Matthew Broderick jokes about refusing Sex and the City cameo as the premature ejaculator

Matthew Broderick had no desire to become the next  Mr.Big.The 62-year-old actor revealed why he never appeared in “Sex and the City” despite his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, being the show’s star during its six seasons from 1998 to 2004.While appearing on Thursday episode of SiriusXM’s “This Life of Mine with James Corden” podcast, host James Corden asked Broderick, “Is it true that there was a moment or there were multiple times that you were asked to play a part in ‘Sex and the City’ and you opted not too?”“It’s a little bit true,” Broderick admitted.
