On a recent episode of the popular talk show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” host Jonathan Ross welcomed the lovely and talented Sarah Jessica Parker for a full interview. The audience erupted in applause as she entered the stage to the energetic sound of music.
First, Ross wasted no time in discussing Parker’s highly anticipated movie, “Sex in the City,” which had its premiere earlier in the week. The film opens in the UK on the 28th of May and will be released in America shortly after. Ross questioned why the premiere was held in London, to which Parker explained that it was standard procedure for New Line Studios to sell to foreign territories first. She expressed her gratitude for the enthusiastic response from her UK fan base.
Parker admitted that she had never seen the complete finished movie until the premiere. Due to the busy schedule of press tours, she hadn’t had a chance to watch it earlier. Ross jokingly commented on Parker’s extravagant hat at the premiere, which she admitted caused some interference for people sitting behind her.
Moving on to a discussion about the film, Parker revealed that she was proud of the story they told in “Sex in the City” and praised the work of her fellow cast members.

However, Parker saw her character differently, considering Carrie to be independent and someone who gives as much freedom as she desires.
The discussion rotated to Parker’s love for the film industry and the early days of her career. Ross shared a clip from one of Parker’s early films, “Somewhere, Sometime,” jokingly remarking on her youthful appearance. Parker humbly laughed along, reflecting on her growth in the industry.
