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.”

The Sex and the City film hasn’t even premiered in New York City yet (it will tonight!), but Kim Cattrall is already looking toward the future.

“It was a blast to make and I hope we get to come back and make another,” Kim tells Extra.

While there hasn’t been a confirmation on a sequel, some of her co-stars are anticipating one, including Chris Noth.

“I imagine if it made a lot of money, they’d want one,” he said in March. “I don’t know where Sarah [Jessica Parker] stands on that,” he says. “It’s sort of up to her. I’m just riding her coattails!”

The movie opens this Friday, culminating months of press and promotion for Kim, Sarah, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. But it’s not like the 51-year-old minded any of it.

“Last night, I got about three hours of sleep, but it’s also euphoria because it’s been so well received,” Kim says. “The audience is so happy to see the girls back.”

The cast of Sex and the City: The Movie were rocked by a security scare while they were visiting London to promote the new film – when a man sneaked into Kim Cattrall’s hotel suite.

Cattrall was conducting a press junket at the city’s prestigious Claridge’s Hotel along with castmates Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis when a crazed fan, posing as a foreign journalist, reportedly sneaked past security.

The man managed to get through several security checks to access the floor where all four actresses were staying. He then found his way into Cattrall’s room, where he is said to have cornered her alone – frightening the actress with his “erratic behavior”.

A source tells London newspaper Metro, “He was alone in a room with Kim Cattrall and began pestering her for autographs. She was very flustered, and it was lucky someone walked in and spotted him as his behaviour was getting more and more erratic.

“Hotel staff ordered him to leave but he didn’t go quietly. They bundled him out as quietly as possible but Kim was pretty frightened. The other girls found out what had happened and were also freaked out. But they’re old pros and they didn’t let it affect their schedules.”

Kim Cattrall dreaded returning to the set of Sex & the City for the TV show’s movie adaptation – because she feared that, at 50, she wouldn’t be sexy enough.

The 51-year-old actress was blamed for causing delays in the movie version of the hit TV series, reportedly demanding more money and creative control over the project.

But Cattrall admits it was, in fact, her lack of confidence as an aging Hollywood star that prevented her from immediately signing on to the project.

She needed reassurances from director Michael Patrick King before signing on to play sex siren Samantha Jones again.

She says, “I was quite nervous because it had been four years and I had turned 50. We did camera tests because all of us (cast) have aged. I worried about being sexy enough again. I said to Michael, `How can we do this? I want to look great and not feel self-conscious.’ And he always said, `We are going to take care of you.’”

The mother of Sex & The City star Kim Cattrall loves her daughter’s racy role in the hit show – because she “looks fabulous” on-screen.

The star is famed for her portrayal of maneater Samantha Jones in the beloved series, and returns to the character in the upcoming big-screen extravaganza, Sex And The City: The Movie.

And the 51-year-old is comfortable showing her sexual side on-screen – and has the support of her adoring mum Shane, who thinks her daughter is an inspiration for older women everywhere.

She says, “Kim is a role model for 50-something women. Much has been made about her nudity in the film, but I think she looks fabulous.”

And proud mom Shane, 79, insists people who criticise Cattrall’s on-screen antics are just jealous of her well-preserved body.
She adds, “Anyone who knocks that is jealous. All this fuss about a bit of nudity is ridiculous.”
