I need to talk about Jon Hamm for a minute. The bad news? He’s starring in a new movie Sucker Punch which is also featuring Vanessa Hudgens. I think I talked about this movie before; it’s a fantasy flick and ‘Nessa plays a hooker. The good news? Because it’s a movie about hookers, there’s a good possibility that Hamm could appear naked. The movie most likely be amazing just because of his ass participation.
I may have mentioned that I wished that I watched Mad Men from the start because it always looks like such a good show. I get weird about series television — if I haven’t watched it from episode one on its original air date, I have a very difficult time bonding mid-season. Issues … I know. But in an effort to conquer my crazies, I took the plunge and am currently watching the series in the most schizophrenic manner possible. I’ve seen half of the first season (the final two discs just arrived from Netflix!), every night I watch one or two episodes On Demand from Season 2, and Sunday night I watched the Season 3 premiere. And I love it. What a totally amazing riveting show! So much of TV sucks so when you find something that has such subtle and unspoken elements, you want to hold onto that. It’s like finding a front row parking spot at the mall. On December 24th. Magic.
And Jon Hamm? Why was I ever wasting my time with Bradley Cooper? As an aside, after watching BC in action in Yes Man, I’ve determined that he’s much hotter in print than on film. So. Over. Him. Okay, back to my new fiance, Jon. This dude plays his character Don Draper with such amazing (I just realized that I used the word “amazing” about five million times in this piece) layered dimensions. From minute to minute I can’t decide if I admire, hate or pity him. Just. Amazing. Incredible.
So, yeah … I’m bummed that any cast member from High School Musical is going to share screen time with my beau, but I will be watching. I’ll be watching everything that Jon Hamm does. Forever. And ever.
I too became obsessed with this show (and Jon Hamm) after the first episode. As soon as I saw 15 minutes of that Hot bastard speak I was like “who is this guy and why hasn’t he been on my TV until now?” He’s the epitome of sexy.
He looks like a cartoon pilot.
And it’s not a weird thing, everyone is like that re series television.
Yes. He is so unbelievable handsome. Also, he was really funny as a guest star on 30 Rock. So he’s sexy and a good actor!
Love love love Hamm! And love love love Mad Men! So happy you are getting into it. If you want some insight and some great interviews with the cast and creator may I suggest checking out http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/ . He always brings something up that I missed which makes me go back and watch each episode again, like I really needed an excuse to do that! ;)
He was also in the new Day the Earth Stood Still, I have yet to see it though.
“front row parking spot at the mall. On December 24th.” Impossible!!
I love this guy too. Mad Men is a great show!! Unfortunatley, he’s a bit dumpy without his clothes on. I saw an episode of the show where he appears without his shirt on. Not so impressive. Don’t get me wrong….I still wouldn’t kick him outta bed….but his hotness lies in his face (and voice) alone.
Le what?? I wouldn’t exactly call this http://www.celebitchy.com/64338/jon_hamm_the_obama_of_hollywood/00144hr0/ dumpy! Yeah he doesn’t have a ripped stomach but I don’t think many men when to the gym all the time back then. If Cary Grant or Gregory Peck took their shirts off, I think they would have had much similar physiques. ;)
I’m not saying he’s not absolutely drool worthy. He is. He’s just not at all toned. (which actually, I like about him. to me it signifies that he’s more cerebrial). If you saw the epi I’m talking about, he’s got some love handles going. Still love him though.
He’s a talented actor, and I love Madmen and him in it but can I spend a dime watching a movie Vanessa Hudgens is going to be in? Can’t stand her, and her hypocritical behavior or her taste in men.
The producer asks the women not to work out and to eat, people were rounder and not working out during that time period, so it’s likely he asked the men not to work out either.
Wendie, you’re the reason I started watching (and am currently obsessed with) Mad Men. You mentioned once before that it was a great show, and I was like maybe I’ll watch an episode…. and that turned into me seeing all of Season 1 and 2 and the Season 3 premire Sunday night. I love it, and thank you =] ANd while Jon Hamm is gorgeous.. I also think John Slattery is a sexxxy silver fox.
