Austin Butler Recalls Watching ‘Sex in the City’ in the Bathtub to Prepare for ‘The Carrie Diaries’: ‘I Was Like a Middle-Aged Woman’
usmagazine.comTeam Kyddshaw forever! Austin Butler has nothing but sweet words to say about his experience on the set of The CW’s The Carrie Diaries, which was a Sex and the City prequel series.“I have so many fond memories of that time because that was when I first moved to New York,” the Elvis star, 31, recalled on the Friday, February 17, episode of Variety’s “Awards Circuit” podcast. “I never lived in New York before and I was able to move to New York for two years and make that show.
It was that and getting to be around AnnaSophia [Robb], everybody in that show, [they were] just so fun to be around, even just going back and watching Sex and the City.”Butler continued: “I remember having an apartment in New York, I’d take a bath and I’d pop on Sex and the City.
I was like a middle-aged woman [with] a glass of wine [and] always candles.”The Switched at Birth alum — who rose to fame acting on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel — landed the role of Sebastian Kydd on The Carrie Diaries opposite Robb, now 29, in 2013.
