Sex And The City was a show that dazzled fans around the world with its daring fashion and honest storylines. While dedicated fans might be tracking the careers of main cast members, one important actor has gone unnoticed.

That’s right, little Brady Hobbes—the son of Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Steve (David Eigenberg).

The actor who played Hobbes’ son was Joseph Pupo, and now 17 years on, the red-haired actor has resurfaced as a teenager.

Who plays Brady Hobbes in And Just Like That?

Pupo’s former role as Brady Hobbes has since been filled by another actor, Niall Cunningham. 

The 28-year-old plays the teenage version of Miranda and Steve’s son, and appeared in 2021 on the red carpet with his on-screen parents at the NYC premiere of the show. 

We have to say, he’s strikingly similar to Pupo!
