Matthew Broderick Reveals Why He Never Appeared in ‘Sex and the City’ With Sarah Jessica Parker
Matthew Broderick may not have appeared in Sex and the City — but he wanted to.
The actor and husband of Sarah Jessica Parker, who starred in the HBO series, stopped by James Corden’s This Life of Mine show on SiriusXM. During his conversation with the former late night host, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off star was asked if it was true he was asked to be in the romance drama multiple times and opted not to.

“Whenever there was a part that I could do, I couldn’t do it is really all that happened,” he explained. “But also sometimes, it was like, ‘Do you want to do two days as the premature ejaculator?’ And I’d be like, ‘You know, I don’t know. It’s just kind of embarrassing.’”
While it would’ve seemed likely that Parker approached him about guest starring in her show, that was never the case. Instead, the SATC team was very professional and only approached him through his agent.
“I wish that I had done it or been in it. That was her thing and that would be stunting me or something. I don’t know. It just never worked out,” Broderick continued. “I love that show, and I would have been delighted to be in it, but it just never lined up right.”
Parker starred as Carrie, alongside Cynthia Nixon’s Miranda, Kristin Davis’ Charlotte and Kim Cattrall’s Samantha. SATC followed the four women as they explored Manhattan’s dating scene and chronicled the mating habits of single New Yorkers.
The show spawned two movies and a sequel series, And Just Like That, on Max and currently in production on its third season.
