Friday
Night with Jonathan Ross, 10.35pm, Friday 10 December 2004, 大象传媒 ONE
听
Kim Sex and the City Cattrall confirms
she left the show over a financial dispute when she meets Jonathan
Ross this Friday on 大象传媒 ONE.
听
She says she was unhappy with the way it ended: "I
felt that after six years it was time for all of us to participate in
the financial windfall of SATC, and then when they didn't seem keen
on that I thought it was time to move on."
听
But she would go back: "Yes, if the deal was right
and the script was fabulous, absolutely I would."
听
Kim - currently living in London and making her West
End debut in Whose Life is It Anyway? - is newly single, says there's
no one special in her life but, like her alter ego Samantha, she prefers
younger men.
听
"I'm actively dating, and I'm here for the next
five months, so I'm very interested in exploring the male psyche. Younger
men are very interesting to me; they like to listen and learn!"
听
She also talks about how she nearly turned down the
role of Samantha: "I didn't know if I could pull it off. I turned
it down four times. I was 40 and I didn't know if I could do it."
听
But she ended up with a great affinity with her character,
and her forties are the best years of her life: "A lot of people
are frightened of women with a voracious sexual appetite... I didn't
have any body parts left to expose... women in their forties are the
most fabulously sexy animals on the planet... [sex] gets better."
听
On the eve of the final of 大象传媒 ONE's Strictly Come Dancing
Jonathan also welcomes to the show song and dance maestro Bruce Forsyth.
听
Bruce looks back over his TV career: "I'd rather
have done more performance shows. I regret not doing more of those,
but the game shows were quicker, you could get the money and run."
听
He thought he was heading for retirement until a new
generation discovered him: "I thought I was washed up. Doing Have
I Got News For You led to other things, the chance to come back and
be at the top again is like a bonus."
听
Jonathan also talks to Irish comedian Dara O'Briain,
and there's music from Kings of Leon.
