Sarah Jessica Parker Addresses That Time John Corbett Lied About Joining And Just Like That…

glamour.com:

Sex and the City, actor John Corbett is a gentleman…with a sense of humor. star Sarah Jessica Parker recently revealed that he reached out to her after, uh, lying about his role in the reboot.Back in April 2021, when basically everyone who'd ever appeared on HBO was being asked about their involvement in the buzzy new series, Corbett gave an exclusive: “I’m going to do the show,” he said, calling it ”very exciting" and predicting that he “might be in quite a few” episodes.Now, if you haven't watched AJLT, minor spoiler: There's no Aidan.

Natasha comes back. Bitsy Von Muffling comes back. But Aidan Shaw, last seen in the second movie, is not mentioned. As show runner Michael Patrick King , there was already a lot going on for Carrie in the season, so there were never any plans to include Aidan.

In other words, it's not like Corbett thought he was in the show and then got edited out. He was straight-up lying. And maybe helping the show keep its plot under wraps with a misdirect?

Four-dimensional chess right here.Now, if you were paying attention at the time you might have noticed that the very same day that Corbett spoke to Page Six with the actor.
