Matthew Broderick On Why He Never Was On 'Sex And The City'

As the longtime husband of Sarah Jessica Parker , actor Matthew Broderick wouldve seemingly had a leg up in landing a role on Sex and the City alongside his wife but it never happened.

Appearing on Thursdays episode of the SiriusXM show This Life of Mine, Broderick confirmed that he was asked to appear on the era-defining HBO series , which ran for six seasons and spawned two big-screen films as well as a successful, if divisive, revival show . However, he never actively pursued the opportunity.

Whenever there was a part that I could do, I couldnt do it, he said. But also sometimes, it was like, Do you want to do two days as the premature ejaculator? And Id be, you know: Well, I dont know. You know, its just kind of embarrassing.

Given how closely aligned Parker is with the SATC franchise, Broderick said that appearing on the show himself ran the risk of being stunty.
