Hunky actor Gilles Marini's naked shower scene in Sex And The City: The Movie came as a shock to his wife - because he never told her he was baring all in the film.

Marini plays the neighbour of Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones character in the hit film and he thought it would be fun not to tell his partner that his big scene would be one of the movie's most revealing.

He says, "She went to see it and woke me up (when she returned home). (She) said, `That was shocking. I saw your penis in front of everybody.'

"I wanted her to be surprised."
