Re: FAQ Why is he called Mr. Big?


"It's because he's a business big shot a la Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with his penis size, that we know of."

With his first name revealed to be "John" in the TV series finale, I suspect the whole wink-wink, double entendre point to calling him "Mr Big" was to imply his penis size. ;)

Well no. She called him that before she saw his penis.

The name was taken from the book and was the nickname Candace Bushnell had given her real life boyfriend, who was a big deal in the publishing world. I forget his real name but he looked more like Julian, the Vogue editor, rather than Chris Noth.

I never did read the book; thanks for the info! :)

He was a larger than life person. Distinguished, etc
