Sarah Jessica Parker, the actress known for her role in Sex and the City, surprisingly admits she has never watched the series.
Main Actress of 'Sex and the City,' Sarah Jessica Parker, Admits Rarely Watching Her Iconic Role
New York City, USA - Starring as Carrie Bradshaw in the hit series 'Sex and the City' may have catapulted Sarah Jessica Parker to fame, but the actress herself seldom catches up with her on-screen character. This revelation was made in an interview with "E! News."
Despite being an undeniable fixture in the lives of millions of fans, Parker admitted that she has barely watched "Sex and the City" or its sequel series "And Just Like That...". When asked about the spin-off, she candidly stated, "Oh my god, no. I don't watch it, I've never seen it." The actress's declaration was mirrored by her children, Tabitha and Marion, who, at 15 years old, have not yet seen the series. Her son, James Wilkie, has only caught a glimpse of it during the premiere of "And Just Like That..." but schoolwork soon took precedence over any further viewing.
Parker expressed no desire to pressure her children into watching the series. Instead, she prioritized being remembered as a good parent. "I just want them to remember me as a parent," she said. However, she did not rule out the possibility of her children revisiting the series in the future, hoping they might find it enjoyable.
Since 2002, Parker has been a mother to James, with husband Matthew Broderick, and later twins Tabitha and Marion, who were born seven years later through a surrogate mother. In 1998, her career-defining role as Carrie Bradshaw first appeared on screen, and "And Just Like That..." has continued her character's journey since 2021. With the third season of the spin-off set to premiere in Germany on May 30, it seems the influence of Carrie Bradshaw on Parker's life is as strong as ever.
