In an appearance alongside her [_Wrinkle in Time_](http://time.com/wrinkle-in-time/) co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling on [_The Late Late Show with James Corden_](http://time.com/4874242/carpool-karaoke-usher/), Oprah revealed that bathing is her favorite hobby, so much so that she has a hand-carved tub made out of marble and onyx. As if that wasn’t luxurious enough, Oprah also divulged that the tub is custom made to accommodate the shape of her body, something that elicited a mixture of awe and envy from Corden, Witherspoon and Kaling. In fact, the tub’s existence became a sort of motivational point for Corden, who declared that his measure of success in his career would now be getting a tub like Oprah’s. “That’s the dream,” he said. “That’s all I’m really living for, that’s all I’m really working for from this point on.” Oprah, however, didn’t understand why everyone was so surprised she had a hand-carved tub. “I told you — bathing, I’m _serious_ about it.” Watch the full clip below.
