Will Sex and the City's Mr. Big Return?

Thursday, October 17, 2002

As Sex and the City's all-too-brief fifth season wrapped last month, Carrie had an all-too-chaste visit with Mr. Big. In an episode entitled "The Big Journey," the randy columnist dropped by Big's Napa Valley digs in hopes of sampling his, er, grapes. But at first her ex refused Carrie sex, valuing her heart over her libido. Drat!

"That was one of my favorites," Chris Noth — aka Mr. Big — tells TV Guide Online, chuckling. "When he was in the wine country, he was drinkin' a lot of wine out there. He may have a problem!"

Since Ms. Bradshaw can't interest Big in a cheap tryst, much less a relationship, their romance looks dead. Will Sex's writers bring Big back in season six? "I don't know what they're up to," Noth shrugs. "They always come tell me if we're going to do it or not, so I leave it up to them. If we can organically find a way to keep it fresh that Carrie and I still have this relationship, then yeah. But if it doesn't work, we won't go there."

Ever the handsome rogue, Noth also pleads ignorance about the hair that's newly sprouted on his upper lip. What's with the moustache? "I woke up and it was there!" he laughs. "I don't know what happened. My hormones are raging, I guess. No, I took a hirsute pill and it showed up on my lip!

"I just get bored with myself sometimes when I look at my face," Noth smiles, "and I say, 'Let's do something different. I can't stand looking at you anymore.' So, I grew a moustache." Well, at least that's one mystery solved. — Daniel R. Coleridge
