Carrie and Mr Big, played by Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth.

That’s your WIFE you’re talking about, Chris Noth.

Well, sort of.

In an interview with news.com.au, Chris Noth, the actor who plays Mr Big from Sex And The City , called the character he played opposite for seven season and two movies, Carrie Bradshaw, “such a whore”. His tone was joking but the offence for Carrie fans and feminists everywhere was real.

Chris, 59, is on a publicity tour in Australia for Chivas Regal Extra Scotch. (That’s not a movie by the way, it’s a beverage). So basically, he’s here in Oz, drinking a bunch of scotch and swearing a lot.

A media rep interviewed him (bleeping out the expletives), and asked how he survived post- Sex And The City life having played a notorious commitment-phobic wanker for such a long time (our words, not theirs).

Noth responded:

Let’s get a few things straight before we continue….

A woman who has a lot of sexual partners is not someone you should be calling a whore, Chris. In fact, you shouldn’t be calling anyone a whore. Sex and the City was remarkable for its time because it showed that women could be strong, smart, sassy and sexually independent. Women were valued for who they were and not how they were partnered up or who they slept with. That is something you should be proud to have been a part of. So how about not reinforcing outdated and insulting stereotypes that women who have multiple partners are somehow less worthy?

Also, you left Carrie at the altar you numnut and we ain’t never forgiving you for that.

In other less blood-boiling news, Chris Noth was also asked about the countless rumours of a third Sex And The City movie. For anyone who saw the second film and is quaking with disgust right now, we feel you.

My, Chris is a potty-mouth. Honest, but a potty-mouth.

A Big one at that.

Carrie. So much pretty. So much skirt.

The tutu that started it all.

The layered tulle gown that Carrie waits, and waits, and waits for Aleksandr Petrovsky in. This outfit is SATC stylist Patricia Field's favourite.

The Carrie nameplate necklace.

The flower corsage!

Who could forget when Miranda's waters broke all over Carrie's Louboutins.

Oh, Aidan....

Only these two could pull off matching nautical outfits.
