Never watched the show but Chris looks just like his real father. He is Hollywood Royalty.

That's what I always assumed |

I don’t think you can analyze the show that way. So much of it doesn’t make any sense.
Big would have never divorced Natasha. A grown man like Big wouldn’t not show up to his wedding. He wouldn’t have strung Carrie along. If he wanted to play he would have moved onto the next shiny thing. Trey would have been able to have sex. Miranda wouldn’t give her son the same first name and last name. I could go…it’s fun watching but not a show to take seriously and dissect. |
Google image search of his name. Looks like an ugly sleazebag. A wannabe; gauche. Prime Chris Noth was 10000x better looking than him. |
The show's writers clearly had axes to grind against old money WASPs and Catholics. |

Old money but still douchey. |
Trey was old money. Big was new money. |
I would say maybe Big's grandparents were new money. No way his mom was. Trey was true old money. |
Football / lacrosse at a prep school in NYC then finance at Princeton or Penn. |
This extreme DCUM fascination with this stuff is really inane. None of you would even begin to recognize someone who qualifies as "old money" as such, yet you babble on about tv show characters like this. |
This was actually very important to the show. Big never had the courage to commit to someone like Carrie, from a broken home in nowhere USA with crazy style and an upstart career. At least while his mother was alive. But he quickly committed to Natasha, with her perfect pre-marriage fashion career, and have their wedding at her parents’ Hamptons home. |
Came from money. The funeral scene and Carrie's meeting with his brother about the family tomb in CT... |
Plenty of families are buried together. That doesn’t mean he was old money. He was new money. Even when they were reading his will it was obvious he wasn’t old money. His brother would have been at the reading of the will. This happened in Gossip Girl a couple of times and it was a formal event. If he were old money it wouldn’t have just been Carrie there and his brother wouldn’t have had to ask Carrie where she’d bury him. It would have already been decided by his family. I’m sure Trey’s family would have decided that for him decades prior. Also I noticed people that are old money when portrayed on tv live in family owned apartments. Trey lived in a family owned apartment and even on gossip girl they lived in a family owned apartment which was revealed at the reading of the will. |
