Cattrall 'petrified' of being attacked in London

Actress Kim Cattrall is so terrified of being attacked while living in London, she has hired a 24-hour bodyguard to protect her.

The Sex and the City star, who is currently appearing in a West End production of play Whose Life is it Anyway?, was left fearful after knife-wielding maniac was recently apprehended outside the capital's Gielgud Theatre - where Christian Slater ended his run in an adaptation of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest last month.

A source explains: "Her bodyguard is staying with her at the flat in Chelsea and sticks with her whatever she is doing.

"Kim was petrified when she heard Hollywood actor Christian Slater was attacked at knife point on London's Shaftesbury Avenue earlier this year.

"Kim thinks someone may be targeting Americans after the Slater incident so she is taking every precaution she can. Her bodyguard is an English guy with military experience."
