“When you come and are on vacation alone, you can kind of create whatever you want,” said Jennifer.
‘I ended up meeting these two guys who were best friends and I liked them both, so I told them I had an identical twin sister and I dated them both. For two weeks.’
Although Jennifer managed to accomplish the feat without a hitch, the actress admitted that she probably wouldn’t feel brave enough to do the same feat again.
“I don’t know if I would have the courage to do that now, but at the time, it was a really great decision, because when you’re younger, you just get away with anything,” she said.
While promoting her new film, Jennifer was also asked about fan suggestions for her to replace Kim Cattrall in the new limited series Sex and the City.
No! Jennifer also recently said she will not replace Kim Cattrall in the new reboot of Sex and the City
But the star told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that she is not interested in stepping in for Samantha Jones, insisting that no one ‘can replace’ Kim.
She said: ‘I have to say that I am a big fan of Kim Cattrall, and I don’t see anyone being able to replace her in that part. It was just perfect … I don’t think you can replace it ‘
‘I was a big, and I’m still a big fan of Sex and the City,’ she told Andy.
“It’s one of those programs where you just watch reruns and never get tired of them.”
She added: “I must say that I am a huge fan of Kim Cattrall and I don’t see anyone being able to replace her in that part. It was just perfect … I don’t think you can replace it. ‘
In addition, Jennifer played a small role in an episode of the series in 2003.
In the sixth season, episode three – The Perfect Present – she played Victoria, who invited Carrie and her gang to launch their line of bags.
At the party, Samantha was picked up by Jennifer’s character in a very intimate situation with waiter Smith Jerrod in the hall,
