James Wilkie Denies Modeling Ambitions

James Wilkie Broderick, son of actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, has publicly refuted speculation about a modeling career. Following a June photoshoot that highlighted his physique, the 23-year-old clarified his professional aspirations.

In social media posts and comments, James stated he is "definitely not turning to a modeling career" and "not tryna be a model lol!". His focus is firmly on an acting career, which he has begun to build.

Prior to completing his studies at Brown University in 2025, James secured a small role in the television series 'Lady in the Lake.' He also appeared alongside his father, Matthew Broderick, in an episode of the CBS drama 'Elsbeth' in 2025, an experience both described as enjoyable.

Further adding to his acting resume, James appeared in the 2025 short film 'Why Not, Pat?' and has two upcoming projects: the short film 'Alter Egos' and the feature film 'Days Ending in Y.' His mother, Sarah Jessica Parker, has consistently encouraged her children to forge their own fulfilling paths, emphasizing the importance of meaningful and self-sustaining careers.
