She plays a mum who gets up close and personal with Joe Manganiello in Magic Mike XXL, but whatever you do, don’t call Andie MacDowell a cougar.

The actress, who starred alongside Hugh Grant in Four Weddings And A Funeral, thinks the term is insulting and doesn’t want her character described that way.

‘I find it offensive,’ she told People magazine. ‘There’s this notion that as men get older they become more handsome, so therefore they can have younger women, but there is no reality to that obviously – it’s just another way to disempower women.’
