Sarah Jessica Parker has given countless interviews in her life, but it was only when she stopped by a friend’s show that she confirmed a rumor that has been circulating for decades. On Watch What Happens Live this week, the star of And Just Like That… revealed that after filming the 1992 comedy Honeymoon in Vegas, she had a fleeting romance with her costar Nicolas Cage.
Cage, for his part, has also confirmed their affair, explaining that there may have been one specific obstacle in their way. “I cared about Sarah, but I don’t think I passed the ‘mom test,’” he told E! News on Monday. “I recall sitting down with her and her mother for dinner at the Russian Tea Room, and I don’t know if it was my blue Vanson Leather motorcycle jacket (which I still have) or my sinusitis, but I didn’t hear from her again.”
The Sex and the City actor also told her friend Andy Cohen that she knew her husband, Matthew Broderick, would be her partner as soon as she spent time with him. “I remember I had to leave to go on location to shoot a movie, and we were on East 10th Street,” she said on Watch What Happens Live. “I was getting in a car to go away for a while. I remember thinking, I think I love him. Should I say it? Because neither one of us had said it yet.” She added that she did say the words to Broderick first. The pair married in 1995, and are undoubtedly one of the most solid couples in Hollywood.
Parker also recently went on the podcast Call Her Daddy, where she explained to host Alex Cooper that she had a demanding time when people started criticizing her physical appearance in the wake of Sex and the City’s success. There was a lot of talk about “my physical person,” Parker said. “Like stuff that I couldn’t change, and wouldn’t change, and had never considered changing, or even still after hearing something that was like, ‘What? Somebody would say that?’ [I] even still [had] no interest in changing it.
“I didn’t feel like it was actually a conversation. I didn’t feel like I could sit in a room, and someone would say to me, ‘You’re really unattractive.’ And then I could say, ‘Wow, um, well first of all, that’s hard to hear. But second of all, why do you seem angry about it?’ Or, ‘Why do you feel it’s necessary to say it?’” Parker added, looking visibly embarrassed.
