Sarah Jessica Parker's son wants to act

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that her eight-year-old son James Wilkie has expressed his desire to act.

The 46-year-old, who has three children James, and two-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha with actor husband Matthew Broderick, said he is eager to start auditioning.

"I don't want him to do it until after he goes to college," Parker told Parade magazine.

"But part of me thinks maybe it's better if he knows the truth now about how hard it is to be a working actor. I don't know if he grasps what it took to get us here," she added.
