That was all the opening Horne needed, and he later starred in several TV series before landing his iconic role in Gavin & Stacey in 2007.
The show took audiences on a rollercoaster ride of love, heartache, friendship, and family drama for three seasons. It even won two Bafta TV awards and one National Television Award.
While Mathew Horne’s salary from the series isn’t revealed, he must have earned pretty well. After Gavin & Stacey ended, he retreated from the spotlight and led a simple life in a Scottish village.
Horne also worked as a DJ for some time and occasionally made red carpet-appearances.
Friends Or Foes: James Corden Shuts Down Rumors About Falling Out With Mathew Horne
The viewers loved the friendship between Gavin (Mathew) and Smithy (James) in Gavin & Stacey. These childhood friends stand by each other’s sides through highs and lows.
But is there bad blood between the actors? Many suspect they had a feud after they stopped working together.
Apparently, James and Mathew collaborated on a comedy skit show and shot their first film, Lesbian Vampire Killers. Both were commercial flops.
Lesbian Vampire Killers, directed by Phil Claydon and starring James Corden, Mathew Horne, Paul McGann, Emer Kenny, Lucy Gaskell, Louise Dylan, Ashley Mulheron, Tiffany Mulheron, Vera Filatova, Silvia Colloca and MyAnna Buring, was released on this day in 2009 (UK) 🎬 pic.twitter.com/UeendOU9UG

Later, Corden moved to the States and began hosting his successful Late Late Show. On the other hand, Horne slowly disappeared from the media.
However, contrary to popular belief, James and Mathew don’t have a bad relationship. They only pursued different endeavors and went solo.
We never fell out, it was never that. We were one person for a long time. If I have one regret, it was we just rushed those things.
In one year we spent 263 days together and we went from that to nothing.
Mathew also clarified he never fell out or had a rift with Corden. They are and will always remain friends.
You can watch these costars this December on BBC One in Gavin & Stacey’s Christmas Special.
