23 years ago, Jason Lewis struck gold when he played Samantha Jones’s love interest. The blue-eyed, blond-haired actor captivated the show’s female audience. He later repeated this success in the feature films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), as well as dozens of other roles that were noticeable but less successful. Lewis is now 54. Yesterday, he took to social media for the first time after a three-year silence to make an important announcement. And, at the same time, to show off his new look. And although it’s the blond locks of young Smith—that was the name of Jason’s character in Sex and the City—his piercing gaze is unmistakable.
Three years ago, I fell silent. “Not because I had nothing to say, but because I needed to do something,” Lewis explained his long absence from the public eye.
These words were spoken in a short video that he published on his personal account. Walking along the ocean shore, Jason said that he was busy with creative work, which left no time for other things.
And I came to terms with it,” the actor continued, but did not reveal what project he was preparing. “I’m still in the process, but I’ve already made enough progress that I felt the time had come to speak out and share what I’m doing.” There’s still a lot of interesting things ahead, he concluded.
Lewis’s IMDB page indicates that he is working on a new project called Restaveks, which is currently in post-production. The actor’s last project was released in 2020, when he played Lance in Palm Swings. And his last on-screen appearance was in 2022, when he took part in the project “Dancing with the Stars”. Lewis turned out to be not the most skilled dancer, so he was eliminated at the first vote.
As for the actor’s personal life, at 54 years old, he is still single and not burdened with fatherly responsibilities. In February 2020, Jason Lewis announced his engagement to producer Liz Godwin, whom he met in 2015 at a party in Miami. The actor proposed in the most romantic way possible—against the backdrop of a California sunset and ocean views—but he never took his beloved to the altar.
