Accustomed to the Sex and the City star usually posing with her twin daughters, Tabitha (16) and Loretta (16), James's presence has caused a great social stir due to his great physical attractiveness. He has longer hair, his physique is the result of numerous gym sessions, and he has much clearer and smoother skin. Additionally, he was very elegant in a black tuxedo with a large flower on the lapel.
It is evident that, by taking after his parents seriously, the young man has decided to take care of himself one hundred percent, as in this industry image is everything. Just ask Sarah Jessica Parker herself.
As expected, James sparked passions among onlookers, who did not hesitate to compliment him. One user wrote "definitely has that Parker-Broderick charm," and another "is a very good mix of both."
In May 2025, James graduated in Classics and Acting from the prestigious Brown University, which belongs to the elite Ivy League. On that special day, while wearing his cap and gown, the young man was surrounded by his entire family.
Despite attending a very expensive university and his parents having a combined fortune of $245 million, James already knows what it means to earn a living from the ground up. For a year, he worked at the New York boutique Reiss and also as a waiter at the Main Street Tavern in Amagansett, East Hampton, not far from the $29.9 million summer mansion his parents own in Bridgehampton.
Although James had it easy from the start, he always made it clear that he did not want to be labeled as a nepo baby in case he wanted to be an actor, as he first wanted to academically educate himself and gradually make his way. 2024 was his year, as he starred in the TV miniseries The Lady of the Lake and acted alongside his father in one of the episodes of Elsbeth, currently airing on Movistar Plus+.
Regarding this experience, Matthew Broderick shared on the E! show that it had been "great" and "a lot of fun" to be near the craft table and eat snacks. He was nervous, but he overcame it. We had a couple of great days." In film, he appeared in the movie Days Ending in Y.
Sarah Jessica has explained on more than one occasion how they raise their children, stating that "you want them to pursue things that are exciting, challenging, difficult and rewarding, and that they can take care of themselves, be emotionally, financially stable, and be in the world and be a reliable person for themselves and others."
