SEX and the City fans, Sarah Jessica Parker just dropped a revelation bigger than the recent fan theory about Olivia Newton John's character in Grease - and it's a lot to comprehend.
The actress, who played Carrie Bradshaw on the hit six-season HBO owned series, exposed the game-changer while conversing with Chris Hardwick on his Nerdist podcast in the US. In the most unplanned manner, SJP confessed that she assumed all along that her three famous buddies were just figures of Carrie's fantasy - a "literary conceit."

"I used to wonder if Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda were real," she mused about her on-screen BFFs, while TV host and comedian Hardwick lost his mind.
"That that wasn't just her column ... because 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 actually real," the 51-year-old concluded.
In short, SJP believes that each of the 94 beloved episodes of SATC might have been based on what Carrie was writing about.
"She is among them because that's her way of infiltrating story and affecting the story too, to have her own actions affect those friendships and document their response," the actress said.
"What we are seeing isn't necessarily what happened in New York City."
With justification, the self-identified Samanthas, Mirandas, and Charlottes out there: Turns out you have really been Carries all along. Go ahead and adjust your self-conception as needed.
