'Sex and The City' star Kim Cattrall says it has taken a lifetime of weight watching and exercise to look as good as she does at 56.
The actress has opened up about working hard to keep her figure and playing a sex siren in her fifties, reported Daily Mirrror.
The actress, who played Samantha Jones in 'Sex And The City', said, "I joke that I have been on a diet since 1974, which is basically true. I like to eat, and my body type is not naturally this thin, especially at this age. I have a big appetite."
But she hopes that working out every other day and minimising stress will allow her to keep playing sexy characters as a sexagenarian.
The actress, who has spent a lot of her career stripping off, also said, "When I hit my 40s I thought, 'I can't play a sexy siren any more.' Almost 20 years later, it is still going on."
Kim, who will star at London's Old Vic in Sweet Birth Of Youth from June, split from Canadian chef Alan Wyse in 2009.
