Kim Cattrall loves getting fat!

Kim Cattrall enjoyed preparing to become a porn star!

The Sex and the City star, 54, got to break her usual healthy eating plan to pig out and gain weight for her role as a retired adult movie actress and single mother in new movie Meet Monica Velour.

“I had to eat and not exercise, which is a pretty great,” says Kim. “I had milkshakes, bread, pastas  just everything I could possibly want.

“I could eat fast food or I could eat a really great steak. I just went on and on and I didn’t have to go to the gym and I didn’t have any guilt because it was for my work.”

Kim who split from chef Alan Wysein July 2009 after five years together recently insisted she’s “embracing” being single.

“I am starting to date, but I’m just dipping my toes,” she said. “I think, especially at this point in my life, I feel pretty happy.

“I like who I’ve become and it’s changing always. I’m kind of embracing that.”

Kim is famed for her amazing figure and while she is stepping back into the dating scene, the blonde beauty insists she doesn’t work hard to maintain it in order to impress men.

“I don’t do it for a guy,” she said. “I do it for me. It’s about taking care of yourself.”
