Kim Cattrall is jealous of her 'Sex and the City' character.

The actress - who played maneater Samantha Jones in the hit US TV series - wishes she was loved as much by fans as her alter-ego.

Kim told Britain's Glamour magazine: "People used to try and book me as Samantha - can you believe that? And I just wanted to scream, 'I am not Samantha!' Nor do I want to be, as much as I think she's great. Nobody's really interested in getting to know me.

"I feel jealous of Samantha, because I feel like maybe I might be quite funny or interesting if I was given the chance."

The 50-year-old actress - who has reprised her role as the glamorous PR executive for the 'Sex and the City' movie - also wishes she had Samantha's straight talking skills.

She said: "I flew from Ireland to Canada in economy class recently. I sat down, exhausted, and this woman behind me starts talking really loudly saying, 'Oh there's a woman who used to be an actress on the plane - she was in that thing 'Sex and the City', which I always thought was c**p.'

"I didn't know whether to turn around in a Samantha-like way and say, 'Really? What didn't you like about it?' or just leave it."
