Chris Noth urges Oz men not to be afraid of Sex and the City movie

Melbourne, June 25 : 'Sex And The City' star Chris Noth has landed in Australia in an effort to urge the country's men not to be afraid of the film.

Addressing a press conference at the State Theatre in Sydney for the launch of a new LG phone, Noth said that though he missed the film's Sydney premiere, he hoped Australian men would go to see it.

"I'm hoping that men don't feel too afraid to go to it. I feel like once the women see it the men won't want to go," News.com.au quoted him, as saying.

Noth, who plays Mr Big, the elusive love interest of the movie's main star, said he wanted to get the message across that the movie was not all cheesy but also dealt with "friendship and forgiveness".

"It was a great experience. It's great to see that people have connected to it," he said.

'Sex And The City' has already set the international box-office on fire and has been ranked number one in Australia after raking in more than 17.5 million dollars in ticket sales.
