Matthew Broderick has shared some insight into his home life with his Sex And The City wife Sarah Jessica Parker in a new interview.
The Ferris Bueller's Day Off star, 63, who has been married to fellow actress Sarah, 60, since 1997, appeared on Jessie and Lennie Ware's Table Manners podcast on Wednesday.
Matthew revealed that his wife really does emulate her iconic character Carrie Bradshaw in some ways - particularly her love of clothes.
'Sarah has a bigger closet than mine,' he said, before admitting he had a touch of the fashion bug also - revealing he has a 'wall of shoes'.
'Mine is bigger than one might think,' he said. 'More shoes... I have a wall of shoes. I'm trying to tell you how big my wall of shoes is... like Goldie Hawn in Overboard.'
Elsewhere in the interview Matthew also lifted the lid on working with Sarah for the first time on their West End play and their ravenous late-night snacks at a London hot spot - as well as getting candid about his one regret with the couple's children James, 22, and 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion.
The actor spoke about he and Sarah's West End play Plaza Suite, which ran for a 10-week run until April 2024.
'Me and my wife have never really worked together before, but [Plaza Suite] went very smoothly...' he admitted.
He enjoyed their time in the English capital so much that he was quick to say he would perform there again - and even hinted that there was a desire to live there.
He said: 'I would love that. I love being there [and I] always feel a little bit like an outsider.
'But that's nice in a way. I always say things a little wrong when I'm in England, like "I live three blocks away".'
However in a candid confession, Matthew revealed why the move wasn't possible.
'I think it would be great to live there,' he said. 'I always think about that. It [hasn't] been possible unless [the kids] wanted to really go to school there, which they didn't.
'We almost tried to do that for Plaza Suite, but it was their first year of high school, and they didn't want to get socially behind and disappear.'
During their time in London for the play, which was at the iconic Savoy, Matthew said they quickly found a favourite bar - and lifted the lid on their late-night feasts after performing.
'We would go afterwards up to the bar, whichever that one is called I forget,' he said. 'You go up some stairs and there's a beautiful piano bar where we went a lot. [It's like New York] That's why we ended up there. It felt like two blocks from where we grew up.
'We would be very hungry after the show, so we would get whatever they had. Everything was little - little sausages, little egg rolls, little lamb chops.
'We would nibble at all those things then get home and eat more because you're very hungry after a show.'
Matthew's insight into Sarah's closet comes after her fashion-related confession that she was in fact too busy to attend this year's Met Gala.
She has been a regular at the annual New York fashion event over the years and first attended in 1995.
But it was revealed she would not be there earlier this month because she has to fulfil some professional commitments.
'I have to work... but there's gonna be so much to see and I look forward to seeing what everybody does,' she told Entertainment Tonight.
'And I can't wait to see how they interpret the theme and the sort of homework they did for the assignment.'
The former Sex and the City star still 'cares' about the annual event - which acts as a fundraising festival held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan.
This year, the theme was Superfine, which celebrated black fashion from the 18th century.
She said: 'I care a lot about it and I want to try to really honour the work of the curators and everbody who sort of inspired the moment for those of us who get to attend.'
