Okay, so Brian Van Holt just dropped some absolutely chaotic tea about his old *Sex and the City* character, and it’s giving big “wait, what?!” energy.
Brian, who played Wylie Ford (aka the hot mess celebrity that Charlotte almost hooked up with), popped up on Kristin Davis’ podcast *Are You a Charlotte?* and revealed the insane backstory of his role. According to him, his character wasn’t just some random Hollywood bro—they modeled him after Leonardo DiCaprio’s infamous 90s boy squad, the one that tabloids nicknamed the “P\*\*\*y Posse.” Yep. That was a real thing people whispered about in the late ‘90s.
So here’s the breakdown: Leo, Tobey Maguire, and a bunch of their dude friends were allegedly running around New York nightlife pulling pranks, hitting clubs, and just generally being chaotic menaces. None of them have ever admitted to the nickname, but the legend has lived rent-free in pop culture for decades.
Brian straight-up said, “That character Wylie Ford was loosely based on the P\*\*\*y Posse shenanigans.” Translation: he got paid to play an unhinged Hollywood frat god. And he loved it.
He even admitted he had the time of his life channeling his “inner douchebag.” Apparently, being messy on screen was not only “creatively fulfilling” but also “therapeutic.” Imagine getting paid to be an obnoxious Leo-inspired party monster. Goals?
So yeah, Wylie Ford wasn’t just Charlotte’s almost-fling. He was Brian Van Holt’s way of living out Leonardo DiCaprio’s most chaotic era—and honestly, it makes *Sex and the City* way spicier in hindsight.
