Sarah Jessica Parker, a renowned actress at 58, famous for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in s** and the City, has shed light on her unwavering decision to avoid n^dty throughout her acting career.
While her co-stars in the popular comedy series were often seen baring it all, Parker stood firm with a strict no-n^dty clause explicitly included in her contract.
In the spin-off show And Just Like That, n^dty continues to play a role, evident in the season two premiere where both Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon appeared nude.
However, Parker did not follow suit, maintaining her stance against such scenes.
During an appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, Parker discussed the origins of her no-n^dty rule and how she has diligently upheld it over the years.
Reflecting on her initial impressions of s** and the City, she expressed her reservations about n^dty to creator Darren Star, highlighting her discomfort with such scenes and her belief that they might become part of the series.
Star’s response was simple yet supportive, as he told Parker, “Don’t do it then, I don’t care.
Don’t do nudity.”
This assurance allowed Parker to stay true to her beliefs.
She attributed her reluctance to expose herself on screen to shyness and personal discomfort rather than passing judgment on others who chose differently.
While Parker faced no pressure to disrobe during her time on s** and the City, she previously shared a distressing experience where producers insisted on her appearing nude, leading her to tears.
Recounting the incident in a 2018 interview with People, Parker revealed the emotional turmoil she faced when pressured to strip down, firmly asserting her refusal despite external expectations.
And Just Like That, the latest installment in the franchise, airs on Sky Showcase and Now in the UK, and Max in the US.
The show continues to explore themes of n^dty and personal boundaries, showcasing different perspectives on this aspect of storytelling.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s steadfast commitment to her principles serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting individual choices in the entertainment industry.
