studying for a couple of years, James Marsden fell ill with the acting profession, attended acting courses. The ambitious young man rightly judged that in Los Angeles he had more chances to make a career. James packed his things and moved, then a new period in the young man's biography began.

Marsden is handsome, in demand in the profession, but his personal life is not going the way he would like. The young man married in 2000 Lisa Linda, daughter of the famous singer Dennis Linda. A year after the wedding, she gave birth to a son, Jack, and 4 years later, a daughter, Mary, appeared in the family. In 2011, the wife of James Marsden filed for divorce, the reasons for which the couple did not comment on.

The actor maintains relationships with children, especially closely communicates with his eldest son Jack Holden, who is fond of music and plans to devote his life to this. In 2017, James and Jack appeared at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Journalists noted the great external similarity of the Marsdens. Photos of the young man often appear on James' personal page on Instagram.

It was rumored that the reason for the separation from his wife was the actor's romance with a model named Rose Costa. Indeed, James and the Brazilian Rose met; in December 2012, the girl gave birth to her beloved son, William Luca. But instead of legalizing the relationship, the couple broke up.

In 2014, information appeared in the media that James Marsden was dating the star of the series "The Vampire Diaries" Nina Dobrev. In 2015, James Marsden found a new lover - British top model Sookie Waterhouse, who is 18 years younger than the actor. The new romance did not last long, the lovers soon parted. While the heart of a Hollywood actor is free.

Cinema fans sometimes confuse James with another Hollywood star, Chris Pine. Both indeed have similar facial features, except that Chris is younger and slightly taller. Marsden also outwardly resembles Paul Walker (especially after changing his hairstyle), and critics believe that for the directors he became a kind of replacement for the deceased artist ("Fast and the Furious" star Paul Walker died in a car accident in 2013).

James Marsden was lucky: from the very beginning, his career developed smoothly. Striking appearance, high growth (178 cm with a weight of 75 kg) attracted the attention of the directors of the series "Nanny". The guy was invited to audition for the sitcom, which he successfully passed. The project was a successful start for James. At the age of 21, Marsden has already starred in the comedy "Mow the Lawn!", Where he reincarnated as the son of the main characters, and by the age of 25 he often starred in serial films.
