"Sex And The City" Actor Mario Cantone Wants Brad Pitt To Play His Lover In The Film

Brad Pitt will star in the next "Sex and the City" movie, if Mario Cantone gets his way. The actor - who plays Charlotte York Goldenblatt's gay friend Anthony Marentino - would love the Hollywood heartthrob to play his lover in the latest big-screen version of the hit U.S. TV show, but admits it's an unrealistic request.

He told In Touch Weekly magazine: "I've always said I wanted Brad Pitt to play my lover, but that's never going to happen because he's much better looking. Either him or Ashton Kutcher!"

Mario has played Anthony since the third series of the TV show, when he appeared as Charlotte's wedding planner.

Although Brad is unlikely to sign up, it was recently revealed Chris Noth will reprise his role as Mr. Big in the new film.

The actor - who played Carrie Bradshaw's love interest in the first film as well as all six TV series - will now join the rest of his co-stars in the sequel, after previously being the only major cast member who hadn't signed a contract.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays fashion-obsessed writer Carrie, confirmed the news at the Tribeca Film Festival but wouldn't elaborate on any of the stories, insisting: "I don't know anything yet."

The highly-anticipated film will be released on May 2010.
