Turns out the man behind Mr. Big was more into the silly moments on Sex & The City than the, uh, sex.
Chris Noth spoke with Kelly Clarkson on her show this week and regaled viewers with some of his favourite moments from the iconic
HBO series.
Chris portrayed Mr. Big aka John James Preson – the on-and-off love interest of main character Carrie Bradshaw, portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker – in the series and, later, both Sex & The City films.“My favourite [scene] was when [Carrie] farted in bed,” said Noth, without hesitation. “I insisted on doing the sound to get it right because I’m an expert in farts.”
Through laughs, Kelly quipped that Chris is still a “boy” and a “child at heart.”
Chris was referencing was a moment in the penultimate episode of the first season. Carrie farts in bed with Mr. Big, whom she has been dating for awhile. Nestling under the covers to hide her mortification, Mr. Big jokes that it “might be worse under there.” You can watch the scene here:
Chris added that he’s also partial to the episode Cock a
Doodle Do!, the season three finale. In it, he and Carrie attempt to kiss near the boathouse in Central Park and end up in the lake.“We had one take to do it,” Chris said. “There were so many great moments in the series of
comedy. It was just a blast to do it.”
It remains unclear if Chris is participating in the upcoming reboot of the series, but we’ll just have to hope we have not seen the last of Mr. Big.READ MORE:Got Questions You 'Can't Help But Wonder' About Sex And The City's Return?
