Kim Cattrall has "no desire" to look like she is 20. The 54-year-old actress – best known for playing Samantha Jones in Sex and the City – would rather appear "healthy" and of her own age as she has no desire to reclaim her youth.

She said: "I had a great time in my youth and still feel very youthful, but I have no desire to look as though I'm 20. I want to look healthy, but I want to look closer to my age."

Kim also admitted she "doesn't believe" in cosmetic surgery because she is worried about something going wrong if she went under the knife.

She added in an interview with Reveal magazine: "I don't believe in cosmetic surgery, well, not yet. I'd be too frightened. There are so many examples of things that have gone horribly wrong. I live in New York in an area where it is all around me."

While she is aware she will always be associated with Sex and the City, Kim is proud of the show because it helped changed women's attitudes to sex.
