Sarah Jessica Parker is one busy lady! In addition to shooting the second ‘Sex and the City’ movie, she has a new film about to hit theaters with Hugh Grant as her co-star. It’s called ‘Did You Hear About The Morgans,’ and it’s a romantic comedy about a couple who end up in the witness protection program in Wyoming.
Although Sarah and Hugh had worked together before, on a thriller called ‘Extreme Measures’ in 1996, Hugh and the director for this film had worked together three times before. Entertainment Weekly wondered if Sarah experienced any hazing as a result.
Sarah Jessica Parker: They were very hospitable. If there was a hazing process it was very subtle.
Hugh Grant: She was allowed to eat lunch at the same table, but not [right next to us].
Sarah and Hugh also dished on their on-set quirks.
Grant: She likes to be doing her BlackBerry all the time. During takes. I’ve never seen Black-Berrying like it.
Parker: Yours was smaller so it was less obvious.
Grant: I need to be cheered up, but she’s very good at that. I’m Mr. Grumpy Pants. She’s never grumpy. Except that one day she got grumpy.
Parker: Hugh sets the table like “I’m grumpy. I’m difficult. I’m gloomy. I’m bitter.” Maybe bitter is not a word you use…
Grant: Actually not. Thank you.
And how is Sarah dealing with promoting this film while also filming ‘Sex and the City’?
This is so much more relaxing. I feel in some way I know this situation better than whatever
madness we’ve been experiencing on the streets for the last 10 days. There’s just so much peripheral stuff with that movie.
EW: You mean the paparazzi around Sex and the City?
Parker: It drives me crazy. It’s just very hard to get a day’s work done and concentrate. But, you know, what are you gonna do?
Grant: All of New Mexico was completely pap free.
I bet it was! You can read more excerpts from the interview here and even see video from their cover shoot here.
Are you looking forward to ‘Did You Hear About The Morgans’? I bet it’s hilarious!

Grand. If there’s one word I hate, it’s grand. It’s so phony. For a second, I was tempted to tell her to forget about the matinee. But we chewed the fat for a while. That is, she chewed it.

I LOVED SJP but her roles in movies POST Sex and the City show have been so disappointing!

I really like them both and this looks like a fun movie.
