Why Sarah Jessica Parker’s son feels ‘weird’ watching ‘And Just Like That’
He’s just not that into it.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s son admits he’s “running out of excuses” not to watch his mom on her iconic show “Sex and the City.”
James Wilkie Broderick, 20, did reveal Thursday that he tried to give the series spinoff “And Just Like That…” a chance, but found it a bit “weird.”
“I tried to watch the new [series], and I liked it, but then I felt weird because I haven’t watched the original,” James explained to “Entertainment Tonight” while accompanying his dad and Parker’s husband, Matthew Broderick, to the 2023 Father of the Year Awards in NYC.
“It felt a little weird to be watching the newer one having not watched it, even if it’s accessible,” he added.
“Sex and the City” ran from 1998 to 2004.
Parker filmed Season 5 while pregnant with James, who was born in 2002.
Now that he’s older and on break from Brown University, James admits there’s really no reason why he hasn’t jumped on the Carrie Bradshaw bandwagon.
“I guess it’s kind of obvious why maybe I hadn’t watched the original show as a kid,” he laughed.
“I don’t really have an excuse. People ask like: ‘Oh, is that awkward for you? There’s like a lot of [risqué] scenes.’ That’s not that big of a deal for me. I think I just was a little too young before,” James claimed.
“I’m really running out of excuses.”
The Post has contacted Parker and Matthew for comment.
Parker, 58, and Matthew, 61, married in 1997.
They welcomed twin daughters, Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell — who are days away from their 14th birthday — by surrogacy in 2009.
James still has time to get into “AJLT,” as Season 2 premieres June 22 on Max.
Kim Cattrall, 66, will make a brief appearance as Samantha Jones this season, The Post exclusively revealed last month.
Sources close to the show claim Cattrall avoided her former co-stars, including Parker — her longtime nemesis — while filming her cameo.
“SATC” star Cynthia Nixon, 57, recently revealed the original cast was “walking on eggshells” around Cattrall.
“We all love each other, we love our show, we wanted to do more of it. And we all wanted to be there. So that makes an enormous difference,” Nixon added of the spinoff’s cast.
