Sarah Jessica Parker has hit the promotional trail for the second season of the Sex And The City reboot series And Just Like That…
Six days after the new season premiere on HBO Max, the leading lady opened up about plastic surgery and ageism in Hollywood during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday.
After sharing her story on how she landed the part to star alongside Steve Martin in the satirical romantic comedy film L.A. Story, Stern pressed Parker about whether she sees ‘a good-looking human being’ when she looks in the mirror.
‘I’m presentable,’ the actress replied honestly, before revealing, ‘I don’t really like looking at myself. I think I’m fine.’
The host then asked about whether she considers doing ‘a facelift, botox, and all this other s**t, which she quickly responded by confessing, ‘I think about all of it. I ask people all the time, is it too late?’ she said.

Stern followed up by asking directly asking if she had ever decided she needed to take the plunge and get plastic surgery.
‘No,’ Parker, 58, said, before admitting she does indulge in treatments from a dermatologist, which includes skin peel, for which she gives a demonstration with her hands.
‘I’ll do any of that stuff,’ she confessed, and then make an open admission.
‘I honestly think I missed out on the facelift, the old-fashioned good one that you have when you’re 44,’ Parker says, for which Stern disagrees.
‘You think you should have done it? he asks of Parker, who responds by gesturing she wasn’t so sure she should have gone through with it.
‘I’ve seen some horror stories lately. I don’t know. I’m glad you didn’t do it, Stern told her, while show co-host Robin Quivers could be heard laughing in the background.
The Sex and the City alum said she doesn’t begrudge people for getting things like Botox and other cosmetic procedures due to the stigmas surrounding beauty and aging.
‘I do understand why people make the choice because there is so much emphasis put on primarily women about looks,’ she said.

Parker then recalled back when And Just like That… premiered a couple years ago, that there ‘were so many endless articles about aging, and aging gracefully. and Sarah Jessica’s hair is gray.’
‘First of all it’s not, but who cares,’ she said. ‘I’m sitting next to Andy Cohen, whose head is covered in gray hair, and you’ve not mention that at all. So I understand why women feel like there is so much chatter, peripheral opinions. I don’t think it’s wrong. I think people should do whatever they feels makes them walking out the door, frankly.
Set 11 years after the events of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, the women of And Just like That… make their transition from a life of liberation and friendship in their 30s to a more complicated reality of life and friendship in their 50s.
