“We were at lunch and there was a paparazzi, and she’s sitting next to me, white hair,” said Cohen, 55, of his own white hair. Speaking on The Drew Barrymore Show, he continued, “All the articles were ‘Sarah Jessica Parker, she’s going gray’ and ‘She looks old,’ and it was insanity.
Here she is sitting next to me, who’s gray, and people just missed the mark totally. It was so misogynistic.”
Parker then chatted with Vogue, where she discussed unforgiving individuals and their unattainable beauty standards.
“There’s so much misogynist chatter… I’m sitting with Andy Cohen, and he has a full head of gray hair, and he’s exquisite. Why is it okay for him?” Parker continues, “‘She has too many wrinkles, she doesn’t have enough wrinkles.’ It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly okay with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better.”
She adds, “I know what I look like. I have no choice. What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?”
Influential woman
In 2022, the Golden Globe-winning actor was named one of Time’s “100 most influential people in the world,” overshadowing her reputation as the “unse..xiest woman alive.”
Parker does not dress like Carrie, the star of the TV series, two films, and the remake And Just Like That, but she does own her own designer business, SJP, which began with shoes, unsurprisingly.
The star of Honeymoon in Vegas is also a TV producer, a co-founder of the spirit “The Perfect Cosmo by SJP” (Carrie’s favorite drink), and works in publishing, fragrances, and wine, to mention a few.
And just like that
Unlike Carrie and her fruitless search for romance, the Footloose star fell in love in the early 1990s with Matthew Broderick, the star of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
The lovely couple, who performed on Broadway together, married on May 19, 1997, and have been together ever since.
When pressed to explain his secret to a successful marriage, Broderick replied, “I don’t know the secret at all, but I, you know, I’m very grateful and I love her. It’s amazing. I mean, I can’t believe that it’s been that long. It doesn’t feel like it.”
The couple has three children: son James Wilkie (born 2002) and twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell, who joined the family in 2009 via surrogate.
The woman maintains a busy life and should be praised for her successes rather than criticized.
In real life, the actor admitted, “It’s not how I think of myself, and I think it’s probably the healthier approach.”
She continues, “It’s just not a reality – not when you have three kids, and you go to the market, and there are hungry people at home. You have a limited time to do it. There’s just no time to let vanity enter into that.”
