    Cynthia Nixon disliked how "incredibly white" 'Sex and The City' was

    The 59-year-old actress played Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO series, but Cynthia thinks 'Sex and The City' wasn't reflective of the real world


    Speaking to Sky News, the actress explained: "The one thing that didn't really sit well with me in the past was how incredibly white the show was."

    Cynthia reprised the role of Miranda to star in 'And Just Like That...', the 'Sex and The City' revival show. And Cynthia believes the new series presents a more well-rounded view of the world.

    She explained: "I think to expand the universe of, you know, who gets to be centred in the show has been a tremendous boon. Whether you're talking about people of colour, whether you're talk about queer people, people of different ages. We used to have a wonderfully fascinating lens, but it was fairly narrow.

    "We've moved in our view of queer people ... for so long, if you wanted to put a gay person on screen, one of the ways to make them palatable was to really emphasise their funniness and I think we have many very funny gay characters, but we're able to, I think, have a more well-rounded view of them."

    Meanwhile, Cynthia recently revealed that she has an "intense" friendship with her 'And Just Like That...' co-stars.

    The actress has relished the experience of reuniting with Kristin Davis and Sarah Jessica Parker to shoot the revival series.

    Cynthia - who also starred in two 'Sex and the City' films - told People: "I just think the longevity, I mean the intensity of it, but also the longevity of it, because there's something about knowing and loving a person, but then when you know them for so long, you know their children and their parents and their spouses and their friends."

    Cynthia has developed a close bond with her co-stars over the years, and she now understands them "in their complete context".

    Reflecting on her relationship with Sarah and Kristin, she said: "When you understand somebody in their complete context, I feel like that's when you really know them."
