It looks like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's children are catching and embracing the acting bug just like their parents, based on their son's newest life update.
Sarah, 59, and Matthew, 62, share three children: their oldest, son James Wilkie Broderick, who is now 21, and their twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, who will turn 15 next month.
James is quite active on social media, boasting over 28,000 followers, and often shares updates on his daily life and interests, and revealed he's actually making his way into acting as well.
The young star boasts a credit in the 2024 miniseries Lady in the Lake, and shared on social media that he's now entering the theater space, working with the Quick & Dirty Theatre Company in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
James most recently joined the company for a night of one-act play readings, pictured going shirtless while commanding the room with his co-stars, definitely coming across as a sprightly mix between his famous parents.

Patrick has maintained a life away from the spotlight just like his big brother (they also have another brother, Thomas), who was most recently seen at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of the Yorgos Lanthimos film Kinds of Kindness. Patrick has been associated with the theater company, by the looks of it, since last December.

James is a student at Brown University, majoring in Classics and also listing himself professionally as an actor. However, he did admit recently that he found it rather odd to watch his own parents on the screen at times.

"I tried to watch the new one and I liked it but then I felt weird, 'cause I haven't watched the original," he explained. "It felt a little weird to be watching the newer one having not watched it, even if it's accessible."

People ask like, 'Oh, is that awkward for you? There's like a lot of [risqué] scenes.' That's not that big of a deal for me. I think I just was a little too young before."
