'Sex and the City's' Chris Noth Slams the Show's Carrie Bradshaw
"How many boyfriends did she have?" Noth joked about Bradshaw's love life.
— -- Chris Noth is over "Sex and the City" and it shows.
Noth, who played Mr. Big (Sarah Jessica Parker's main boyfriend on the show), didn't mince words when talking about his on-screen romance with the fictitious Carrie Bradshaw.
"One of the things I tell people is that he never tried to pretend he was anything other than what he was. It was [Carrie] who tried to pretend [s]he was something he wasn’t. He was always honest about himself — he never cheated on her," Noth told Australia's News.com. "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!"
He added, "There's a misconception that Carrie was a victim of him, and that’s not the case — she was a strong, smart woman."
Noth -- whose character eventually married Bradshaw in the first "Sex and the City" movie -- admitted he's trying to "break a mold" now on "The Good Wife."
He also addressed what may have gone wrong with the second "Sex and the City" movie.
"I don’t think it was a bomb, but I think because they’re greedy, it didn’t make as much money as they wanted. But I think it was considered an indulgence and a distraction because it hit right when the recession happened. People were like, ‘Who gives a f*** about these broads going to Dubai when we can’t pay our mortgage?’" he added. "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."
Noth, 59, also addressed the lifestyle Bradshaw lived as a writer in New York City.
"The New York that 'Sex and the City' depicted is not the New York that I love — New York was a much bigger, more interesting place than just fashion and glitz and all that crap. It’s become its own nightmare — it’s become Dubai, which is why I don’t spend much time there anymore. It’s full of tourists, Times Square is Disneyland," he added.
