Kim Cattrall has a 'blast' with 'fun playmate' Russell Thomas
Kim Cattrall is still smitten with her "fun playmate" Russell Thomas after almost 10 years together.
The Sex and The City star had been married three times before she met boyfriend Russell during a recording session at BBC Radio 4 in the UK back in 2016 and she has confessed they've "had a blast" throughout the last decade of their relationship.
She told The Times newspaper: "He was an actor originally. He's had an incredibly interesting life and really done it on his terms. He's a bit of a rebel, which I love. We've been together almost 10 years now ... And we've had a blast. We've just had so much fun."
Kim had been battling issues including insomnia, stress and grief following the death of her father at the time she met Russell, and the actress admits she no longer regrets going through such a tough time because life brought her together with her partner.
She added: "I keep saying I wish I hadn't gone through all that. And then I thought to myself, well, if I hadn't have gone through that, I wouldn't have met Russ.
"So life has surprises and trade-offs. It was a bad time, but I learned a tremendous amount. And at the other end of it was this incredible, fun playmate."
Kim went on to admit she's the "antithesis" of her Sex and The City character Samantha in real life because she's happiest in a committed relationship unlike the serial dater she played on the small screen.
She added: "I'm the antithesis of her [Samantha] in many ways. I'm a serial monogamist, and then some."
Kim was married three times before to Mark Levinson between 1998 and 2004, Andre J. Lyson from 1982 to 1989 and Larry Davis from 1977 to 1979 before meeting Russell, who she previously described as a "firecracker".
In a previous interview with The Times, she said: "We kind of liked each other [after we first met], we kept in touch and then he came out to Vancouver.
"It was very brave of him because we didn't really know each other, other than having a few meals together. But he came and we got along great, and we've been together ever since!"
She added: 'I'm very comfortable around him. 'He's a firecracker and he's got a wicked sense of humour. And he's easy on the eyes! 'I love him. And he was worth waiting for."

Jameela Jamil describes herself as a 'failure pervert'
Jameela Jamil has described herself as a "failure pervert". The 39-year-old actress - who landed her first DJ gig at Sir Elton John's 63rd birthday party with no experience, and was cast in her first acting role in The Good Place - insisted she prefers to "jump in and try" rather than waiting for the right time. She told The Times newspaper: 'I don't wait to be perfect before I jump in and try. To do it my way I'm willing to accept that if it fails, it's my fault. "I think I'm a failure pervert. I really run at it in a way that feels nearly deliberate. That's where the colour in life exists. "It's where the funniest stories come from. It's where the most interesting people are chiselled.' However, Jameela pointed out that while she isn't full of self-confidence, that in turn makes her "immune to being judged". She explained: 'Nobody could possibly think less of me than me. If anything, when people compliment me it feels jarring. 'It makes me untouchable and quite dangerous. I'm immune to being judged. Because I don't care.' Jameela noted that she also doesn't expect to be liked by other people, which mirrors her own outlook. She quipped: "I don't personally like that many people, so I think it's ridiculous for me to expect other people to like me." Meanwhile, the She-Hulk: Attorney at Law star pointed out that she often mistook boredom for social anxiety. She said: 'I used to think I was socially anxious, but actually I was just bored. 'When I meet someone for the first time I'm not thinking, 'Do they like me?' — I'm wondering if I like them. "It's probably quite uncharitable but I don't feel an urge to perform for anyone.' Jameela recently admitted she had just $17 left in her bank account when she was cast as Tahani Al-Jamil in Mike Schur's sitcom The Good Place, which was set in the afterlife. She "ran out of money" after leaving the BBC Radio 1 Cart Show in 2016, and decided she "wanted to be a writer and a DJ", before joining her then-musician-partner on tour Appearing on David Tennant Does a Podcast With..., she said: "I ran out of money and so I said, 'Please can I have a job, any job, I will do anything.' "I was so desperate for money at that point. I had $17 left in my bank account. I was real keen. But instead I was handed a bunch of auditions." Among those opportunities was a Las Vegas magic show, and what became her role in 'The Good Place'. She added: "I went to the audition, just very much so not thinking anything was going to come of it. I got both the magic show and Mike Schur and I had to make a choice. You weren't allowed to do both."

Sarah Jessica Parker refuses to take selfies with fans for surprisingly heartwarming reason
Sarah Jessica Parker has started refusing to take selfies with fans when she's out in public. The Sex and the City star was recently asked for a photo at an airport, and she has explained she turned down the request for a very simple reason. Appearing on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show this week, she said: "So here's what I've been trying to do, because I was just at the airport on Friday. "A woman came up to me and she didn't say hello, she just said, 'Can I take your picture?' "And I said, 'We didn't even meet. You didn't even introduce yourself. What's your name?' " After the stranger said her name was Julie, the 60-year-old actress suggested a conversation might be better than a quick selfie. She added: "I guarantee you it's gonna be so much more meaningful." And she even had another chat with Julie once her family was settled with food. Radio host Howard compared the situation to "a schoolteacher teaching everyone how to behave" and said it must be "annoying", but Sarah disagreed. She explained: "Here's the thing: I kind of prefer it to somebody walking up to me with a camera already ready asking as they're clicking. "I always am, like, startled by it. I much prefer to have a conversation — for someone to come up to me and say, 'Maybe this isn't your best time, my name is Veronica and I'm just here and I'm excited to see you.' " Meanwhile, Sarah recently opened up about being regarded as a style icon, although she insisted other people's perceptions have never had much influence on her choices. She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: 'It's flattering, but it's something I don't really think about. 'I do love clothes and fashion, but I don't go out to be anything other than myself. 'There's a time when you're young when you think a lot about people's opinions of you, but I'd be at a disadvantage to spend a lot of time thinking about what other people think of me now, good or bad. 'It doesn't allow you to be who you are authentically, for better or sores.'
