SATC Star Makes Bold Career Comeback!

One of Sex and the City’s most memorable heartthrobs has resurfaced after , revealing a surprising new chapter in his career.

Jason Lewis, who played the handsome model and love interest of ’s Samantha Jones in the hit series, has traded red carpets for a very different kind of creative pursuit.

The actor, 54, has now pivoted from acting to focus on an ambitious writing project - a nine-book fantasy saga. 

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Lewis said that three years ago he relocated from to Costa Rica, where he now 'spends his days surfing, learning Spanish, and waking up at 4 a.m.' to work on the project.

The epic series spans three interconnected trilogies, all set within the same universe but unfolding across different eras.

In a notably unconventional twist, the first installment set for release is actually book seven in the overall timeline.

‘I chose to start at the end,’ Lewis told the outlet, describing the project as an ‘epic fantasy’ in the style of Lord of the Rings.

He said the series blends imaginative storytelling with nods to real scientific ideas, including quantum theory and theories from physicist Richard Feynman. 

When the series ended in 2004, the couple were still together and in love. However, Jason played Smith again in 2008's Sex and the City: The Movie and the two characters broke up after Samantha moved to Los Angeles.

Lewis returned for the 2010 sequel Sex And The City 2 and it appeared that Smith and Samantha were still on good terms as he invited her to be his date to his new action film's premiere.

In 2021, Lewis said he would not appear in ...And Just Like That.

In an interview with the Daily Front Row, the actor said he was asked if he had been approached to return to the franchise. 

'I have not, but I would be the last to know!' the star said. He added, 'As much as I appreciate the flattery, the conversation is about the girls.' Filming for the revival is set to begin later this spring.

In late 2019, the actor proposed to his girlfriend, producer Liz Godwin.

He opened up about the proposal in a February 2020 interview with People magazine. 

'To keep Liz from suspecting anything, I organized a climbing [and] beach day out at Point Dume, Malibu, with friends and family gathered for the holidays,' Jason said. 'We set Liz up to climb a cliff right over the water, just before sunset.'

'My buddies and I then sprinted up a back trail to the climb so I could be waiting for her at the top,' he continued. 'I anchored myself to the rock — clipped her to me, just in case — then got on one knee and did "the thing."'

Lewis dated actress Rosario Dawson from 2005 to 2006.
