Sarah Jessica Parker, renowned for her iconic role as Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City" and its recent spin-off "And Just Like That...", remains unfamiliar with the series. In an interview with "E! News," Parker admitted that she has seldom watched "SATC" and its sequel.
Despite her continued portrayal of Carrie since the show's inception, Parker confessed, "I don't watch it, I've never seen it." This sentiment appears to resonate with her children as well, with her twins, Tabitha and Marion, reportedly unacquainted with the series. Parker's son, James Wilkie, has only partially encountered it, though schoolwork has hindered his continued viewing.
The actress foregoes putting pressure on her children to watch the series, prioritizing her role as a parent instead. She hopes they will remember her as such, but also acknowledges they might eventually find comfort in watching her portrayal as Carrie.
Since the premiere of "SATC" in 1998, Parker has maintained a successful balancing act between motherhood and her celebrated role. Married to Matthew Broderick, she became a mother in 2002 and later had twins via a surrogate mother. The third season of "And Just Like That..." is set to air in Germany on May 30.
Although the reasons for Parker's apparent disconnect from "SATC" remain unclear, it's not uncommon for actors to maintain professional distance from their work. Lately, Parker has been actively engaged in discussions surrounding various aspects of the show, including her views on Carrie's romantic relationships and the anticipated return of Kim Cattrall.
Other forms of entertainment, such as movies or music, might be more preferred by Sarah Jessica Parker and her family, as they seem nondiscriminatory regarding the popular series "Sex and the City" and its spin-off. Celebrities, including Parker, often distance themselves from their work to maintain a balanced life, especially when they have responsibilities like raising a family.
