She also offered her ‘most clear answer’ on the possibility of a third installment.
Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t afraid to share her real feelings.
The 52-year-old Divorce star appeared on Wednesday's Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, and the late-night host and the actress' longtime friend wasn’t afraid to ask her some of the tougher questions surrounding the recent Sex and the City drama.
Cohen inquired as to what Parker thought of her former co-star Kim Cattrall’s comments to Piers Morgan about why she refused to do a third SATC film and her claims that she was never friends with any of her castmates.
“Just heartbroken,” admitted Parker, who portrayed Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO TV series-turned-movies. “I mean, that whole week, you and I spoke about it endlessly, because I was just, I don’t know, I found it very upsetting because that’s not the way I recall our experience. It’s sad, but I always think that what ties us together was this singular experience. It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives, so I hope that that eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with it is such a privilege.”
Cohen also asked if Parker and the SATC team had considered killing Samantha Jones (Cattrall) in order to do a third film, or having her character just be out of the picture instead of trying to replace her.
“I think once everybody has thoroughly experienced the grieving process, then [producer] Michael Patrick [King] can go back and sort of ponder what he might want to do and how he might want to proceed,” she said of the show’s creator. “That’s the most clear answer I’ve given yet!”
Cohen hilariously auditioned for the role of Samantha during Wednesday’s show, donning a blonde wig and reading a particularly racy scene with Parker.
“I’m willing to go on the record and say you’re more suited certainly than Stephen Colbert. And I don’t know that Ellen [DeGeneres]’s actually interested. In fact, she might have passed,” she said of the two talk show hosts that were previously offered the part by her. “So, the part by default is yours!”
Cohen also brought up the possibility of Sharon Stone taking on the role of Samantha, to which Parker replied, “You’re not the first person that said it. I think it’s a really interesting idea, yeah.”
Parker was much less optimistic about the possibility of a third SATC movie when speaking with ET’s Nancy O’Dell at the Golden Globes. Watch the exclusive clip below to see what she said.
