Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Her Honest Take On Carrie's Awkward Phone Sex Moment
Sarah Jessica Parker has opened up about one of her most talked-about moments from the new season of And Just Like That.
And no… we’re not talking about that hat.
Last week, the Sex And The City reboot returned to our screens, picking up the story where we left off, with Sarah Jessica’s character Carrie and Aidan (played by John Corbett) having made the decision to cool off their relationship while he focusses on his family life in Virginia.
In the season three opener, Aidan drunkenly called Carrie for a catch-up which quickly descended into phone sex – although with her kitten watching, she was a less-than-willing participant, and ended up faking orgasm at the end of the tryst.
During a recent interview with Glamour, SJP was asked why that was a scene she “wanted to make”, to which she responded: “I didn’t want to, it’s in the script.”
“I don’t come up with these ideas. None of this is my idea, I influence no stories, no writing, no lines, no sweeping big ideas about plot,” she explained. “It’s a scene that Michael [Patrick King, And Just Like That’s showrunner] thought was important, as [Carrie and Aidan] attempt to honour this sabbatical, and a way in which they’re trying to stay connected, and sort of respect the boundaries that are unclear.”
She added: “That’s an instance where I didn’t have a strong enough defence against it, so I was like, ‘alright’.”
“There are worse things people are asked to do at work,” she then said when pressed on the subject, before admitting it was a subject she didn’t want to “spend too much time on”.
And Just Like That’s return has already proved to live up to the chaos we’ve come to expect from the revival, so far delivering Miranda inadvertently hooking up with a nun, Charlotte getting into a scrap in the park over her dog and LTW cooking breakfast while in a necklace seemingly made entirely out of wicker.
Please, let this show run for another 10 seasons.
The first two episodes of And Just Like That season three are available to watch on Sky and Now, with new instalments every Friday in the UK.
