“I auditioned for it, and at that time I didn’t really realize that you could ever get the job,” Bradley explained, according to People. “Honestly, I thought that I had a job as a doorman at Morgans Hotel and then I was lucky enough to audition.”

He continued, “I remember when I got the call to do it I was terrified. ‘What do you mean I’m actually going to have to do it?’ I couldn’t drive a stick shift, so they sent me to Models Driving School and I was just terrified.”

Bradley then admitted that the extra preparation didn’t help.

“I still messed it up, so they had somebody else drive the car and I just had to… pretend that we stopped,” he said.

The star added that all in all, his Sex and the City experience was “really fun.”
