With And just like that Currently presenting a show by itself, more people than ever, it seems, rewarching Sex and city. Among these people, of course, is Kristin Davis, including the Podcast Rewatch Are you a charlotte? is a bit of a feeling.

Those who return to the initial episodes are often surprised by the stylistic quirks of the first days of the show – in particular the interviews “Talking Head” with people in the street, and when the character of Sarah Jessica Parker, Carrie Bradshaw, “would regularly break the fourth wall” and go directly to the camera.

The subject resumed when John Benjamin Hickey stopped at the Davis studio this week to discuss his stay in the series as Thomas John Andersen, a playwright who comes out with Miranda from Cynthia Nixon, but has a lot of Catholic guilt on premunatic sex.

Davis reiterated that the main director of the Michael Patrick King and Parker series did not like the gadget.

“Sarah Jessica’s very open mission was to get rid of talking about the camera,” recalls Davis. “Because I remember in the pilot, she said,” You know, should I speak to the camera? It’s so strange to break the fourth wall. I am in this scene. “”

Davis explained that she “was not wrong” and that it was “a strange thing for an actor”, before sharing that Parker told her that she was “worried about Ferris Bueller, from which I had never thought”.

Of course, emblematic teenager Rascal Ferris Bueller was not the first character to speak directly to the camera, but the man who played him, Matthew Broderick, was Parker’s husband (then brand new). (This is now your signal to say “Aha!”)

Davis said that Parker “thought she was never going to be up to that, which is so adorable”.

Continuing to rent Parker (a common theme on this podcast!), Davis said: “I had never seen an actress being able to speak so clearly about what they wanted to do and what they did not want to do without being angry or other thing. Articulation very clearly why it was difficult for us, which was staying with us. Zinged,” not that someone is what I think here! ”
