Los Angeles, June 11 (NationPress) Hollywood actress Sarah Jessica Parker has opened up about her decision to decline fan requests for selfies. She believes in cherishing the moment rather than just capturing it.
The star of Sex and the City elaborated on her reluctance to fulfill these requests during an interview on The Howard Stern Show, which was released on YouTube on June 10.
Parker, 60, recounted a recent encounter at the airport where a fan approached her without a greeting, simply asking, 'Can I take your picture?'. She responded, 'We didn’t even meet. You didn’t even introduce yourself. What’s your name?'
Upon learning the fan’s name was Julie, Parker suggested they converse instead of taking a photo. 'I guarantee you it’s going to be so much more meaningful,' she explained. After a brief chat, she caught up with Julie once her family was settled with food.
Stern remarked, 'It’s like you’re a schoolteacher teaching everyone how to behave. It’s f** annoying, yeah?'. Parker clarified that while it can be startling when fans rush to take her picture, she prefers engaging in conversation first.
She stated, 'I always feel surprised when fans approach with a camera ready. I would much rather have someone introduce themselves like, 'Maybe this isn’t your best time, my name is Veronica, and I’m just excited to see you.'
