LUANN de Lesseps has expressed interest in joining the cast of the Sex and the City reboot after referring to herself as the “Kim Cattrall” of the Bravo franchise.
The Real Housewives of New York star recently began dating Mexican football player Radamez Rubio Gaytan after her divorce from Tom D’Agostino in 2017.
Luann, 56, shared her desire to be cast as Kim Cattrall’s replacement in the Sex and the City reboot Just Like That.
On Sunday the reality star posted the iconic press photo including the show’s all-stars, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon, with herself cropped in Kim’s place.
The TV personality’s fans went wild, as several believed she “fit right in” to the beloved 90’s show.
“You are my Samantha,” one gushed, while a second wrote: “I can definitely go for this! I love it.”
“Great idea!!” a third penned while a fourth laughed: “Hahaha legend.”
But Luann didn’t stop there as she hopped back on Instagram to share a throwback video of herself claiming to be the “Kim Cattrall” of RHONY.
In the hilarious clip, the Connecticut native argued with her ex-co-star Bethenny Frankel.
“Are you getting laid right now or what? I mean what’s the problem,” Luann asked her frenemy.
“I mean you’re making up for all of us but I’m doing okay,” Bethenny shot back.
“Oh really? Am I the Kim Cattrall of the family or what? I mean really,” she joked.
Luann captioned the hilarious throwback: “Well….? I’m ready for my closeup @sarahjessicaparker #shameless#SATC#AndJustLikeThat.”
Once again fans were supportive of the movement, as they rushed to the comments to promote the singer for the part.
“Yaaaaaassssss queen, they need to call you for that SATC reboot!!!!” one encouraged.
“This is the Countess’ unofficial audition for Kim Catrells role in the sex in the city remake: I think she’d be EXCELLENT in it!” another agreed.
In January, Sarah Jessica Parker broke the news that she and the original cast would be reconvening for a new reboot of the classic original.
However, it was later discovered that Kim would not be returning, after claiming she had a “toxic” relationship with her co-stars.
Sources previously told PEOPLE that she was a “demanding diva” on set, though she denied the claim.
Despite her choice to not return, Kim did compliment her character in a 2017 interview with Piers Morgan.
“It’s a great part! I played it past the finish line and then some, and I loved it.
“And another actress should play it. Maybe they could make it an African American Samantha Jones! Or a Hispanic Samantha Jones!” she suggested.
Luann has been busy focusing on her own romantic endeavors after meeting a former NFL player in Mexico this summer.
The housewife was seen kissing and hugging the Mexican athlete, Radamez Rubio Gaytan while taking a boat ride in the Hamptons in late May.
Sources told PEOPLE that the two met while she stayed in a hotel in Tulum, and they quickly hit it off.
“She met him at the hotel she was staying at in Tulum which he was managing and he flew in last week to spend time with her in NYC, Sag Harbor, and Connecticut.”
