Sarah Jessica Parker recently spoke to HuffPost U.K. and reflected on all the backlash her iconic "Sex and the City" character Carrie Bradshaw has received over the years.
"It's always interesting to me that [Carrie is] so condemned, but a male lead on a show can be a murderer, and people love him. If a woman has an affair, or behaves poorly, or spends money foolishly, there's a kind of punitive response to it," said Jessica Parker as quoted by Variety.
Parker said that when it comes to the constant romantic misadventures of Carrie Bradshaw, viewers should remember "that smart people make bad decisions sometimes [and] are foolish in judgment," as quoted by Variety.
"I think, fundamentally, Carrie is an extraordinarily decent and good person - an extremely devoted friend, she's generous of spirit and time, in all she has to offer," said Parker as quoted by Variety.
Parker added, admitting that, of course, Carrie has "made mistakes" or "not been mature in love."
Parker currently stars as Carrie Bradshaw on the third season of "And Just Like That." New episodes premiere on Thursdays on Max. (ANI)

The Naked Gun trailer: Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson go on a wild ride in this slapstick comedy reboot. Watch
Paramount Pictures has released the much-anticipated trailer for the upcoming reboot of the classic comedy Naked Gun, set for release on August 1.

(Also read: Pamela Anderson breaks silence on her dramatic Met Gala hair transformation: 'It wasn't about…') In this reimagined version of the iconic film series, Neeson's character follows in his father's comedic footsteps, bringing his own brand of misadventure and slapstick humour to the screen. Directed by Akiva Schaffer, known for his work on Saturday Night Live and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, the film promises to deliver the same absurd and chaotic comedy that made the original Naked Gun series a fan favourite. The star-studded cast also includes Pamela Anderson, who is returning to the spotlight as part of the film's ensemble, as well as Paul Walter Hauser, who plays the son of Captain Ed Hocken (George Kennedy) from the original films. Other cast members include CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, and Danny Huston, with additional appearances from Eddie Yu. Written by Dan Gregor, Doug Mand, and Schaffer, the new 'Naked Gun' film promises to stay true to the slapstick style of its predecessors. The original trilogy, which reportedly grossed over USD 216 million worldwide, was known for its zany humour, outlandish gags, and the unforgettable character of Frank Drebin, a bumbling police detective who consistently found himself in outlandish situations. The franchise, which began with The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! in 1988, also spawned two sequels: The Naked Gun 2 1/2 : The Smell of Fear (1991) and Naked Gun 33 1/3 : The Final Insult (1994). Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guyand producer of Ted, serves as a producer for the reboot, bringing his sharp comedic sensibilities to the project. With Schaffer at the helm, audiences can expect a mix of absurd humour and a fast-paced, visual gag-filled narrative mirroring the charm of the original films. (ANI)

(Also Read: Amanda Seyfried recalls getting role offer in 'Guardians of the Galaxy') As quoted by Variety, in a recent interview, Amanda expressed her desire for original content, and said, "I think it's really scary and brave to do it. It's not scary and not very brave to do sequels. It's just for money, and it's frustrating." Amanda's comments come amid a summer blockbuster season filled with sequels, including James Gunn's Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth. Rachel Brosnahan, who stars as Lois Lane in the new Superman film, jokingly asked, "What's our Barbenheimer between Fantastic Four, Jurassic Park, and Superman?" Amanda responded with humour, "It's Fantastic Super-park. It's Four Superparks. Four Dinosaurs. Four Super Dinosaurs. I don't know!" as quoted by Variety. Despite her criticism of sequels, Amanda has starred in several herself, including Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and Ted 2. However, she clarified that she would eagerly participate in Mamma Mia 3 if given the chance. Seyfried is also working on a potential Jennifer's Body sequel with Megan Fox, but emphasised that she won't do it without her co-star. Rachel shared her thoughts on sequels and said that she would return for a Superman sequel. "Yeah, I'd come back. We had a great time. There are also so many people in this cast whom I didn't get to work with," she said. She also commented on the trend of actors complaining about superhero movies after joining them, and said, 'Do it or don't do it, and then stand by it.' Meanwhile, Superman is set to open on July 11.
