Sarah Jessica Parker says being named the Unsexiest Woman Alive doesn't upset her.

The 'Sex and the City' actress isn't concerned whether or not people find her attractive and admits she doesn't see herself as sexy either.

Parker, who has a five-year-old son James with husband Matthew Broderick, is quoted by a US magazine as saying: "What they don't know is that one day I'll wake up fat. But I'll still be happy, just like I am now. I believe in the old 'sticks and stones' philosophy, so frankly their words don't come close to hurting.

"And it does not bother me in the least if people don't think I'm sexy. I don't think I am, either."

Last month, Parker was given the dubious honour of the Unsexiest Woman Alive in the online poll by men's website Maxim.com.

In a scathing attack on the 42-year-old actress, Maxim.com writers - who compiled the poll - likened Parker to famous US racehorses Barbaro and Secretariat and insisted they would rather get up close and personal with her 'Sex and the City' co-star Chris Noth.

One Maxim.com writer said: "How the hell did this Barbaro-faced broad manage to be the least sexy woman in a group of very unsexy women and still star on a show with "sex" in the title?

"Pull your skirt down, Secretariat, we would rather ride your co-star Chris Noth!"
