(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jessica Szohr has gushed about Sarah Jessica Parker calling her "inspiring and awesome".

The 26-year-old former Gossip Girl star told OK magazine that it was a thrill working with Sarah Jessica on their new movie I Don't Know How She Does It.

She said it was definitely a case of life imitating art as the Sex and the City star's role was very much like her own life.

"She's so wonderful and so sweet," Jessica shared. "To see someone who's a mom and travels and is a fashion icon and a wonderful wife, to see how she keeps it all together, and still has a huge smile on her face, and is just so genuine it was very inspiring and awesome.

"It's ironic because it's like the character she plays a woman who has a full time job, as a mom, as a wife, and a profession to see her do that, and play this role was neat."

Jessica said she did not get to meet Sarah Jessica's twin girls Loretta and Tabitha but that their proud mother showed her lots of photos.

"She talks about them all the time. They have an amazing family," Jessica said.

Sarah Jessica, 46, is also mother to eight-year-old son James Wilkie with her husband of 14 years, Matthew Broderick. (C) Cover Media
