Matthew Broderick Says He Turned Down SATC Role as the "Premature Ejaculator"
View Date:2024-12-23 18:24:46
Matthew Broderick couldn't help but wonder if he should have been on Sex and the City?
Although looking back, the Ferris Bueller's Day Off star had a pretty good reason for never appearing on wife Sarah Jessica Parker's iconic series.
"Whenever there was a part that I could do," Matthew explained on This Life of Mine with James Corden Oct. 3, "I couldn't do it, is really all that happened."
But as the 62-year-old joked, "Sometimes, it was like, 'Do you want to do two days as the premature ejaculator?' And I'd be, you know, 'Well, I don't know. It's just kind of embarrassing.'"
The role ultimately went to Justin Theroux, who played the character Vaughn Wysel on season two.
And despite being married to Carrie Bradshaw herself, Matthew revealed that the offers wouldn't come from Sarah—who starred on Sex and the City from 1998 to 2004—but would come through his agent, adding the show was "very professional."
Still, he lamented, "I wish that I had done it or, or been in it."
Plus, he's also very aware that the series very much belonged to Sarah, 59, with whom he shares son James, 21, and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, 13.
"That was her thing, and that would be stunting me or something, I don't know," he said. "It just never worked out."
Matthew explained, "I love that show and I would have been delighted to be in it, but it just never lined up right."
While the two didn't get to work together on the small screen, the couple—who first met in 1991 and have been married for 27 years—have appeared together on stage: in 1996 for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and more recently in 2022 for Plaza Suite.
And getting the chance to work together again was something the couple relished.
"Her way of working is very compatible for me," Matthew told The Telegraph in January. "I find her very easy to [work with] and I'm very impressed by her. I think she's tremendously good."
Despite the fact that they were playing a less than happy couple in the Neil Simon play, their roles didn't make them do too much of a deep dive into their own relationship.
"Boy, you would think it would," he quipped, "but I don't know that it has… It's more about depending on each other onstage that's educational. How to help the other person and not take things personally. How to work together well is probably a good exercise for a couple."
