S5 E8: Chris Noth: Beyond Mr. Big, Fatherhood & The Version of Him Nobody Talks About

from Beyond the Bar Podcast · host Denisa Tova

Most people think they know Chris Noth. Detective Mike Logan. Mr. Big. Peter Florrick. Three of the most iconic characters in television history — all played by one man who has spent decades deliberately staying out of the machine that made him famous.In this episode Denisa sits down with Chris for one of the most honest and unexpected conversations Beyond the Bar has ever had. Chris opens up about raising a six year old at his age and why he wouldn't trade it for anything, his oldest teenage son heading off to college and learning not to take the distance personally, the annual 100 mile hiking trips through Scotland and Spain with the same group of lifelong friends, why he finally made peace with being called Mr. Big after years of it driving him crazy, his love of theater and the role in Marlowe's Doctor Faustus that he calls genuinely transformative, the cigar he is creating in the Dominican Republic and why he wants to call it Meditations, what meditation actually revealed about his own anger and impatience, how the last few years kept him close to home and gave him something he didn't know he needed, and why after everything he is still hungry to find that one piece of material that will satisfy his soul.This is the version of Chris Noth most people have never seen. Thoughtful, unguarded, and completely himself.If you grew up watching Law and Order, Sex and the City, or The Good Wife — this one is for you.🎙️ Beyond the Bar is a podcast hosted by Denisa Tova that goes beyond the title and into the real story — the human being underneath the fame, the career, and the headlines.📲 Connect with Chris Noth: https://www.instagram.com/chrisnothofficial/📲 Watch more episodes and connect with Denisa here: https://tovaretirement.com/podcast/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/denisatovaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/denisatovaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/denisatova/Podcast Production by HypeCats.com, webinars, and podcasts: https://hypecats.com.
