Eva Longoria feels a lot better - physically and intellectually - as she's growing older

Eva Longoria feels sexy now that she is older. The Latino beauty, who turned 39 last weekend, insists she isn't worried about the landmark celebration, as she feels more attractive now than she did when making her debut on the popular TV series Desperate Housewives over a decade ago.

She told an American magazine: `I had no idea what was happening 10 years ago, I was in a big vortex of madness. Compared to that phase, I feel more intelligent about a lot of other things. So that makes me feel sexy.`

Eva - who has been dating millionaire boyfriend Jose Antonio Baston since November - also admitted she is infatuated with the fictional character Jon Snow from Games of Thrones.

Eva explaines why. `I don't like Kit Harington but I love Jon Snow. I like the fur coat and the bow and arrow and the swords - that person.`

Eva celebrated her 39th birthday at a party hosted by a magazine in Miami.
