The 'Divorce' actress says she used to wonder if her character Carrie Bradshaw's three friends were just figures of Carrie's imagination.

AceShowbiz - Sarah Jessica Parker has a mind-blowing theory about "Sex and the City" that will make you never be able to watch the show the same again. During a visit to Chris Hardwick's Nerdist podcast this week, the actress revealed that she used to think that Carrie Bradshaw's three best friends were just imaginary figures from her character's column.
"I used to wonder if Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda were real," she told Hardwick, and explained, "They're such perfectly archetypal characters. So you're writing a column about sexual politics and observations of female/male, primarily, heterosexual relationships, so you're picking one type. You're saying 'this type is this and this,' and then you complicate it more, like any good writer does."
"So I'm not entirely sure they are real," she added. "What we are seeing isn't necessarily what happened in New York City."
So, basically SJP suggests that Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) are just representatives of different archetypes of women and their kids and love lives are not real.
This theory, of course, shocks "SATC" fans. One person tweeted, "Woahh. My favorite show of all time might be very meta." Another commented, "Oh wow @SJP just blew my mind."
