'It felt like somebody was holding me hostage': Sarah Jessica Parker recalls being reluctant to star in 'Sex and the City'
Can anyone imagine 'Sex and the City' without Sarah Jessica Parker? Absolutely not! But in a recent interview Sarah Jessica Parker revealed that she almost didn't star on the show because of quite a few reasons.
People reports, that Parker felt that after making a name for herself as both a film and a Broadway star she was reluctant to star in a television show fearing the grueling schedule that would accompany it. “I panicked and I was like, ‘I want to maintain my life. I like doing a few plays a year and a movie, and maybe a TV movie of the week," she revealed to James Andrew Miller in the latest episode of his podcast. Even after accepting her role and the subsequent popularity of the show, Parker was still apprehensive about her decision and it took a while for her to adjust to this new life of being a television actress. “All of a sudden it felt like somebody was holding me hostage or something or there just were these limitations which felt very suffocating.”
