John opened up on an episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast with hosts Dana Carvey and David Spade.
He said, “Have you ever sat in a f—ing waiting room of a doctor’s office for like an hour and been like, ‘what the f–k?’ For me, that’s what making a movie is like, because I’m not part of any creative process.”
“I’ve made a lot of money, I live in a beautiful home, people come to me at every restaurant I go in, I’m a friend of the world,” he added (via EW). “But as far as a fulfilling creative work life, I didn’t write one f—ing line. I didn’t write one joke that made people laugh. So it’s been unfulfilling on that level.”
John brought up Emma Stone and how she’s a producer on projects like Poor Things. He said he’s disappointed that he never took that path as an actor in Hollywood.
John is best known for playing Aidan Shaw on Sex and the City, Chris Stevens on Northern Exposure, and Ian Miller in the My Big Fat Greek Wedding movies.
