It was tall meets petite at the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront in New York City on Wednesday.
Shaquille O’Neal, who stands at 7ft1in was seen towering over Sarah Jessica Parker who is 5ft3in.
That is an incredible 10 inch height difference.
The two looked like close friends as the former Los Angeles Lakers basketball star put his hands on the Sex And The City veteran’s shoulders while on the carpet.
Shaq wore all a black suit and shirt with gray tie as Parker – who appears to be back with Aidan on And Just Like That – had on a spring-feel in a long ivory knit dress with pockets on the front as she added black high heels.

Sarah was also seen posing with very tall talk show host Conan O’Brien, who stands at 6ft4in.
Also at the event was Mindy Kaling in a floral print dress that made the most of her newly slender frame.
And Hacks stars Hannah Einbinder looked elegant in a semi-sheer chocolate brown top that showed off her bra and long skirt.
HBO and Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys brought out And Just Like That star Parker to talk to the crowd.
She chatted about Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw and the legacy of the hit show about single ladies set in Manhattan.
She is now on And Just Like That with Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
Parker also put her arm around Kate Bolduan, broadcast journalist and news anchor for CNN, who dared to go sleeveless in a vest and slacks.
Kaling took the stage to promote her Max comedy The Sex Lives of College Girls before introducing Bloys.
‘I know when you look at me, you see a young, beautiful mother,’ Kaling said.
‘The truth is I am an old Max veteran. I was here way back when Max was HBO Max, it was this whole other thing. It was just me, Tom & Jerry reruns and that show about the Heaven’s Gate cult.

‘It’s completely different now — though, let me be clear: there are still great shows about cults and there never will not be. Because Casey Bloys loves cults. He told me that personally.’
The WBD upfront ended with O’Neal talking to Conan O’Brien whose talk showed has been renewed.
‘It’s insane how many endorsements you have,’ O’Brien joked.
‘You can’t possibly know all the endorsements you have.
‘In the time that Shaq’s been out here, he has signed deals with the following products: The Shaq and Decker circular saw. The Shaqbook laptop. The Shake Shack Shaq. Shaq Plaque Attack Dental Floss. Shaq Zodiac tarot cards. Shaq Kerouac On the Road Travel Books. The Cheesecake Shaqtory. Shaq Tac Toe. Shaqamole. That’s a fun game.

‘And finally, Shaq oat milk for the Shaqtose intolerant.’
‘It’s early days for Max as we are only now approaching our first anniversary. Since the launch we continue to attract audiences in a variety of unique ways,’ Bloys said.
‘As we grow we remain focused on providing more and more reasons to make Max the one to watch.
‘Subscribers are now looking to us for live news on CNN Max and we’re also offering can’t-miss live sports with B/R sports on Max.
‘This blends seamlessly with HBO, Max originals, Magnolia and a powerful mix of shows from Discovery, TLC, HGTV, ID, Food, TCM, Adult Swim and others.’
