Matthew Broderick shares insight into life with wife Sarah Jessica Parker as he reveals she really DOES have a Carrie Bradshaw wardrobe, their ravenous late-night snacking and the one regret with their kids
Matthew Broderick has shared some insight into his home life with his Sex And The City wife Sarah Jessica Parker in a new interview.
The Ferris Bueller's Day Off star, 63, who has been married to fellow actress Sarah, 60, since 1997, appeared on Jessie and Lennie Ware's Table Manners podcast on Wednesday.
Matthew revealed that his wife really does emulate her iconic character Carrie Bradshaw in some ways - particularly her love of clothes.
'Sarah has a bigger closet than mine,' he said, before admitting he had a touch of the fashion bug also - revealing he has a 'wall of shoes'.
'Mine is bigger than one might think,' he said. 'More shoes... I have a wall of shoes. I'm trying to tell you how big my wall of shoes is... like Goldie Hawn in Overboard.'
Elsewhere in the interview Matthew also lifted the lid on working with Sarah for the first time on their West End play and their ravenous late-night snacks at a London hot spot - as well as getting candid about his one regret with the couple's children James, 22, and 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.
The actor spoke about he and Sarah's West End play Plaza Suite, which ran for a 10-week run until April 2024.
'Me and my wife have never really worked together before, but [Plaza Suite] went very smoothly...' he admitted.
He enjoyed their time in the English capital so much that he was quick to say he would perform there again - and even hinted that there was a desire to live there.
He said: 'I would love that. I love being there [and I] always feel a little bit like an outsider.
'But that's nice in a way. I always say things a little wrong when I'm in England, like "I live three blocks away".'
However in a candid confession, Matthew revealed why the move wasn't possible.
'I think it would be great to live there,' he said. 'I always think about that. It [hasn't] been possible unless [the kids] wanted to really go to school there, which they didn't.
'We almost tried to do that for Plaza Suite, but it was their first year of high school, and they didn't want to get socially behind and disappear.'
During their time in London for the play, which was at the iconic Savoy, Matthew said they quickly found a favourite bar - and lifted the lid on their late-night feasts after performing.
'We would go afterwards up to the bar, whichever that one is called I forget,' he said. 'You go up some stairs and there's a beautiful piano bar where we went a lot. [It's like New York] That's why we ended up there. It felt like two blocks from where we grew up.
'We would be very hungry after the show, so we would get whatever they had. Everything was little - little sausages, little egg rolls, little lamb chops.
'We would nibble at all those things then get home and eat more because you're very hungry after a show.'
Matthew's insight into Sarah's closet comes after her fashion-related confession that she was in fact too busy to attend this year's Met Gala.
She has been a regular at the annual New York fashion event over the years and first attended in 1995.
But it was revealed she would not be there earlier this month because she has to fulfil some professional commitments.
'I have to work... but there's gonna be so much to see and I look forward to seeing what everybody does,' she told Entertainment Tonight.
'And I can't wait to see how they interpret the theme and the sort of homework they did for the assignment.'
The former Sex and the City star still 'cares' about the annual event - which acts as a fundraising festival held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan.
This year, the theme was Superfine, which celebrated black fashion from the 18th century.
She said: 'I care a lot about it and I want to try to really honour the work of the curators and everbody who sort of inspired the moment for those of us who get to attend.'

Mute Meadow: Will the broken artwork's lights ever come back on?
It was to be the near £1m piece of public art symbolising Londonderry's transition from a city of conflict to a capital of Meadow, a series of illuminated steel columns on the banks of the Foyle, was unveiled in since the lights went out more than a decade ago, its pillars have been left to gather its artists are calling for it to be repaired, restored and reinstated "for the people of the city". Vong Phaophanit, a Turner prize nominee and his co-creator, Claire Oboussier told BBC News NI it is "regrettable that no action has been taken" in the years since the lights went City and Strabane District Council, which manages the artwork, said design work for the repair has been is now underway to identify the required budget, the council cost has not been made Executive Office, owners of the Ebrington site on which it stands, "will consider a contribution" when it is made aware of the cost. What is Mute Meadow? Sitting at the Ebrington end of the city's Peace Bridge, Mute Meadow consists of 40 angled steel intention was that the steel pillars would be illuminated by LED projectors and lit up in the colours of the stain glass windows of the city's was designed to create a "vast field of light" across the River £800,000, and funded by Stormont, then Arts Minister Gregory Campbell said it would "place arts and culture at the centre of the city's regeneration".Maurice Devenney, Derry's then mayor, said then that it "reflects positively how the city is moving forward" as it prepared for its year as UK City of was at the time, the largest piece of public art on the island of Ireland. But right from the off it was dogged by problems. Within months of being switched on, the lights went out due to issues associated with the fabrication of the was fixed temporarily but by 2014, the lights had gone Meadow has by and large, remained in the dark ever since. 'Unfinished building site' It is now more like "an unfinished building site" than a million pound artwork, SDLP councillor Rory Farrell told BBC News NI."People don't know what it's meant to be, it is an eyesore," he a time when budgets are tight and a number of local groups have lost out on core funding, Farrell said he understands the repair work may not be everyone's priority."But I for one want to see this operational, it would add to out cultural offering and transform the landscape along the river," he said. What do people think of Mute meadow? The hundreds of people to cross the city's Peace bridge daily pass just yards from Mute Meadows' metal Froydenlund told BBC Radio Foyle he knows the nearby steel pillars are "some kind of sculpture".The cost seems "expensive" given it doesn't work, he said, adding "they should get it working". Maurice Hudson and Deirdre Watson from Belfast are staying in a hotel just a few hundred yards from Mute "had a clue" the artwork existed or what the steel columns are said there are other priorities "like the state of our national health service." Deirdre agreed, adding money could be spent "a better way, for things like housing".But Maurice added, when a lot of money has already been spent, the lights should be on."With the people of Derry/Londonderry not having to pay for the electric," Deirdre added. Billy Quigley tells the BBC he has "no idea" the steel beams at the end of the Peace bridge were intended to be a work of art."That is wasted money," he said, adding the money spent thus far could "have gone to better causes". 'Enduring contribution to the cityscape' In a statement, Phaophanit and Oboussier said there seemed to have been a lack of care around their artists hope that "proactive action" is taken to repair the piece and reinstate it for the city. Mute Meadow, the artists said, was "one of our most challenging and meaningful pieces of work to realise"."Our hope and intention was that it would make an enduring contribution to the Derry cityscape - a positive and peaceful space where people could gather, somewhere where Derry citizens could continue to develop a sense of collective belonging for years to come."The artists said they remain committed to help in any way they can. What next for Mute Meadow? The council said a concept design has been completed to restore the artwork's lighting."Council is currently working to identify adequate budget to deliver the works," a spokeswoman cost of those works is due to be presented to councillors in the coming months."Council will also continue to work with The Executive Office to find a lasting solution for the long-term future of the artwork."The Executive Office (TEO) said it is also supportive of the work needed to repair it."We understand a concept design exists for relighting the artwork and a cost estimate has been compiled. On receipt of costs from council we will consider a contribution," a TEO spokesperson said.

Ms Kucel said: "Underground Bar would ultimately offer a safe licensed space for people to enjoy music and social time as opposed to unregulated alternatives."Oxford is home to a diverse and vibrant late-night population including students, academics, local residents and visitors."She added that the bar would "provide and give the community a much-needed space where it is all about the music" and that it would "help diversify nightlife beyond traditional or chain venues". 'Amazing culture' City councillor Anna Railton welcomed the said: "Lots of people are dismayed at live music venues in our city being gradually lost."If you value things you've got to protect them and that is true for live music venues for all genres."It's part of this city's amazing culture and brings people together." The George Oxford Hotel, which has rooms on the upper floor, objected to the application over concerns about the impact it would have on Kucel co-ran Kiss Bar on Park End Street for 23 years, which closed last December, and hosted Goth night future of some other music venues is in doubt, with SJE Arts announcing its closure in June, and Oxford University's redevelopment plans potentially affecting Common Ground in Wellington Square.
