Sarah Jessica Parker goes unfiltered on her character in 'Sex and the City'

Sarah Jessica Parker isn't a fan of her onscreen character in Sex and the City.

The actress, who played Carrie Bradshaw in the show and then reprised her role in And Just Like That, made an appearance in a recent episode of Call Her Daddy podcast.

Parker made the admission when host Alex Cooper asked her if she rewatched SATC to prepare for the sequel series.

“I've never seen most of it. I’ve never watched the show,” Parker revealed. She recalled watching it “in the beginning” receiving dailies and rough cuts from the studio for some time initially before she “finally begged off.”

Parker remembered producer and director Michael Patrick King telling her, “You’ve gotta watch. You've got to give me notes. You've got to watch it,” but she couldn't comply.

“I realised that I wasn't being helpful because it was so unpleasant for me to watch myself that I couldn't see the work, and that's not a good producing partner,” she admitted.

She was “able to be a partner in lots of other ways,” but by season 2, “I wasn’t watching at all.”

Parker admitted she did make an exception for the series at one point, which led her to realise the cultural impact of the series.

“I saw the final episode ever because Michael had a screening of it live, as it was happening live,” she said of the season 6 series finale, titled "An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)".

She called the screening “incredible” and said it was the “only time” that she understood the cultural impact of the series, “because we had been so purposely cloistered from chatter.”

Parker also reprises the character in two movies, 2008’s Sex and the City and 2010’s Sex and the City 2.
