Matthew Broderick Reveals He Was Offered a Role in Sex and the City

Sarah Jessica Parker‘s husband, Matthew Broderick, has recently disclosed that he was offered a role in the popular HBO series Sex and the City. Broderick, a Tony award-winning actor known for his roles in films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, revealed that he was approached multiple times over the last two decades to appear in the show and its spin-off, And Just Like That.

Broderick mentioned that one of the roles he was offered involved playing a character with sexual problems, specifically a man Carrie Bradshaw was dating. He recalled the role as that of a “premature ejaculator” and admitted that he found the idea embarrassing, which led him to decline the offer. The role ultimately went to Justin Theroux, who played the character Vaughn Wysel in an episode titled Shortcomings during season two.

Despite his decision not to participate, Broderick expressed regret over not being a part of the series, which he described as his wife’s “thing.” Sarah Jessica Parker, who starred as Carrie Bradshaw, has been married to Broderick for 27 years. The show, which explores the lives and relationships of four women in Manhattan, has become a cultural phenomenon and continues to be a topic of discussion among fans.

Fans of the show continue to engage in discussions about various episodes and characters, with many sharing their favorite episodes and analyzing the relationships and plotlines. For instance, some fans have highlighted episodes like “I Heart NY” and “The Real Me” as particularly memorable, while others discuss the complexities of Carrie and Mr. Big’s relationship.
