BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN
She’s known for her trademark curly
blonde locks, but did you know that
Carrie Bradshaw was originally going to
be a brunette? Producers made the call
to go blonde just 24 hours before the pilot
was ilmed, because Candace Bushnell
(the real-life Carrie) boasted lighter tresses!4
MUM’S THE WORD!
How could we forget that moment
in season six when Aidan (played
by John Corbett) turns around with an
adorable baby strapped to his chest? Well,
it turns out that the reason baby Tate was
so excited to see Carrie was because the
tot was actually played by SJP’s real-life
son, James Wilkie, who’s now 15.5
GOING POSTAL
We were all shocked by some of the
storylines during the show’s six-year
run, but did you know that they were all
based on the writers’ real-life sexploits?!
Yep, that sad dumping via Post-it Note
really happened!6
NOT THEIR FIRST CHOICE
You might remember the totally
awkward chat Carrie has with Matthew
McConaughey when she goes to LA in the
third season. Well, it turns out the actor
wasn’t the show’s irst choice for the cameo.
Alec Baldwin, George Clooney and Warren
Beatty were approached, but they all turned
down the role.7
SWEET SUCCESS

It turns out

dated Sex and the City author
Candace Bushnell for a year, sparking
the inspiration for the character.11
WONDER WOMAN
Her job might be to pose love dilemmas
in her witty and humorous way, but
have you ever wondered how many times
Carrie ‘couldn’t help but wonder’? Precisely
92 times, that’s how many.12
AND... CUT!
We’ve all seen the opening credits
for the show a million times, but
have you ever spotted the error? At irst,
the bus that splashes Carrie is full of
passengers, but seconds later it’s empty.
