HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HONOR BlACKMAN, 93. The actress, who played Pussy Galore (pictured) in the James Bond film Goldfinger, said Sean Connery was ‘the sexiest creature I ever met’, but nothing happened ‘because I was married’. With Connery knighted and living as a tax exile in the Bahamas, Blackman, a republican who turned down a CBE, says she now disapproves of the 007 star ‘because I don’t think you should accept a title from a country and then pay no tax towards it’. JAMES CORDEN, 40. The British co-creator of Gavin & Stacey, who has his own chat show in the U.S., was a compere at Harry and Meghan’s wedding reception, and turned up dressed as Henry VIII, saying he ‘didn’t know what to wear to a royal wedding’. Corden is celebrating his milestone birthday in Mexico with friends, including pop star Harry Styles.
