Evan Handler has admitted disrupting filming on the Sex And The City movie because he has frequent attacks of the hiccups.

The actor - who plays Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt - revealed that shooting was forced to stop on some scenes, believed to be from Carrie's wedding to Big.

He said: "It's been going on for the past two years. Sometimes it goes on for two, three days straight. So it was happening a little while filming, yes."

But he played down the problem, saying: "I can get it under control. I go to a quiet corner and redirect my breathing and centre myself."

Talking about plots of the eagerly-awaited movie being leaked to the press, the 46-year-old commented: “There’s 150 people watching every day, it’s hard to hide anything.”

He will shoot a few scenes for the film in New York before returning to LA to work on new show Californication.
