'Sex and the City' stars ordered to lose weight

The male stars of the 'Sex and the City' movie have been told to lose weight by film bosses.

The male stars of the 'Sex and the City' movie have been told to lose weight by film bosses.

Producers feared their aging hunks were getting a little paunchy and so they were all told to trim down before shooting began last month.

David Eigenberg, who plays Steve Brady, the husband of Cynthia Nixon's character Miranda Hobbes, admits he was one of the actors told to shape up.

"It's harder to be a man on 'Sex & The City' than a woman," he said.

"They (producers) can't tell the women to lose weight. They tell the guys to lose weight. They told me to lose a couple of pounds."

Eigenberg took the trim-down comments to heart.

"You should have seen me three months ago," he said. "I was fat. I dropped 20 pounds."
