Sarah Jessica Parker: Matthew Broderick's Furious at Attacks on Surrogate
Originally posted 05/21/2009 05:15PM
While Sarah Jessica Parker is worried about the safety of a surrogate mom carrying her twins, the actress says husband Matthew Broderick is reacting in a different way to the intense media attention and threats.
"He’s furious. He’s angry," the actress, 44, tells Access Hollywood.
The couple are also worried about how this is all affecting their son, James Wilkie.
"As a parent, it's so interesting how differently you function when you have a child," Parker says. "I have a responsibility to somebody far more important than myself. I look at his face and I think he can't, he doesn't need to know about this."
"He doesn't need to know what's upsetting me right now," adds the actress. "It does him no good. He can't help me. He will only worry."
