- Nia Vardalos told Entertainment Tonight that she thinks John Corbett might have nude scenes in "And Just Like That."
- She said he "got in really good shape" to film his episodes.
- Vardalos said her "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" character would "share" her husband with Sarah Jessica Parker.
Nia Vardalos is remaining mum about what fans should expect from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3." But she recently shared that "Sex and the City" fans might be in for a major reveal when her on-screen husband John Corbett returns to the franchise in "And Just Like That" season two.
Vardalos said that Corbett, who will reprise his role as Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) ex-fiancé Aidan Shaw in the revival, shared some details about his return with her.
"He got in really good shape," she told Entertainment Tonight reporter Cassie DiLaura on the red carpet at Elton John AIDS Foundation's 31st Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party. "So, I have a feeling there's nudity in that....I have a feeling."

"John's vegan now, so he looks good," the "Love, Victor" actor added, noting that her "Greek Wedding" character Toula will happily "share" her fictional husband Ian with Parker.
For 22 episodes of "Sex and the City, " Corbett played Aidan, the only man other than Mr. Big (Chris Noth) who truly captured Carrie's heart. But she cheated on him with Big in season three and broke off an engagement in season four after realizing she had marriage jitters and Aidan didn't fully trust her.
In "Sex and the City 2," Carrie and Aidan ran into each other in Abu Dhabi and shared dinner and a kiss. The moment only inspired her to fix her marriage with Big, so Carrie and Aidan appeared to be over for good.
In April 2021, Corbett falsely told Page Six that he would be appearing in "quite a few" episodes of the revival series "And Just Like That" for season one, ultimately appearing in none.
His admission caused quite a stir among fans, and Parker told Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen" that he later reached out to her and apologized for the joke.

"It was fun for him to say that," she said. "He actually reached out very kindly, because he's nothing if not a gentleman, and apologized for doing that as a joke. And then I was like, 'No, no, no, I mean, it's a free country,' first of all, and second of all, I thought it was kind of delightful and fun."
Speculation that Corbett would actually return to the franchise for "And Just Like That" season two was reported by Deadline in August, and confirmed by Parker to Entertainment Tonight the next month. Images of the co-stars kissing have since become public.
The first season of "And Just Like That" is available to stream on HBO Max.
