“I never judged anyone else for doing it; it wasn’t like there was a moral dilemma. In response to being exposed on television, Parker said, “I felt awkward. ”.
Sarah Jessica Parker engaged in a variety of activities in Sex and the City, but going nude was not one of them.
During a Thursday appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, the 58-year-old actress admitted that she had initial doubts about joining the HBO series because she was worried about having to be completely vulnerable on camera.
According to Parker, the script “was really intriguing, exciting, unique, and fresh, and I’d never seen anything like that. I confessed to him that my only concern was that, if it wasn’t in the pilot, it would probably be a part of a series, and I didn’t feel comfortable performing in nudity. ”.
The actress claimed that Darren Star, the show’s creator, helped allay some of her fears regarding getting naked on camera. You are not required to; other actors will take part if they feel comfortable doing so. She recalled, “He said, ‘Don’t do it then.'”.
Parker acknowledged, “I don’t think I just never felt comfortable exposing myself that way. “I never criticized anyone else for doing it; it wasn’t like there was a moral dilemma. I was timid. ”.
The And Just Like That actress said she wanted to be deliberate with how they used their lack of censorship because she knew she was on a network that permitted coarser language and subject matter.
Since we were on HBO, she continued, “I knew we could say whatever we wanted and be loose, and liberal, and salty, and ribald.”. But I also thought it implied that we should exercise restraint and refrain from using words just because we could.
She went on to say that she wanted to portray her character as it really is. She continued, “And Carrie Bradshaw is a writer and she’s, really, really thoughtful about what she says, how she says it, when she says it, who’s she saying it to, and if we want to use language, let’s be thoughtful about when she uses it, we can be smart about it.”.
Parker may not have been averse to stripping off in Sex and the City, but Cynthia Nixon, who portrayed Parker’s co-star in the revival of the series And Just Like That, acknowledged that she was not.
In the opening episode of the SATC revival, the 57-year-old actress walks topless in a pool. She then ups the ante by trying on a strap-on that she claims isn’t “a beginner model” before making jokes about her oral sex prowess.
“I feel like I was always fair game for it,” Nixon said of appearing nude to Entertainment Tonight. “Sex is just one of the main topics of the show — people having it, and having great sex, terrible sex, and hilarious sex. ”.
