Sarah Jessica Parker leaves fans FLABBERGASTED with return as Sex and the City's Carrie
SARAH JESSICA PARKER left viewers in a complete tizzy during last night’s Super Bowl commercial break, as she suddenly brought back her iconic Sex and the City character Carrie Bradshaw in a hilarious Stella Artois advert.

Sex and the City fans were devastated when the original cast, including 53-year-old actress Sarah, revealed the much-anticipated third movie in the franchise wasn’t going to come to pass.
While the hugely-popular 90s series went on to birth two big-screen sequels, the cast insisted they were done with the world of Carrie and her friends.
But that was not to be, as Sarah decided to give fans a tiny glimmer of hope in an unexpected appearance last night.
The star strode through a Stella Artois advert in the sports event’s commercial break, bringing her beloved character back to life.
“Hello, good to see you again,” a barman gushed, giving the regular punter a broad grin.
“Likewise,” Carrie crooned, dressed to the nines in a figure-hugging glittering dress.
“Cosmopolitan?” the waiter asked presumptuously, but was knocked for six when the character went for a totally different option instead.
“No, tonight I’ll have a Stella Artois,” Carrie said after a moment’s pause, and the staff crashed to the floor in a disaster.
The clip then took an even stranger turn when Hollywood star Jeff Bridges suddenly breezed through the door.
“Wild night huh?” he asked easily, spotting the broken glass.

Once more, the bartender guessed the regular would choose his classic cocktail the White Russian, but Jeff decided to echo Carrie’s decision.
“No Gary,” he said. “Give me a Stella Artois.”
Wanting in on the fun, Carrie giggled and leaned over to speak to her neighbour.
“Excuse me, good choice,” she praised, as Jeff shrugged his shoulders in response.
“Well, changing can do a little good, I’m biased,” he replied, as the brand’s logo “change up the usual” suddenly flashed across the screen.
Taking to Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts on the sudden sighting.
“Jeff Bridges & Sarah Jessica Parker’s #SuperBowl #Ad #StellaArtois was definitely the best! Loved seeing them bring back their iconic characters #Carrie #TheDude,” one person wrote.
Another exclaimed: “Sarah Jessica Parker in two commercials tonight! @AshCush #SBLlll #SuperBowl #SuperBowl53.”
“@StellaArtois Okay, you made Sarah Jessica Parker ditch her Cosmopolitan and Jeff Bridges ditch his White Russian for a beer? This beer needs to be REALLY good! #GCMSBP #SuperBowl,” a third joked.
While a fourth commented: “@StellaArtois with Jeff Bridges and Sarah Jessica Parker was the most entertaining and my favourite. @budlight unsurprisingly delivered. But @TMobile texting ads have been really smart and the most effective. #Superbowlcommericals #SuperBowl2019 #superbowl.”
“Sarah Jessica Parker looking good. #SuperBowl,” another fan added simply.
