Blindsided John Corbett reacts to ‘And Just Like That’ cancellation — and reveals his true feelings about Carrie and Aidan
NY Post
John Corbett was blindsided by “And Just Like That” being canceled.
“I was as shocked as anybody that the show ended because when I finished my work on it, there was two or three episodes left to go that I didn’t get the scripts for them,” Corbett, who played Carrie’s beau Aidan Shaw in “Sex and the City” and its sequel series, told The Post while promoting his new film, “Soul on Fire.”
“So I didn’t know what the story was going to be,” the actor, 64, added. “So I watched them with joy. I’m just such a fan of everybody on that show. I loved watching it.”
Corbett noted that he’s “sad” the series isn’t continuing, especially because he feels close to all his former co-stars.
“I just love them all, My ‘Sex and the City’/’And Just Like That’ family so much,” he said. “But I was as shocked as anybody when, no one calls me up and says, ‘Hey, we’re going to not pick it up.’ I found out just like everybody else. And I was bummed out that it’s not going to continue.”
Corbett joined the sequel cast in Season 2 when Aidan and Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) got back together. He made his last appearance on the show three episodes before the series finale when Carrie finally breaks up with Aidan and chooses the single life.
