Matthew Broderick wants to work with wife Sarah Jessica Parker again after it all went “very smoothly” the first time round.
Matthew Broderick wants to work with Sarah Jessica Parker again.
The 63-year-old actor has been married the ‘Sex and the City’ star, 60, since 1997 but even though they had never appeared in anything together until they starred in a revival of the classic play ‘Plaza Suite’ in Lonon’s West End last year, he recalled that the whole thing went “very smoothly” in the end.
Speaking on the ‘Table Manners’ podcast, he told hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware: “I did enjoy it, it was very enjoyable, it’s a very funny old play I think. And me and my wife have never really worked together before, but that went smoothly. Maybe [we’ll do it again], I’d like to. I love being in London.”
The ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ star – who has James, 22, as well as 15-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha with his wife – recalled being “very hungry” every time they had finished a performance at the Savoy Theatre but recalled that everything on offer to them was all very small.
She said: “We would be very hungry after the show, so we would get whatever they had. It was all little things, little sausages and little egg rolls. Even the lamb chop was about an inch long. And we would nibble at all those things and then get home and eat more as I recall, because you’re very hungry after a show.”
Matthew admitted that when it comes to his diet when he is working on stage, he is “not very careful” about what he eats and drinks even though he knows a lot of people in the industry who are.
He said: “I’m not very careful about that. But I certainly know a lot of people about her. Somebody asked [Broadway actress] Ethel Merman what she did to warm up and she said ‘That’s why they wrote the first number!’
