Kim Cattrall has just given her first extensive interview about all the Sex and the City drama that’s been going around over the years.
Speaking with Variety, the actress, who played Samantha Jones on Sex and the City throughout the HBO series’ run and for the first two movies, candidly addressed a lot of the issues surrounding her with regards to the iconic show.
She explained her reason for turning down the planned third Sex and the City movie:
“It’s a great wisdom to know when enough is enough. I also didn’t want to compromise what the show was to me. The way forward seemed clear.”
She also made one thing clear about the SatC reboot And Just Like That:
“I was never asked to be part of the reboot. I made my feelings clear after the possible third movie, so I found out about it like everyone else did — on social media.”
Kim spoke about the Sex and the City 3 storyline which would have had Miranda’s teen son sending unwanted dick pics to Samantha:
“It’s heartbreaking.”
She said this was what she was hoping to have seen happen in the third film:“I would have preferred for all of us to have some kind of event to warrant a third film. That didn’t happen. But also, I was ready. And this is exactly what I wished for: to be in different places playing different characters because I’m a character actress. And as difficult as it was, and as scary as it is to stand up and not be bullied by the press or the fans or whomever — to just say, I’m good. I’m on this track. It was so great working with you. I so enjoyed it, but I’m over here.”
Kim was asked if she was friends with her co-stars:
“I guess it’s how you define friends. I think we were colleagues. My colleagues aren’t my friends. It was professional.”
And as for the golden question of whether she would ever return to the role of Samantha Jones:
“That’s a no. It’s powerful to say no.
