Sarah Jessica Parker's Unease with Fans' Touch

New York City, USATue Oct 08 2024
Sarah Jessica Parker, known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, has had a long and successful career in Hollywood. While she enjoys the attention from fans, there's one thing that still makes her uncomfortable. In a chat with the Herald Sun in 2019, she revealed that being touched by strangers without their consent bothers her. Parker started her career at a young age and has gotten used to being recognized on the streets of New York City. However, the rise of selfie culture has led to fans grabbing her for photos, which she finds unsettling. She prefers having a conversation with fans instead of just taking a quick picture. Living in New York City, where public interaction is common, Parker often encounters fans. Unlike her character Carrie Bradshaw, who rarely took the subway, Parker uses it frequently. She finds it the most efficient way to get around the city. Other celebrities have also spoken out about the sometimes aggressive nature of fans. While Parker is happy to take pictures with fans, she values a respectful approach.
