Chris Noth Revealed His Favorite ‘Sex and the City’ Scene and It’s Surprising

Chris Noth’s most iconic role undoubtedly came in Sex and the City. As Mr. Big he made fans swoon. He was cool, calm, and collected, if not more than a bit emotionally unavailable. A fart doesn’t seem like something Mr. Big would find hilarious, but for Noth, it was the highlight of his time on the series.

Chris Noth might not be ready to commit to the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like Thatjust yet. That doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to talk about his time on the series, though. Noth, who portrayed Mr. Big for six seasons and two movies, recently sat down with Kelly Clarkson to discuss his character. The talk show host asked Noth about his favorite Sex and the City scene, and he had an answer at the ready. His favorite moment might actually surprise fans.

Noth, who currently stars in The Equalizer, is best remembered for his Sex and the City role. He portrayed Carrie Bradshaw’s main love interest, Mr. Big, for all six seasons. The emotionally distant but incredibly charismatic Mr. Big was the only man who truly got under Carrie’s skin.

Mr. Big and Carrie broke up multiple times during the show’s six-season run. Still, after each breakup, they remained in contact. Fans were desperate to see the pair back together eventually, and that’s exactly what they got. Carrie and Big rekindled their romance in the series finale and are still together today, as far as fans know. That is all subject to change, though.

Noth appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to discuss his life and recent jobs, but Clarkson was focused on his iconic role on Sex and the City. When asked what his favorite scene was, Noth immediately knew the answer. He revealed that he enjoyed a season 1 episode where Carrie accidentally farts in bed the most.

Noth said he found the scene especially funny and loved that his character got to prank Carrie after the fart. The episode Noth is referring to was titled “The Drought.” It was the eleventh episode of the show’s first season. The following episode, the season 1 finale, found Carrie and Mr. Big at a crossroads. The pair broke up for the first time in the episode.
