Chris Noth, best known for his role as Mr. Big in the “Sex and the City” franchise, has expressed gratitude for his character’s storyline in the HBO Max sequel series, “And Just Like That.” Noth stated he felt “very lucky” that Mr. Big’s death occurred in a memorable way – following a Peloton workout.
The actor’s comments came in response to a question about his departure from the show. While details regarding the specifics of the conversation remain undisclosed, Noth’s sentiment suggests a positive perspective on the narrative choice to conclude Mr. Big’s journey in such a dramatic fashion.

Noth’s return for the sequel series was highly anticipated, making his character’s sudden death all the more impactful. The Peloton storyline, while controversial, undoubtedly contributed to the show’s significant cultural conversation and cemented Mr. Big's final scene in television history.
