Summary
- Sarah Jessica Parker shares Carrie Bradshaw's dislike for parsley
- Actress and co-star Cynthia Nixon ate every prop food on set for hours
- Parker occasionally borrows from Carrie's iconic wardrobe for personal use
In a recent Q&A, actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who portrayed the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City" and its revival "And Just Like That...", shared some intriguing insights about her connection to the character. While Parker maintains a "very clear line" between herself and Carrie, the two do share one surprising quirk: a dislike for parsley.
Parker explained that her aversion to the common herb likely stemmed from her interactions with the show's writers, as she would often request servers to exclude parsley from her meals. This specific detail became integrated into Carrie's character, blurring the line between the actress and her famous role.
Beyond their shared parsley distaste, Parker also revealed that she and co-star Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda, were dedicated to consuming every prop food item during the lengthy filming of the original "Sex and the City" series. The actresses would eagerly eat everything placed in front of them, even as the scenes stretched on for hours.
While Parker kept a distinct boundary between herself and Carrie, she has occasionally dipped into her character's iconic wardrobe for personal use. Just recently, the actress borrowed an outfit from the "Sex and the City" archives for a birthday party in England, noting that it's a rare occurrence.
As the "And Just Like That..." series comes to an end, Parker has paid tribute to Carrie, reflecting on the character's adventures, heartbreaks, and enduring love for New York City. The actress expressed that Carrie has dominated her professional heartbeat for 27 years, and she believes she has loved the character the most of all.
