“I want to talk about birthday plans because I’ve actually come up with a few and we need to compare them.
‘I don’t want any presents. Here’s my thing. I want to do fifty incredible things for fifty, but they have to consist of acts of kindness, physical feats, and probably something like trying foods I’ve never tried before.
‘I would like something like that. We don’t always have to get presents, do we? We can just do things, put beautiful things into the world, that’s better.’
She also opened up about her forgotten real-life romance with Scoop star Rufus Sewell.
The actors famously starred together in The Holiday, where Rufus’ character Jasper left Kate’s character Iris, who was in love with him, heartbroken when he announced his engagement to another woman at Christmas.
However, years before filming the Christmas classic, the pair enjoyed a brief romance after meeting while working together at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the early 1990s.
Kate brought up their past romance when Chris asked if the 48-year-old had yet had a chance to watch Netflix’s Scoop, which stars Rufus as Prince Andrew.
Kate replied: ‘No. But I ran into Gillian Anderson at an event not too long ago, and I asked her about it.

“And Rufus Sewell is so great, you know, I used to go out with Rufus Sewell years ago. Back in the day, a long time ago, I think I was 21 or something.”
Gushing over her former flame, she continued: “He’s so fantastic and to see him take center stage in a way that I don’t think we’ve done on British television for a long, long time, I’m really, I’m really excited to to see what he does.’
Kate and Rufus, 57, dated for three months after her split from her first love Stephen Tredre in 1995, who later died of bone cancer in 1997.
She later said: ‘We are very good friends, but it was never a serious relationship.’
The pair have remained friends ever since and went on to film The Holiday together in 2006.
