ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「John Corbett was not always comfortable being defined by his role as Aidan Shaw in “Sex and the City.” But he is reprising it in the HBO series “And Just Like That …” because, he said, “I’ve made friends with the idea of, This is just what I do.” Over the years, people have cornered Corbett on the street, at the grocery store and in coffee shops, to swear fealty to Aidan, the hunky furniture maker and the on-again, off-again, engaged-to, still-mostly-off-again love interest of Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw. Corbett came to acting late and more or less by accident. He has complicated feelings about performing even as he maintains, he said, a hands-off attitude to his career. To talk to him is to feel his deep ambivalence about his calling, his craft and the show that made him famous. In 2000, when he was first offered a role in the third season of “Sex and the City,” he turned it down. But once he was on set, the camera only magnified his charm. Aidan, a character designed to contrast Chris Noth’s withholding Mr. Big, was originally scheduled for just three episodes. Three episodes became four. Then five. Then more. When Carrie and Aidan broke up at the end of Season 3, fans sent HBO Popsicle-stick furniture demanding that Corbett be brought back, and he was. Corbett had what he wanted then: He was famous. But the fame, more intense than what he’d experienced on previous television shows, changed his life. And, he said, “not in the way that I wanted it to, workwise.” Now, he’s back as Aiden in “And Just Like That…” which returns for its second season on Thursday.
