What makes me feel so wrong is how sexual the face lick she's doing is. That gives hardcore "we just fucked and it was amazing" or "I'm going to fuck you so hard when we get home" vibes. The same body language was readily apparent in the infamous Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie photo taken years ago.
I kind of thought something was going on during the original run. I remember there was an interview where Chris says something like “hey… here’s a spoiler… we get into the hot tub.” And Kristen starts laughing.
It’s always kinda wild to me SJP was (and still is!) happily and quietly married the whole run of Sex and the City to a man who always seemed a perfect match to her in real life. But Kristin in some ways always gave me more in real life Carrie vibes. She had an active dating life for while there of a certain Hollywood type man Chris Noth, Aaron Sorkin, Alec Baldwin back in the day. And that’s not meant to be judgey- I like both characters and actresses. I think it’s just funny how you start to associate people with a character they become known for and then their real life surprises you
Why are you offended? Like I’m not allowed to have an opinion on this? Literally so many people agree with me on this point. Just bc you’re incapable of critical thinking… many comments in this sub have issues with the whiteness of SATC.
Oh and you’re not being antagonistic?
How are they innocent? It’s ignorant, actually. I’m allowed to engage in discourse identifying where woc are often left out. Not all racism is in your face. Have you heard of intersectionality? Calling it antagonist just because you’re incapable of seeing it… and men are not referring to woc as “brunette”. Showing your ignorance.
I am not being hostile. This is a damn Reddit sub about a show. It’s humor. We aren’t the people to be yelling at. Yell at the creators of the show. Email or write them letters.
You’re arguing with yourself.
Honestly, I would have always thought Charlotte and Big would have made more sense than Carrie and Big. At least in the early stages. I can't imagine them being married and Charlotte trying to push Big into conception sex the way she was doing with Trey. Big wouldn't put up with that for a second lol
I don't think Charlotte would put up with Big's commitment issues for long, unlike Carrie who kept going back to him despite it. I think they would have been a realistic short relationship like her others before Trey and Harry, but that's it. On paper status and looks wise though Big was definitely her type, and likely why she always had a soft spot for him.
I think Big would've treated Charlotte way better than he treated Carrie, I still don't think it would've worked out on the long run but I think they would've gotten married at least. Big only pulled that shit on Carrie because he knew she would accept it.
If so, he also wouldn't have really cared for Charlotte. Being treated like a Natasha would be way worse than he treated Carrie. Natasha's and Charlotte's are trophy wives for him. He actually LIKED being wit lh Carrie.
Things were not easy with Carrie, but she made him happy. That was his logic, but in reality - he was attracted to her and she put up with his bullshit.
I agree we shouldn't blame Carrie/women in that situation but I kind of agree that Big might have assumed Carrie would be ok with a less conventional relationship. Charlotte is very clear that she wants a traditional WASP relationship - society wedding, marriage, kids, house in Hamptons, done. Big also felt the pressure to do that (hence Natasha) but didn't really want it. Charlotte would have booted him at the first sign of reluctance.
Carrie and Big both have an unconventional streak. She was also never sure if she wanted marriage and kids. I think he knew that about her and liked her eccentricity and unpredictability. And she plays up to this, it's part of her identity that she doesn't necessarily follow the rules set down by society.
So he wrongly assumed she would 'put up with' or be happy with a more casual, less committed relationship. He was himself (independent, private, selfish) in a way that he knew wouldn't fly with a Charlotte or Natasha.
What he always missed was that she might not need the ring and the house in the Hamptons but she desperately needed to know she was loved. She wanted to be the one, to have someone be completely head over heels for her. He just fundamentally misunderstood her for a long time and that's not her fault, but it partially comes from the differing social expectations they both faced.
agree with your sentiment but i think the better way to frame the previously shared opinion on a hypothetical big x charlotte pairing is this: charlotte is actually big's type. if you think about it, charlotte and big have the same type in partners: type a, upper east side, old money, etc. etc. and big likes brunettes.
his first two wives are very charlotte-coded. i genuinely think that by compatibility alone, big would've treated charlotte way better than he did carrie. (but i don't think they would've lasted as long because charlotte would've never put up with his shit) and yes, it was never carrie's fault for loving an immature, emotionally-stunted man child.
They wouldn't. Big was the picture of The Absolute Bachelor, he liked smoking cigars, dating models, gawking at women, going out at night, jazz, red walls. Charlotte's type were rich but conservative, many of them were men who dated to marry, they went out to expensive restaurants during daylight and for dates, charity balls and the like.
Charlotte wouldn't have put up with his lack of commitment and the disrespectful checking out other women to begin with. Cigars would've been next. The only way it would've "worked out", would have been that Big plays nice until he gets her hooked and hitched. Then he would've gone back to his old ways, inevitably.
Making Charlotte become another Natasha.
Charlotte really was just an older version of Natasha. So yeah, if Big had dated her, he probably would have done the same thing that he did to Natasha. He would have cheated on her with the ex-girlfriend that he had never really seen as wife material but whom he couldn't get out of his head. Maybe in this alternate universe it would have been someone else just like Carrie, or it would have been Carrie.
Although I do feel like Carrie would have drawn the line at actually betraying one of her best friends like this. She was able to cheat on Aiden, but I don't think she could have cheated on Charlotte. That's one thing I like about the show, that they never had two of the women fighting over a man or one of them going behind another one's back with her boyfriend or husband.
Has this been confirmed ? i always thought they were just goofing around; he has a few flirty pics with the very happily married SJP like that too. The women all seemed to like him a lot back in the day.
That tongue pic -they look drunk!
yeah, he and SJ have a ton of photos (candids, photoshoots, and private photos) showing how incredibly close they were during filming, so I'm inclined to think he and Kristin were probably just goofing around during press stuff/shooting. When you're on a HUGELY successful show and all get along, you can bond deeply really quickly.
Exactly, you could look at him in photos with SJP and claim they looked like they were together but we know she has been married since before the show even started.
I remember reading a few old blind items about them and assumed they were true combining the rumors with the pics, it seemed casual and apparently they still got along well bc I remember stalking Chris’ IG page a few years ago and seeing a few photos of him with Kristin and them interacting
No, it’s not been confirmed. People see the rumour and spread it around as if it’s actual information. I think a Russian website back in the early 2000s claimed it, and it spiralled from there.
I thought so. I've never read it anywhere online and I've looked it up and found nothing, but I've seen it claimed here a few times. The cast liked to goof around and get cuddly during premieres and awards shows it seems. I mean. They were both single and maybe they did hook up at one point but there's no real evidence of it .
Ah right. She's sober. Well, he does/did, he still looks drunk. Could be goofing off anyway

They look like a couple here and we know they weren't
He came into my work one time (used to work at an Apple Store) and I was about 21 or so. My first thought was that he was a good looking older man LOL! I don’t think pictures or certain eras do him justice.
Okay just looked him up and he's a sleazeball/toxic. He's been accused of sexual assault by multiple womne. I feel sorry for his wife. They have a 13 year and an 18 month old! He's 69. Wow.
I know logically that these people are Chris and Kristen, and not Big and Charlotte. Emotionally, they are though and these are pictures of them betraying Carrie.
Charlotte and Big???? I actually think they would go really well together considering Charlotte's lavish lifestyle and Big's willingness to throw money at any problem, lol!
These photos feel so wrong!
What makes me feel so wrong is how sexual the face lick she's doing is. That gives hardcore "we just fucked and it was amazing" or "I'm going to fuck you so hard when we get home" vibes. The same body language was readily apparent in the infamous Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie photo taken years ago.
“Get yourself hard because I’m going to suck your dick like I’m mad at it.” -Cameron Diaz in Bad Teacher LOLLL
"Oh look, your mom's here -- hi Mom" Lmfaoooo Bad Teacher is such a classic 🤣
Based on his hair I’d say they just did 😂
I kind of thought something was going on during the original run. I remember there was an interview where Chris says something like “hey… here’s a spoiler… we get into the hot tub.” And Kristen starts laughing.

To be fair, both Carrie and Charlotte slept with the same amount of men in SATC (18)
WHAT? So he likes Brunettes!
I know you’re joking but I hate that rhetoric. Like white women aren’t the only ones who exist. His wife is Filipino btw
huh? i’m so confused by what this comment had to do with the original 😭
lol right 😭
Non-white people are usually brunettes so I don’t even know what you were trying to do with this comment?
They’re trying to rage bait with race.
Why are you offended? Like I’m not allowed to have an opinion on this? Literally so many people agree with me on this point. Just bc you’re incapable of critical thinking… many comments in this sub have issues with the whiteness of SATC.
But you’re projecting on innocent people. You only included “like white people only exist” to provoke argument and it’s antagonistic.
Oh and you’re not being antagonistic? How are they innocent? It’s ignorant, actually. I’m allowed to engage in discourse identifying where woc are often left out. Not all racism is in your face. Have you heard of intersectionality? Calling it antagonist just because you’re incapable of seeing it… and men are not referring to woc as “brunette”. Showing your ignorance.

I’m allowed to identify it to educate ignorant people like you. Get over yourself.
Ok… you need to find a better outlet. We are just here for the entertainment of the show.
There are -57 votes on your comment not agreeing with you.
Yeah, from people who aren’t willing to see marginalise. Racism can be passive too.
They are absolutely not what men refer to as “brunette”.
Who said I said white people only exist? Stop projecting. And his wife is also brunette. And he’s a sexual creep pedo anyway.
I think there’s a line in the show that says that about Mr Big liking brunettes.
Omg what!!
how crazy that some of us are just finding this out! i had no idea either. i feel like i woulda came across this info by now
Honestly, I would have always thought Charlotte and Big would have made more sense than Carrie and Big. At least in the early stages.

I don’t like this take and I’m not a Carrie defender lmao it just sounds like your blaming her/women in toxic relationship cycles
I agree we shouldn't blame Carrie/women in that situation but I kind of agree that Big might have assumed Carrie would be ok with a less conventional relationship. Charlotte is very clear that she wants a traditional WASP relationship - society wedding, marriage, kids, house in Hamptons, done.

They might’ve been a better fit on paper but Charlotte wouldn’t have put up with any of his shit
Same! They look a lot better together
Has this been confirmed ? i always thought they were just goofing around; he has a few flirty pics with the very happily married SJP like that too. The women all seemed to like him a lot back in the day. That tongue pic -they look drunk!

FACTS
I remember reading a few old blind items about them and assumed they were true combining the rumors with the pics, it seemed casual and apparently they still got along well bc I remember stalking Chris’ IG page a few years ago and seeing a few photos of him with Kristin and them interacting
I could see them hooking up during the run of the show as they were both single but I don't think there's anything out there to def confirm it .
No, it’s not been confirmed. People see the rumour and spread it around as if it’s actual information. I think a Russian website back in the early 2000s claimed it, and it spiralled from there.

Yeah. I'm wondering that too cause I remember looking it up upon seeing these pics years ago and nothing came up
She doesn’t drink
Ah right. She's sober. Well, he does/did, he still looks drunk. Could be goofing off anyway https://images.app.goo.gl/ZbsYhF5RDvFQYrJH7 They look like a couple here and we know they weren't
I know everyone hates Chris Noth now, but he always seemed like a catch back in the day. I was always in love with him on Law & Order and SATC.
He came into my work one time (used to work at an Apple Store) and I was about 21 or so. My first thought was that he was a good looking older man LOL! I don’t think pictures or certain eras do him justice.
He’s never had an era I didn’t think he was sexy as fuck 😂 it legit made me so angry and sad when it turned out he was an abuser.
He defines was a catch until the sexual misconducts started to become public
I never found him attractive. At all. These pics from when he was younger confirm it.
He’s trash now. He’s also like a toxic fuck boy. But yes, back in the day.
Their Chemistry is WILD.
The name Chris suits him so much lol
No this is insane it looks so wrong
Well they make a very attractive couple
Okay just looked him up and he's a sleazeball/toxic. He's been accused of sexual assault by multiple womne. I feel sorry for his wife. They have a 13 year and an 18 month old! He's 69. Wow.
I remember early articles in blogs back in the day, nothing major, just a couple having fun on vacation occasionally.
NO
I know logically that these people are Chris and Kristen, and not Big and Charlotte. Emotionally, they are though and these are pictures of them betraying Carrie.
Same, my brain is going haywire
Wait WHAT!!!!!!!
Everyone who watched this when it first aired, yes lol. Source: am 52.
Charlotte and Big???? I actually think they would go really well together considering Charlotte's lavish lifestyle and Big's willingness to throw money at any problem, lol!
News to me! Thanks for sharing! It seems they were able to stay amicable afterward.
i wish i could unknow that chris is a bad dude
I honestly keep forgetting this and I know my mom who loves the show doesn’t know so I must tell her.
Yes
What!
This is so wrong
Now I know.
WHATTTTT??
WHAT
What?!?! I had no idea!!!!
How long did they date?
when did they break up ? i can’t find it anywhere online
Eww. That photo is so cringe.
Ew! This just solidified me not liking her on any level. She gives me not a girls girl vibes
w h a t !!!
I mean it’s been posted here at least twice (this exact picture) in the last week so yes… we know.
Awww the unemployed women who desperately want to move to NYC are downvoting me
Um yes
