Chris Noth on “Sex and the City 3” Rumors, His Mr. Big Character

Warner Bros. (New Line)(NEW YORK) — Amid rumors of a third Sex and the City movie, actor Chris Noth, who played Mr. Big, recently discussed the topic with the Australian news website News.com.au and said he’ll “believe it when they say ‘Action.'”

Noth adds, “…Until then I don’t pay any attention. Sure, I’ve heard rumors, but they’ve been saying that s**t for 10 years.”

The 59-year-old actor also talked about Sarah Jessica Parker’s Carrie Bradshaw, and cleared up a misconception about his character’s money and power giving him the upper hand in the relationship, noting that “emotionally he was a wreck.”

“It was [Carrie] who tried to pretend he was something he wasn’t. He was always honest about himself — he never cheated on her,” Noth explains.

“The relationship just didn’t work, and he went on to get married while she went on to…how many boyfriends did she have? She was such a whore,” Noth declares with a laugh.

“There’s a misconception that Carrie was a victim of him, and that’s not the case — she was a strong, smart woman,” Noth adds.

When asked why he thinks the critical response to the second Sex and the City movie was mostly negative, Noth blamed poor timing.

“I think it was considered an indulgence and a distraction because it hit right when the recession happened,” he tells the Australian website. “People were like, ‘Who gives a f**k about these broads going to Dubai when we can’t pay our mortgage?’”

“It was originally intended as a romp between these friends, but I think it was a mistake to leave New York City, because New York is an integral part of that show,” he added.
