Matthew Broderick branded ‘average’ by wife Sarah Jessica Parker

Poor old Matthew Broderick , no man likes to be called ‘average’ by their wife, especially if she is calling you ‘average’ on a chat show viewed by millions!

Well that’s exactly what Sarah Jessica Parker did in a recent interview on The Late Show With David Letterman!!

Of course she instantly blushed and started frantically backtracking insisting that she meant the actor was only average in height!! Oh! well that’s ok then!

The SATC star made the comment after describing her 7 year old son James Wilkie as being “on the diminutive side”  claiming he takes after his father.  Sarah Jessica said: “He’s not quite tiny – that’s on my husband’s side – well, actually Matthew is average… not in personality or in intellect…. no, no, no, no, no.”

Laughing at herself but clearly embarrassed she continued digging herself a adequately sized hole: “Let me clear this up. For the record, not in personality, intellect, charisma, talent, genuine likeability, well the list could go on and on…..Anyway he’s average in height as I understand so the odds of our son being average in height and weight is perhaps promising.”

Sarah Jessica boasted of her son’s acceptance into the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology leaving it wide open for  Letterman to quickly reply “Even with an average father.”

The actress cringed “How am I ever gonna fix this?” err, not sure you can Sarah, we would have loved to be a fly on the wall when you got home though!!

Matthew, who has been married to the star for 13 years measures in at 5ft 8in with tiny Sarah Jessica at 5ft 3in.
