Kim Cattrall is opening up about her life post-Samantha Jones.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSex and the City\u201d alum, 69, admitted that \u201cevery day is a little bit different\u201d since wrapping the hit HBO series more than 20 years ago during an interview with People<\/a> published Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a home on Vancouver Island, which is my hideaway and basically my paradise because I\u2019m right in the middle of nature,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones in \u201cSex and the City.\u201d Getty Images<\/p>\n Cattrall during Paris Fashion Week in Paris, France, on March 7, 2025.

It\u2019s more solitary, just me and my partner,\u201d Cattrall, who has been dating Russell Thomas<\/a> since 2016, added.<\/p>\n However, Vancouver Island isn\u2019t the only place the \u201cPolice Academy\u201d alum has retreated to since \u201cSex and the City\u201d ended. She regularly visits England and the Big Apple as well.<\/p>\n \u201cI also spend time in London, which is a great deal of where I\u2019ve been the last 15, 20 years,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd then there\u2019s New York City, which will always be in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n Cattrall at the Dorchester Hotel in London, England, on Dec. 1, 2024.

Jed Cullen\/Dave Benett\/Getty Images for Burberry<\/p>\n As for her career, Cattrall admitted that she now spends more time focusing on herself rather than any one particular role.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it defines me less,\u201d she explained. \u201cKim has taken over, and not the characters she\u2019s played, in a very definite way. The last 10 years have been more about exploring me, not connected to my work, but my own choices.\u201d<\/p>\n Cattrall starred in \u201cSex and the City\u201d<\/a> alongside Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) from its premiere in 1998 to its finale in 2004.<\/p>\n Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Cattrall in a promo for \u201cSex and the City.\u201d Getty Images<\/p>\n Willie Garson, Parker, Davis, Cattrall and Nixon during Season 3 of \u201cSex and the City.\u201d Getty Images<\/p>\n Nixon, Parker, Cattrall and Davis in \u201cSex and the City 2\u201d (2010). \u00a9Warner Bros\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/p>\n Although she returned to star in both \u201cSex and the City\u201d films in 2008 and 2010, Cattrall did not reprise her role in the recently ended \u201cAnd Just Like That\u201d<\/a> except for a brief cameo during the spinoff\u2019s<\/a> Season 2 finale.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember in particular, doing that series, people wanted to speak to the character as opposed to me because she was fascinating, wonderful, smart and intelligent, and sexy and irreverent and all of those wonderful things that we could be,\u201d Cattrall said of her role as the sex-positive\u00a0public relations boss Samantha Jones. <\/p>\n Cattrall as Samantha Jones during Season 3 of \u201cSex and the City.\u201d Getty Images<\/p>\n Cattrall as Samantha Jones in \u201cSex and the City\u201d (2008). \u00a9New Line Cinema\/courtesy Everett \/ Everett Collection<\/p>\n Cattrall as Samantha Jones in \u201cSex and the City 2\u201d (2010). \u00a9Warner Bros\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/p>\n \u201cBut she wasn\u2019t me,\u201d Cattrall added.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the \u201cMannequin\u201d star is still acting after the \u201cSex and the City\u201d franchise has ended \u2013 even if she does have a few conditions before signing on for new projects.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all about the writing. I don\u2019t want to be on a set and realize that the character I\u2019m playing is a character that I\u2019ve already played many, many times before,\u201d Cattrall explained. <\/p>\n Cattrall at the Dover in London, England, on Sept. 15, 2025.

Jed Cullen\/Dave Benett\/Getty Images for Burberry<\/p>\n \u201cI can take elements of those characters that I\u2019ve played before and make them part of me \u2013 part of my imagination \u2013 as I play this new character,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n The \u201cPorky\u2019s\u201d actress went on to tease two new roles she is currently working on, although she remained hush-hush about what they entail.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got two dream projects in development right now, and they\u2019re really good,\u201d she shared. \u201cTwo very different characters, but just a blast to play. I\u2019m saying yes to what challenges me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Cattrall is opening up about her life post-Samantha Jones.
