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.”
