SATC hunk sues drinks company over ad

Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis has filed a lawsuit against drinks giant Absolut Spirits Co for exploiting the use of his face in their ads.

The blonde actor - who played Kim Cattrall’s love interest Smith Jerrod in the recently-defunct series - says he only agreed to appear in the infamous advertisement, which pictures him naked holding a bottle of Absolut Vodka between his legs, on the condition it would be limited for use in the series.

However, Lewis - who filed the lawsuit last week - says the company used his image to promote their Absolut Hunk cocktail on the internet.

The lawsuit explains that Lewis is furious because he has deliberately shunned big money offers from tobacco and alcohol companies throughout his career, even when he was short of money.

Absolut Spirits Co have yet to respond to the suit.
