Mario Cantone told TODAY Friday that seeing his late co-star Willie Garson on 'And Just Like That...' was very hard to watch.
," the"Sex and the City" limited series sequel now airing on HBO Max has been a delight to watch, but there's also been a layer of sadness in it: One of its regulars, Willie Garson, passed away in September.
For Mario Cantone, who played Garson's character's husband, Anthony, seeing him again on screen was particularly"bittersweet.""It was very tough to watch," Cantone, 62, told TODAY on Friday, noting he'd watched the premiere with his husband."Watching my friend Willie Garson with me in one particular scene just killed me, I lost it. I miss him a lot."
Garson, who played Carrie's BFF Stanford Blatch on the show, started out in a charged, antagonistic role with Cantone's Anthony, but the two men eventually fell in love and married in the follow-up movies. In"That," we're told that Blatch abruptly dumps his husband and goes to Asia to manage a rising TikTok star.Garson in "And Just Like That..."Anthony and Carrie have a moment on the show where he tells her,"I don't get it — we were so happy."
Meanwhile Cantone said,"We all just huddled together and loved each other and moved on and did this with him in our hearts. It was hard to watch but we continued, there were a lot of rewrites and Michael Patrick King is brilliant... It’s been a good time, it's been a bittersweet time."Peter Kramer / TODAY
