Kim Cattrall feared dating a younger man would make her seem like Samantha
Kim Cattrall was so desperate to separate herself from her youth-obsessed character on the hit TV show, she initially turned down her current boyfriend’s advances because he was much younger than her.
The 51-year-old actress, who has been dating 29-year-old Canadian chef Alan Wyse since their meeting in 2004, plays maneater Samantha Jones on the hit TV series-turned-movie.
And she admits fears she would become more like her character in real life led her to have second thoughts about pursuing a romance with Wyse.
She explains, “I thought, ‘Am I copying Samantha? This is ridiculous. I can’t be doing this.’”
But Wyse’s persistence paid off. Cattrall adds of her beau, “He just would not take no for an answer and I’m so glad he didn’t.”

Good for her. Age is just a number once people become adults. My husband is over 10 years younger than me and we’ve been happily together for 15 years. If it’s okay for males to date younger women, then the same applies in reverse. It’s all about the personalities of the individuals involved.

She’s 51. He’s 29. Equals: Nice.
