It’s a child boom for those headed for Sex and the City! Just a few months after Sarah Jessica Parker welcomed her twins, via surrogate, Willie Garson announced he has adopted an 8 year old son. Willie plays Stanford Blatch, Carrie’s best gay friend in the Sex and the City franchise.
Garson explained that though he was at first hoping to adopt a younger child, he was just taken by his son to be, Nathan, at an adoption fair in Los Angeles.
“It’s like a pet fair – as horrifying as you can imagine,” he recalls. “It was really hard. The 16-year-old fat, ugly kid, who has probably been to 30 of these, knows he’s not going to get adopted. Like everything, cute wins.”
“I couldn’t believe my kid was actually available for adoption,” says the doting dad. “He’s so cute and sweet.”
How horrifying that must have been to be a kid at one of those adoption fairs! I can’t even imagine what must be going through their minds.
As for what their new life together will be like, now that they will be moving to New York City?
“I think he’s going to be freaked out when we go to New York, where [the SATC cast] are like the Yankees,” jokes Garson. “We can’t walk 20 feet without being mobbed.”
And with filming starting later this year, I’m sure little Nathan will get a full dose of what it’s like to have his dad being in one of the most famous movies in New York!
Congratulations to the new father and son.
