Chris Noth says he was "very lucky" to be killed off on And Just Like That.
The actor remains "very close friends" with his Sex and the City costar John Corbett.
Noth also says he wished Kim Cattrall a happy birthday "a few months ago."
Chris Noth is glad Mr. Big met his end on that fateful Peloton.
The Sex and the City alum shared a candid response when asked how he felt about leaving the HBO Max sequel series And Just Like That after his character was killed off in the first episode.
"Very good. I think I was very lucky," he told the Daily Mail at the Blue Jacket Fashion Show in New York City on Wednesday.
Noth also told the outlet that he keeps in touch with one of his SATC costars. "John Corbett and I are very close friends," he said of the actor behind Aidan Shaw, who appeared on two seasons of And Just Like That. "He's doing wonderful."

Noth also shared the last time he interacted with Kim Cattrall, who sat out AJLT aside from a brief cameo in the second season. "She's living in London, I think," Noth said. "I wished her a happy birthday a few months ago, that's about it."
The actor's shade toward And Just Like That comes after a series of public criticisms of his longtime SATC scene partner Sarah Jessica Parker, whom he said he hasn't spoken to since four women accused him of sexual assault in 2021. Noth has denied all such allegations.

Noth's bitter streak came into view after Parker received the Carol Burnett Award at the Golden Globes' special Golden Eve televised ceremony in January. Noth shared an unrelated post on Instagram that showed him lifting weights. "F&@k new years - LETS GO!!!!" he wrote in his caption.

A commenter then turned his focus toward Parker. "You mean f‑‑‑ sjp & her award right? lol" the user wrote. Noth then responded, "Right."
Noth addressed the comment in a subsequent post. "My off the cuff slightly sarcastic response to a comment on the internet seems to have caused a tempest in a teapot," the actor wrote. "It is not news. It is not worth all this discussion. It is a waste of time in a world where there are more important things to worry about."
The actor took aim at Parker in an interview with Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson later that month.
"We're not friends, I think that's pretty obvious," Noth said, citing Parker's joint statement with Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis that condemned his alleged misconduct.

"The statement that they put out — which was nothing more than brand management, really — I don't know, it was sad, it was disappointing, it was surprising, because you need to call me and hear my side of this," Noth said. "And you've known me for many years, and we've worked [together] for many years. And that didn't happen."

The actor acknowledged that he understood the motivations to publicly side with his accusers. "I get it, that's more Hollywood than Hollywood," he said. "But before you make that statement, you know me, you've known me all these years, give me a call so I can give you the real scoop about this. And that didn't happen, and that was too bad."
