James Cordon will marry Sally Hawkins if they’re both single at 35?

The private life of Sally Hawkins has always been just that… i.e. private (as it should definitely be!) so it was with some interest that I read this news on Digitalspy.co.uk (May 13th 2008) by Alex Fletcher entitled “Corden reveals Hawkins marriage deal”:

James Cordon (Rex Pictures)

James Corden has said that he will marry actress Sally Hawkins if they are both still single at 35.

The comedian revealed the pair had struck a deal to ensure that they didn’t end up growing old alone.

“I’ve always had a healthy level of female interest,” Corden told the Daily Record. “In an ideal world I’d marry Sally Hawkins.

“We’ve made a deal that if we’re both single at 35, we’ll have babies and get married.”

Corden co-hosted the BAFTA Craft Awards with the Happy-Go-Lucky star in London last week.

I wonder if Sally Hawkins will ever bring this up in an interview?

And finally, a useful link for those wanting to find out more about the man himself; a link to his Wikipedia entry: James Cordon, which says that he is co-creator of and starrs in the BBC Three comedy Gavin and Stacey.

Apologies for the downtime…

If you did try and visit the site during the past 2 days and found some random page instead of this website, then huge apologies! For whatever reason, although we had renewed the Sally-Hawkins.com domain name on time, the status of the domain on our registrar’s records didn’t make the same smooth transition, so it seemed as though the domain had expired, even though it was still very much alive!

We are now back up and running again, so a big thanks to you for your patience, and to our domain host!

Happy Birthday to Sally Hawkins!

Since we only get to do this once a year, we would like to make a special news post to wish Sally Hawkins

A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This year is definitely turning out to be one of her best! Of course, this is built on all her hard work to date, and her work-rate has been truly astounding, hopefully she will get some time out to rest and enjoy herself before the next big projects come her way!

Thank you to Sally Hawkins for putting in so much thought into her roles, and also for providing us with such great comedy (the likes of Concrete Cow, Ed Reardon’s Week etc.) They really do add to our lives! ^^

With best wishes for a fantastic day and for the rest of the year

Milo (and Coggy!)

Sally Hawkins on BBC Radio 4 “Woman’s Hour” with Jenni Murray, April 16th 2008

Sorry about the slight delay in posting this news! As you can tell from my Twitter updates (see right sidebar) I had started working on this post 4 days ago, but RL became so busy, I never got round to actually finishing it, so apologies for the wait!

As tommo has so beautifully put it, we (the Sally Hawkins fans) are being terribly spoilt at the moment with the deluge of multimedia of interviews featuring Sally Hawkins! More news to come on that, but in the meantime, here’s yet another interview with a different flavour to those from before!

Sally Hawkins won the best actress award at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival for her performance as Poppy in Mike Leigh’s latest film ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’. She talks about her starring role as the chirpy upbeat London primary school teacher who refuses to put a negative spin on life, and why as an actor she is drawn to working with Mike Leigh.

The interview with Jenni Murray, chair of the weekday BBC Radio4 programme Woman’s Hour, had a more serious tone to it, where JM and SH analysed, in particular, Poppy’s character in the film. Having listened to the more light-hearted interviews where SH laughs quite a bit, this interview had a more ‘grounded’ feeling.

This is not to say there weren’t some humorous moments during the interview, because there were (and I laughed with them :D) but I found this interview particularly enjoyable, as they really dissect some of the scenes from the film in a lot more detail. This maybe because they have a longer time for the interview than before (9 minutes) but another plus point is that: one can never underestimate how great it is to listen to two very soothing voices on the radio!

You can catch it the entire interview on the BBC Realplayer by visiting the link below:

As usual we have included the transcript of the interview below the ‘cut’, so feel feel to click on ‘continue reading…’ to read the interview in full. There are a few words I didn’t quite catch, so if you happen to know what they were, please please let us know!
