Sarah Jessica Parker feels "old and tired". The 'Sex and the City' actress admits she is finding it hard to cope in the movie industry now she is 43, but would never consider going under the knife to preserve her beauty.

She said: "I feel so old and tired - I look around and everyone else seems so much younger! I buy face cream. I'll try everything. "Who knows if they work but I can't help thinking the more money you spend, the better it must be!" Parker - who has a five-year-old son James Wilkie with husband Matthew Broderick - recently revealed becoming a mother made her more romantic.

She said: "I surprise Matthew all the time with stuff. I buy him presents and leave him notes. And having a child makes a marriage much more romantic because you have this thing in common that you love in a new way."
