SATC's Kristin Davis: "I'm Never Going to Be the Thinnest Actress"
Here's the skinny: Kristin Davis has embraced her curves.
"I'm never going to be the thinnest actress, and I don't want to be," the Sex and the City star, 45 (the sequel hits theaters May 27), tells the May issue of Fitness. "I have hips!"

Davis admits it was "very intimidating" to slip into a bikini for the mag's cover.
"There are people who feel comfortable in bathing suits, and I don't know how they do it," she says. "I worked with Kristen Bell and Malin Akerman on the movie Couples Retreat, and they didn't care about standing around in their bikinis for days. The guys in the movie were more self-conscious than they were!"

Davis -- who has been running since her days on Melrose Place, and even taught yoga when she first moved to L.A. -- tries to keep a healthy diet.
"I eat a lot of chicken, salmon, eggs and side salads. But if all I ate were salads every day, I'd shoot myself," she says. "Who cares if you can fit in your skinny jeans if you can't enjoy life and have something good to eat? I went through periods when I said I can't have this, I can't have that. Now I don't deprive myself. Food is meant to be enjoyed."
The actress -- who will host the More/Fitness Women's Half Marathon in New York City's Central Park on April 25 -- does indulge in M&Ms and ice cream in the summer.

"One trick I've learned is that if I have an ice cream bar, I'm OK having four bites and then throwing it away," she says. "I don't need to eat the whole thing to feel satisfied."
When asked about the worst rumor she's read about herself, Davis says, "That the cast of Sex and the City hates one another. We're standing so close during filming that we touch for 18 hours a day, and then people want to say we don't get along. It's the funniest thing in the world."
She even hits the gym occasionally with Sarah Jessica Parker, 45.
"Sarah Jessica doesn't need a support buddy. She's one of the most motivated people I've ever met, and she has an amazing body even when she doesn't work out; though, like the rest of us, she doesn't feel that way," Davis says.
Tell Us What You Think
16She looks pretty damn skinny to me. Does she have an eating disorder or something? Why would she even say something that stupid? I'm mean come on, does anyone see these alleged hips that she speaks of? I don't think she has any curves at all but I certainly don't think she's ugly.
Don't believe any of the pictures I see on Fitness magazine covers. They're all photoshopped and not close to being real. It's very dishonest saying the cover women really look that way when in reality they have the same problems as the masses. That's why I don't buy any of those publications.
Even though I have to agree this photo has been touched up a bit I still think she looks amazing for her age! I desperately want to know her secrets! When I watched her in the movie "Couples Retreat" I thought she looked amazing! Such a beautiful woman she is. LOVE HER! You go Kristin! ;)
wow.. this is so deceiving. She is talking about having a real body, including hips.. she doesn't have those in this picture. Do they really think women are so stupid that we're going to believe this is a natural photo? No doubt she looks great and I wish I looked like she does at this age (i'm 48) but this is NOT REALLY WHAT SHE LIKE !
How do you know it's photoshopped? Her body looks real to me.
She looks good for her age...about 10 years younger!
she looks wayyy healthier than sjp, that's for sure. both being 45 kristin is much healthier looking without being saggy and anorexic!
She's so sexy. Yum! She's got a lovely face, and a bodacious body (when she's not photoshopped to death LOL). I definitely wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. She's far and away, the most gal on "Sex in the City."
Agreed, the photoshopping is terrible! She looks sooooo much better with her actual (yes, curvy, with hips) body. And this makes her sound silly too, when in fact she's just telling the truth.
KD looks really dumb here b/c she's going on and on about being curvy, not being stick skinny, having "HIPS" and then she is photoshopped to make her look like a twig with no hips!!! So.... it makes her look dumb and young girls who don't know any better are going to read this- look at her and think WOW if she's considered curvy and has big hips then I must be a huge fat cow. I wish the magazines would STOP already with the over the top photoshopping and the celebs need to get control over it too = so that they don't look so stupid!
Ok, seriously?!?!? What curves? All I see is bones!
Ok, seriously?!?! What curves? All I see is bones!
This picture of Kristin has been photoshopped big time. Anyone familiar with her in SATC knows what her body really looks like -- not a whole lot on top, a very small waist, and a very curvy butt. The difference between her waist and her butt is significant ... this picture makes her looks like she has no hips at all. I think her REAL body is far more beautiful than the one on this magazine.
I like how she says she doesnt want to be the skinniest actress, but by looking at the picture she looks like a size 2, so the comment sort of backfired a little.
How can she say she'll never be the skinnest actress. The girl is freaking tiny if she got any smalller she's look like she was sick. Hollywood is crazy
I saw the cover of the Fitness mag and I think it's photoshopped - b/c she looks sooo skinny and like she hardly has any hips at all. She is very pear shaped and doesn't even look like her on the cover. I think they saved a little off her hips! And that is horrible b/c they should be sending out the message that it's ok to have a shape and not everyone has to look like a twig. I love her and I love SATC, but I think everyone should just cut out the tremendous amount of photoshopping that is done. It's not just a little airbrushing here and there now - now they look like completely differnt people
