Kristin Davis still can’t believe Jon Bon Jovi was a guest on Sex and the City. The actress, who played Charlotte York on the HBO sitcom and its spin-off, And Just Like That, shared her thoughts on one of the most memorable episodes of the series—and she had a bit of a fangirl moment.

Speaking with guest Nicole Ari Parker on the Are You a Charlotte? podcast on Sept. 11, Davis, 60, looked back on the 1999 episode “Games People Play.” The episode featured Bon Jovi as Seth, a therapy patient who takes an interest in Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), then loses interest once they sleep together.

“So, this particular episode is called ‘Games People Play,’ and it is memorable for so many reasons and really enjoyable for so many reasons and for me because …Jon Bon Jovi,” Davis said on her podcast. “Oh my God. I mean, I remember when this was happening only because it was so bizarre, like the meeting of worlds.”

“So we have the incredible Jon Bon Jovi in this episode, which is just even weird to say. I mean, I grew up on Bon Jovi like they were inescapable and fundamental to, like, the ‘80s,” she added. “It’s crazy that John Bon Jovi was on our show. Oh my God. I’m still like, oh my God.”

“He’s so good,” she said of the ’80s hearthrob. “Why didn’t that man have an acting career? I mean, he’s so simple, but fascinating. And when we get to the end of his [story]….cutting.”

Davis admitted that in the scenes where Bon Jovi was in the waiting room for Dr. Greenfield (Anne Lange), she sometimes forgot the “You Give Love a Bad Name” singer was playing a character.

“Jon Bon Jovi walks out of the door at the therapist, and I really thought for a second that he was playing himself because we’ve already said that Gwyneth [Paltrow] goes to this therapist, right? And then I was like, wait, does he?” she recalled. “I couldn’t even remember. No, he’s playing another character, but he’s still himself. It’s really distracting and strange, you know what I mean?”

She added that Parker and Bon Jovi “looked so good together” in their scenes, most notably a scene in which they play a game of Twister in Carrie’s apartment.. “The Twister Game is just beyond,” Davis said. “It’s excellent.”

“I remember all of this in a vague way of like me being like so curious, but not wanting to go to the set because I would be like a looky-loo fan, do you know what I mean?” she added. “But I did meet him. He was lovely. Just so real. You know, he’s such, like, a regular guy.”

While Davis was thrilled by Bon Jovi’s SATC cameo, the rocker has admitted he knew nothing about the show when he took on the role.

“I started taking these episodes of TV shows to get out there and have more people see me to put me in their movies,” he revealed on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live in 2021. “I didn’t know what Sex and the City was. It was the beginning of the second season, and I was not caught up on the first one, so I really didn’t know the impact that show was gonna have. Now, when I look back, I go, ‘Yeah, I was on Sex and the City,’ as if I knew, but I really didn’t.”

More than 20 years later, he admitted, “I still never watched the show.”

“I realized I never watched Friends,” the Bon Jovi frontman added. “I never watched Sex and the City. I never watched Game of Thrones. There’s so much television. It doesn’t mean I didn’t like it, it just went over my head and I didn’t get around [to] it.”
