“I used to smoke cigarettes, and I still do, lately. I gave that up a long time ago, but every now and then I will fall off for a week. [Sarah Jessica] is worse than me on that. And.. [son] James Wilkie is already curious. He’ll see a cigarette butt and say, 'What is that? Why do people smoke?' I can just see the little budding gene of a smoker in there.”
- Sarah Jessica Parker's husband, Matthew Broderick, tells New York magazine

FIRST!
umm…wow…."budding gene of a smoker"… why would u say that about your own son ?
cigs are gross
Kool
her son i hideous, like her
And this is amusing how?
QUE COMEMIERDA.
nmmm,,,
FIRST!
im a smoker , thats too bad the kids already wondering..
wow…intelligent.
That's bull shit! There is no smoker gene. Just addictive peronalities and shitty parenting! Way to set an example for your kid!
Smokers are some of the nastiest people on the face of the planet. It's a rude and selfish habit, and a shame that cancer takes so long to kill them.
Awww…how cute!! You should slap SJP around too so he can learn to wife beat. Then teach him to lie and steal. That's awesome. Matthew, you are still adorable and I will take you away from SJP in spite of this terrible, horrible thing you do!
maybe you shouldn't smoke in front of your kid that way his 'budding gene' won't erupt and you won't have a smoker
Wow, isn't that something to be proud of
stupid asshole
WAY TO DISCOURAGE IT MATT. EW.
lol, smoking is bad but it was just a little joke.
Hey, the more the merrier.
Dear Matthew Broderick: It's not a "budding smoker gene" moron, it's the bad example you and you're decrepit wife set for your son. A child looks up to their parents and wants to emulate them. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. STOP SMOKING A-HOLES!
Wow…that's just great. "Aww my boy's gonna be a little smoker when he grows up aww." lol. Wow.
sounds like the budding gene of a NON-smoker to me.
…hopefully
I'd make damn sure he took it up, then. Something to be proud of. Have some self control for the sake of your son.
my husband and i both smoke but it is usually when the kids are asleep inside and we are in the backyard.
we make an effort to not let them see us smoke because it really is a nasty habit.
im not sure we ever will but we make a point to tell the kids it is a very dirty habit that is hard to quit.
My son saw a no-smoking sign yesterday and said, "What's smoking?" I told him not to worry about it. Then he said, "Don't smoke it unless it's a BIG DEAL!" Ha!!! I agree.
WAT A TOOL…..SOUNDS LIKE HE IS PROUD HIS SON HAS A SMOKE GENE…..ASSHAT
He killed two people in Ireland, so obviously he doesn't have any serious concern for other humans.
SJP is a liar!! I saw her on Actor's Studio when SATC (TV) was at its prime. She said that she wasn't at all like her character, Carrie. I remember her saying that Carrie smokes and that she (SJP) did not.
He wants to be just like you daddy. Addiction is part of all of us. Some choose cigarettes, some choose exercise and some choose religion. Some choose love and some choose to convert others to fortify their own commitment to their addiction. Take responsibility for your addictions and don't corrupt your child's choices before he knows he has a choice.
So WTF how are we superior to him?Don't get it.He made a comment
its his business.He has a name he is talented and pple talk abt him.
WTH would the blogist write abt if it was not for the like of MB.BTW
SJP looks good in that picture.Have a good weekend everyone.
Is he trying to say he wants to derail his son from smoking or is saying it like oops, look what we did? it sounds like he's taking it lightly to me!
she's looks like Julia Roberts on this picture
Is it just me or does that kid like NEVER age?
that's really unfortunate.
hopefully they at least don't smoke in the house, where he has to breathe it. bleh
Re: heyya –
there's no gay gene either yet you wonder …
Growing up both my parents were smokers. My mom quit 8 years ago and my dad for the first time in his life, he's been smoking for more than 45 years, is trying to quit. Neither me or my brother have even thought of becoming a smoker… SJP's kid still has hope!
Taht's why you shouldn't smoke in front of your kids. Dads are rolemodels, act like it, Matthew!
Is that supposed to be cute or something? Seriously, don't smoke in front of your small kids.
Re: yo mo –
it's a shame because it's prevalent
the sad reality is that the kid is like 6 and by 12, he'll have plenty of experiences
the law of average says he's a possible smoker
Their little boy is so cute
Re: FUKNO –
if anything, i saw concern in his words and not encouragement ..
WINTER CLOTHES IN THE DEAD OF SUMMER..PEZ WHAT IS WRONG CAN'T GET CURRENT PIC…AND WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT HER SMOKING……CAN FIND ENOUGH GOSSIP….SO YOU DIG UP SHIT…….JESUS…..YOU'RE GETTING WATER DOWN JUICE….I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE IT …NOT ENOUGH GOSSIP AND WHEN YOU DO IT'S WAY TO LONG AND THE PICS ARE OLDER THAN GOD HIMSELF AND IT'S OLD NEWS….GET NEW STUFF PEZ
Thats something to proud of IDIOT!
Re: heyya –
how am I rude if I choose to smoke on the balcony of my own house? I should die of cancer? You're a total asshole - probably fat, ugly and miserable with your only semblance of life being a gossip site - why don't you go shoot yourself now
Geez, I really thought these people were intelligent. Wrong!
That's stupid to assume your kid will end up a smoker. I guess it's not in their plan to teach him that it is a bad habit and to try to avoid them?
Oh, c'mon people, back off…I get what he is saying…I smoked for 20 years and quit a year and a half ago - hardest thing I've ever had to do…I'm embarrassed that I STILL struggle with it, but I've somehow managed to stay smoke free…My little girl is 8 years old and she as never seen me smoke. I hid it from her because I never wanted her to see me - I was so ashamed. I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with cigs. Anyway, I asked her once if she thought smoking was cool, and without missing a beat, and in that innocent, honest way kids have, she quickly nodded her head and said, 'yes!' My heart sank. We have had many conversations about smoking and how bad it is for your health (how it killed my father), how gross it is, how it stinks…on and on - yet she sees movies and other outside influences that make it look cool to her, the way it looked cool to me when I was young. I couldn't wait to try cigs, I was so curious. So, she might have that curious 'smoker gene' too - my job is to keep on drilling home the negatives of smoking and pray it sinks in and she never starts…
Ugh, and that kid is so cute too.
Re: FUKNO –
You must read Jen Lancaster….asshat? I love it!
Ferris Bueller is a Dumb Ass!!!
What a great dad, grooming his son for the filthy habit of smoking that will inevitably damage his health. Lucky James!!
Truly sad

Gee wiz, why night stick a butt in his mouth and light it up - never too young to learn…real good example there dude…
Give the guy a break. It's a miracle anybody in the public eye bothers to give interviews; whatever they say gets so twisted. Broderick was just being honest. People do have faults. It doesn't mean he holds his son down and blows smoke in his face or forces the kid to drink vodka.
That kid looks like Cynthia Nixon, always had, since birth. I often wonder if she didnt give her the egg????
What a bullshitter like you. OH yeah you quit, for 10mins big fucking deal. Your poor kid has to deal with your second hand smoke not because he is curious as you claim but he is annoyed by it. Stuck with you in a car smelling your cigarette in 2nd hand clothing. NOT COOL. and you wearing all brand new dresses and when someone gave you a 2nd hand dress you BARKED!
Re: Mamar – She probably got addicted to it after pretending to smoke so long as Carrie.
I don't even care, she's so fabulous. And I think MB was joking.
and that…budding gene of a smoker in his son isn't enough inspiration to quit once and for all?
pathetic.
Nice.
Isn't it June in New York?
"What's that, daddy?"
"Well, son, that is a cigarette. I smoke them so I can get lung cancer and die a horrible death while you are still young!"
They have money, fame, a great life and yet they still put the cancer sticks in their mouths. I can't believe how stupid they are. I wonder if they smoke around the kid. If I had their kind of lifestyle with everything I could possibly want, I'd try to take care of myself so I could be around as long as possible to enjoy it.
Wow, Matthew — great example you & SJP are setting for James. What a-holes!
BEST REASON TO QUIT- YOUR CHILDREN ARE WATCHING YOU, LOOKING UP TO YOU AS A ROLE MODEL. IF YOU SMOKE, THEN IT MAKES SENSE THAT THEY WILL TOO. ANY OTHER BAD HABIT- YOU WOULD HIDE FROM YOU KIDS
Kurwa mach, this is a free country. A horse should be allowed to somke if it wants to.
wow that's not something I would be bragging about.
does her son ask, "mommy, why do you have a horseface? mommy, how does a no talent big nose get to be famous? is daddy an actor? why does he suck at all his parts, maybe even more than you?"
what a stupid bitch!
That's intelligence twofold: not only are they teaching their kid that smoking is OK just by way of doing it, and exposing him to it unnecessarily, but Matthew's father died from cancer at the age of 55. not sure if it was smoking related or not but DUH. Also if you quit for a long time and then start up again, it's worse for your lungs than smoking. You are destined to get lung cancer stopping and starting. That's what killed Peter Jennings. His doctors told the press that verbatim.
POOR CHILD NEEDS A HAIRCUT.
WHAT A CUTE LIL BOY! LOOKS LIKE BOTH OF THEM.
WHY DONT CELEBS EVER CUT THEIR KIDS HAIR? I THINK A SHORT BOY HAIRCUT WOULD LOOK GOOD ON THIS KID AND RYDER WHO AT 4 HAS SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR. MAYBE GOLDIES DAUGHTER WANTED A GIRL..
How about setting a good example and teaching him about the dangers of such a disgusting habit. Nice role models the kid has there. Jeesh!
Y THE LONG FACE???/……………HAHAHAHA…TICKLE ME ELMO…..LMFAO…..
Re JENST- Wow, Matthew — great example you & SJP are setting for James. What a-holes!*********************************************
and your setting a great example posting nonsense on a gossip blog.I think
the a hole is you not Matthew.
SJP and MB both suck ass. I hate them. I hate that they smoke in front of their child. Fucking Pathetic!
Aw, that's so sweet, just like his hero, Barrack Hussein Obama.
There are certain things you have to STOP when you have a kid and by no means am I perfect. noooo way… But when you start saying shit like that "genetic smoker" to a fucking magazine, you are a horsed faced looney tune.
babbling like one agin. trying with cookies?
So give up smoking you douche!
