Mr. Big's Big Brain Freeze: Chris Noth Forgets His Own 'Sex and the City' Wife!

Chris Noth, the iconic actor forever etched into pop culture history as the enigmatic Mr. Big from 'Sex and the City,' recently dropped a bombshell revelation that's as hilarious as it is surprising. In a candid and self-deprecating interview, Noth admitted to an utterly astounding lapse in memory: he completely forgot that acclaimed actress Bridget Moynahan portrayed his character's first wife, Natasha Naginsky, in the beloved HBO series.

The 'aha!' moment, or rather the 'oh, right!' moment, struck Noth while he was watching Moynahan on the police procedural 'Blue Bloods.' He recounted the experience, stating he saw her on screen and thought to himself, 'I know that woman! She's my wife!' It wasn't until a beat later that the full, slightly embarrassing truth dawned on him: she was his wife, but only in the fictional, albeit indelible, universe of 'Sex and the City.'

This isn't just a fleeting moment of forgetfulness; Noth elaborated on the genuine confusion he experienced, realizing the woman he admired on 'Blue Bloods' was none other than Natasha, the woman Mr.

Big abruptly married, much to Carrie Bradshaw's chagrin. The irony of an actor forgetting such a pivotal character in his own blockbuster series is not lost on Noth, who shared the anecdote with characteristic charm and humility, proving that even stars have their very human, very funny moments.

The story gets even better.

Noth, ever the good sport, decided to text Moynahan about his bewildering memory lapse. Her response was a testament to her grace and perhaps a hint that this isn't the first time an 'SATC' cast member has shared such a delightful gaffe. Moynahan simply replied with a knowing, 'I know, I know,' effectively confirming that his forgetfulness was an amusing, yet understandable, side effect of Hollywood's vast and varied landscape of roles.

Bridget Moynahan’s portrayal of Natasha, though relatively brief, left an undeniable mark on the 'Sex and the City' narrative.

As the unsuspecting bride who served as a stark contrast to Carrie, her presence was crucial in highlighting Mr. Big’s complexities and his turbulent relationship with Carrie. Her character represented a significant, albeit ultimately doomed, chapter in Mr. Big’s life, making Noth's forgetfulness all the more comically poignant.

This delightful revelation from Chris Noth not only offers a peek behind the curtain of celebrity life but also endears him further to fans.

It's a reminder that even actors deeply immersed in their roles can sometimes blur the lines between fiction and reality, leading to genuinely amusing personal stories. Noth’s candor in sharing this 'Mr. Big' brain-freeze adds another layer to his enduring legacy, proving he's just as captivating off-screen as he is on it.
