Surf's up: Kim Cattrall solves the problem of her cellulite by covering up in a sexy full-body wetsuit

Updated 14:57pm on 12 Jan 2008


Kim Cattrall's dimpled thighs were on show for all to see as she filmed scenes in a 50s style bikini for the new Sex And The City movie in Malibu yesterday.

But the actress appears to have solved that particular thorny problem by slipping into something a bit more forgiving – a sexy full body wetsuit.

Raunchy: As expected, Kim's scenes with onscreen boyfriend Smith Jerrod will be suitably raunchy in keeping with Samantha's character

Although her fans may be a little disappointed that there is less of her still-enviable figure to enjoy, Kim looked every inch a beachside pin-up in the figure-hugging outfit for the rolling in the surf scenes.

Kim was reunited with her hunky onscreen boyfriend Smith Jerrod, played by handsome actor Jason Lewis.

Kim has often stripped off for her role as the racy Samantha - but in new scenes for the highly-anticipated big screen version she appears to have revealed rather more than she would have liked.

The actress was pictures in a pair of massive bikini bottoms which failed to hide the dimpled truth, as her cellulite was revealed while she filmed scenes on the Malibu beach.

The blonde star strode along the beach, gold stilettos in hand. And despite retaining a still enviable figure, her thighs showed the tell-tale signs of the dreaded skin condition which defeats many women.

Kim wore a 50s style black halternecked bikini to film scenes on the deserted beach. And the large tummy-covering pants had more than a hint of the Bridget Jones' about them.

But unlike Bridget's control pants, unfortunately for Kim, they did little to enhance the Sex and the City star's still svelte figure.

But, dreaded cellulite aside, the 51-year-old actress is clearly still in pretty fine fettle.

And fans of the film are expecting plenty of the raunchy scenes that are now associated with her outrageous character, PR woman Samantha.

The film has been dogged by rumours of on-set rows, mainly involving Cattrall and actress Sarah Jessica-Parker.

And in new reports from the US, an insider is set to blow the lid with a behind the scenes memoir.

According to the New York Post, Clifford Streit, the former manager of author Candace Bushnell, is touting a book proposal of the series' early days titled "Unbecoming Stanford."

The book is named after Stanford Blatch, the character who was Carrie Bradshaw's flamboyant gay best friend played by Willie Garson, as it was intended as a caricature of Streit.

Recently, Bushnell and Streit amicably settled a financial dispute over payment from the show.

The book suggests tensions on set began because Kim Cattrall was "a natural comedienne, and a scene-stealer in the best possible sense - the camera went right to her."

Streit also claims two of the show's on-screen lovers had an affair off-screen too.

And that executive producer Darren Star passed on Ashton Kutcher for the show because, he privately confided after a dinner meeting: "I don't see this kid going anywhere."

Show me a woman that doesn't have cellulite and I'll show you a woman that is living on a glass of water and a jelly bean. Toss up between Victoria Beckham and Kim Cattrall and I know who I'd rather look like and it wouldn't be the former.... As echo'd above, if I looked like that in my fifties I would be very happy... Enough with the stick thin obsession!

Please note that KC does not have a "problem". She looks great.

Cellulite comes and goes and can be remedied by diet and water.

This culture of slating people for their flaws (some magazines even focus on feet, veins on hands, sweat under armpits) is appalling and should be outlawed.

Kim Cattrall looks amazing, get off her case!

I would be deliriously happy if I looked even half as good as that at 51 !

The cellulite obsessed media strikes again. People are dying in the world, but KC's thighs take center stage. Time for the media to take a step back and look at themselves.

Kim Catrall looks incredible - most women would kill for her figure, let alone at 51.

She looks great, it's surprising that the person who wrote this article does not know what the general public thinks about.

She is 51 and looks amazing even for a 25 year old.

God this drives me mad! She looks amazing for 51! Why is it that women are always scrutinized in great detail but we rarely see photos of aging men! It happens to all of us, get over it!

It seems women nowadays should just kill themselves when they reach 25 or so. Kim Cattrall is a total fox, and is ageless in my eyes.

One would think the media would be more responsible in their reporting what with the size zero debate raging. I'm particularly irritated with the opinion (because that is just what it is) : "the dreaded condition" - really? A pity that this sort of "story" makes it onto a "news" paper.

Oh give it a break! Kim Cattrall is 51 years old. And she looks amazing.

Kim Cattrall is 51 and looks remarkably good for her age.

Oh come on...! What most people would give to look a fraction as good as that at 51! Can't believe she is getting a hard time over those tiny thighs...

This really annoys me, a stunning women (at the age of 51), who has a successful career, is put down because she has a few dimples in her legs. And how are "normal" (not skinny, size zero) women supposed to feel good about themselves, and try not to fall into eating disorders, when people like Kim are put down! What is the world coming to! We need to celebrate women and the size of women for what they are, not put people down if they have cellulite, or a few rolls in the mid-rif"

What woman does not have cellulite. I do and my man has never commented on it. Gentlemen wouldn't - it's natural.
