Jason Lewis Reveals Six‑Month Starvation in Paris Before ‘Sex and the City’ Breakthrough

Actor Jason Lewis told host Kristin Davis on the “Am I A Charlotte?” podcast that he spent about six months starving while living in Paris as a young model. He arrived with a three‑month ticket paid by an agency, tore it up to stay longer, and survived by stealing baguettes, making mustard‑bread sandwiches, and sleeping on floors. After roughly a year and a half, he secured his first decent paying job, which led to his casting as Smith Jerrod in ‘Sex and the City’ in 2003, launching his acting career.

The interview was reported by IANS and appeared in outlets in the United States and India, highlighting the personal hardship Lewis endured before achieving fame on the iconic television series.
