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 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.
