It is fair to say that John Corbett has had a fairly successful acting career since his debut in the 1980s, with the star arguably best known for playing Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest Aidan Shaw in Sex and the City.
And older fans may know him for his role as Chris Stevens in the ’90s comedy-drama. Northern exposurefor which he received an Emmy nomination in 1992.
But despite all this, John, 63, admitted during a recent podcast appearance that he doesn’t feel fulfilled as an actor – and in fact thinks he may have chosen the wrong career path.
Opening up to Dana and David, John said: “Look, I’m in the fourth quarter of the football game now, in life and in show business. That’s just a fact. So I can reveal now that I chose the wrong thing to do with my life.”
“To anyone listening, I’m going to sound like an ungrateful prick,” he later admitted. “But I’m just telling you, in my professional life, I’ve made a lot of money, I live in a nice house, people come up to me in every fucking restaurant I go to – I’m a friend to the world!

John also admitted that the unreliability of his acting career is another factor in his lack of fulfillment, explaining: “At my best, I work five or six weeks a year. I have to sit and wait for the phone to ring, and in 2022, it hasn’t rang once. So for that whole year, I was like, ‘Other than playing guitar and piano at home, how do I express myself?’”
