He starred alongside Catherine Bach in the 1970s TV series The Dukes of Hazzard.

And on Friday John Schneider sided with the original Daisy Duke, as he told TMZ that he found her to be the 'better' Daisy, as 'she was sexy in a classy way.'

The remarks came after the publication asked the 55-year-old about pictures of Jessica Simpson (who played Daisy in the 2005 film) wearing her Daisy Dukes while on vacation in Mexico on Wednesday.

John - who originally portrayed Bo Duke - was asked if Jessica could compete with Catherine, but he emphatically shared his answer before he was even shown the sexy photographs.

'No, I don't think so,' John gushed, after having shared that he believes Catherine is 'the real Daisy Duke.'

He clarified that while he thinks that the 35-year-old is 'beautiful, certainly... that wasn't what Daisy Duke was about.'

The Smallville actor went on to explain that the difference is that the original Daisy 'didn't know she was sexy.'

He also said that 'there's a Pamela Anderson sexy and there's a Catherine Bach sexy... There's Raquel Welch sexy and then there's a you know, Playmate kind of sexy.'

'I think it's sexier when you don't realize it,' John continued, as he solidified his vote for his former co-star Catherine in the battle of the Daisy Dukes.
