Sex and the City star Gilles Marini says it’s time for And Just Like That ‘to go’

BBG News

Actor Gilles Marini, known for his role on Sex and The City, aligns with those viewers who believe that the spinoff series, titled And Just Like That, ought to conclude.

In the 2008 film adaptation of Sex and the City, a 49-year-old French actor made his significant debut, playing the role of Dante – a charismatic neighbor of Samantha Jones (played by Kim Cattrall) who attracted much attention.

In an interview with The US Sun this week, he commented on the HBO spinoff by saying, “Things need their own pace. They rise, then they fall. We must discern and comprehend when it’s appropriate to move forward.

He proposed, “Perhaps adopting the perspective of one of the characters from Sex and The City, yet creating something distinctly unique. It would be great if someone could introduce something entirely fresh, utterly unlike anything seen before in the storyline. Essentially, it should feel like the narrative has been broken apart and reassembled.

Marini pointed out that the program might benefit from becoming even more relatable: “Something that resonates with today’s audience. People adored this series due to its relatability, and it would be great if we could make it more universal.

Viewers of And Just Like That season 3 were enraged after watching episode eight last week, claiming that the main characters were trying to outdo each other in terms of being the most foolish.

In my professional perspective as a lifestyle guide, I’d say this: “In an episode titled ‘Happily Ever After,’ I found myself reminiscing about Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) rekindling her relationship with Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) teetering on the edge of a potential alcohol relapse.

Despite taking note of criticism from fans, he expressed his desire to listen to opinions from people who haven’t watched Sex and the City.

Although he had ideas about what adjustments the new series could benefit from, he expressed that he wouldn’t mind acting in it if given the opportunity.

If I receive the call, I wouldn’t hesitate but rush to answer it. Indeed, one of the most extraordinary experiences I’ve had in my lifetime is participating in Sex and the City.

Gilles also address Cattrall’s decision not to return to the small screen as Samantha.

Everyone has their unique preferences. At times, a person might initiate an activity but once completed, may choose not to engage further.

In summary, considering all that she’s accomplished in her career, there’s nothing she lacks. It’s entirely her choice, he concluded.

He acknowledged the opportunities that appearing in the movie have afforded him.

The muscular statue depicted a quote from Michael Patrick King, the film director, who said, “When the movie releases, nothing about your life will remain the same, and your phone won’t stop ringing.” At first, I was puzzled as to why he would say that. Now, I understand why he made such a statement.

To start, Marini gained experience as both a baker and a firefighter, then he relocated to the U.S., launching a modeling career there.

Following the success of the Sex and the City movie, he received an invitation to join the eighteenth season of Dancing with the Stars.

In partnership with Cheryl Burke, he finished second in the competition and received an invitation for a return appearance during the fifteenth season, eventually securing the sixth spot.

On Monday the 21st of July, he honored the late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show, who tragically passed away due to drowning in Costa Rica on the previous day at the age of 54.

Posting this picture, he commented, ‘He brightened countless lives with his kindness, thoughtfulness, and vibrant spirit.’

It’s tough to accept that he’s no longer here. The memories of our times together – the laughs, chats, and unspoken connections – will forever remain etched in my mind.

In my heartfelt sympathy, I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known him. May the beautiful memories of him bring comfort, and may his soul find eternal peace.
