Kim Cattrall: 'Children Should Not Watch Sex And The City'

Kim Cattrall has urged women not to let their children watch Sex And The City, because the content is not suitable for youngsters.

Cattrall's comments comes after 15-year-old teen sensation Miley Cyrus admitted to being a fan of the HBO series, and the 51-year-old is disturbed to hear that some parents have been letting their young daughters watch Sex and the City: The Movie.

Cattrall, who plays maneater Samantha Jones, insists the age restrictions are there for a reason, as the material in the film and TV show is too racy for youngsters.

She says: "This is not a show made for an eight-year-old, they don't need to know about this stuff... I want to say to women, this is not for all women.

"It's adult entertainment - it's an R-rated film."

And the actress admits that the only time she has vetoed a script was during the TV series, when writers created a storyline that involved her character taking tips on fellatio from a 13-year-old girl.

She adds: "I thought, no, stop - this would never happen unless a woman was insane. And I think that's the only time in the film and TV series that I said, I'm so sorry, but I can't make that work.' And they re-wrote it."
