Share the secrets of young-at-heart celebs

Kim Cattrall, 53, actress

The secret? Walk when you can - and hold your head up high.

Sex and the City star Kim says she loves food - but simply steers clear of bread and alcohol when she wants to lose some weight. She also keeps fit by building exercise into her day. ‘If I don't exercise, I feel sluggish,' she says. ‘I try to do 30 minutes a day. But if I can't get to a gym, I walk. I find it a release.' Kim says she maintains a healthy attitude to ageing by learning to love her maturity. ‘I think I look my age, but I don't want to be 20 any more - or even 30 or 40,' she insists. ‘And I look at people such as Helen Mirren or Judi Dench - these amazing women who look great, but they also look their age. Sex appeal is all about confidence - and that comes from self-knowledge.'
