Sarah Jessica Parker, aged 58, has shed light on her unwavering decision to steer clear of n^de scenes throughout her acting career.
Widely recognized for her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw in s** and the City, Parker stood out for maintaining a strict no-n^dty clause in her contract, unlike her co-stars who frequently bared it all in the comedy series.
In the recent spin-off show And Just Like That, both Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon embraced n^dty in the season two premiere.
However, Parker chose not to follow suit, adhering to her enduring policy against on-screen nudity.
During an appearance on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show, Parker revealed the origins of her no-n^dty stance.
She expressed her initial intrigue with the s** and the City script, highlighting its uniqueness and freshness.
Yet, she candidly admitted her discomfort with the prospect of nudity, foreseeing its potential inclusion in the series beyond the pilot episode.
According to Parker, the show’s creator Darren Star responded supportively to her reservations about nudity, assuring her that she need not partake in such scenes if she felt uneasy.
This understanding approach from Star reinforced Parker’s decision to abstain from on-screen nudity, emphasizing her inherent shyness and personal boundaries.
Reflecting on her experience, Parker clarified that her reluctance to disrobe was not rooted in judgment towards others who chose differently but rather in her own discomfort with exposing herself in that manner.
Despite never facing coercion to engage in n^dty on s** and the City, Parker recounted a distressing incident where producers attempted to pressure her into a n^de scene, leading to emotional turmoil and tears.
In a previous interview with People in 2018, Parker recounted feeling overwhelmed when informed that she would be required to appear n^de on screen, firmly asserting her refusal to comply with such demands.
The ordeal left her emotionally shaken, underscoring her resolute stance against on-screen nudity.
For those following And Just Like That, the latest developments can be explored in our episodic recap.
The show is broadcast on Thursdays on Sky Showcase and Now in the UK, as well as on Max in the US.
Sarah Jessica Parker’s principled stance on n^dty serves as a testament to her unwavering commitment to personal boundaries and self-respect within the realm of entertainment.
