The Hollywood Reporter - Jon Hamm Doesn’t Want to Be Your Leading Man

I think it was the market’s decision, John.

He just wants to lead a horse to water.

Duh!

I really don't care about him. As long as the famous "Hammaconda" is ok, I'm ok.

His continuing issues with alcohol is a major factor in his career path.

Why's he dressed like that?

He could have been the next George Clooney and he chose to become Chevy Chase without the hits.

R1 The market was open for him. He dropped the ball.

Makes a change from twisting them with a hammer

Yes he does.

Doesn't every failed leading man make the same proclamation?

Then return your salary and residuals.

SHOW US YOUR DICK

An interesting interview.

Also, I still would.

That's easily accomplished. Stop wearing your hairpiece.

He’s trying to suggest that the horse is hung like Jon Hamm

Wonder if he had to mention his wife to uphold their contract marriage.

He’s a James Gandolfini who hasn’t died yet and is hot piece of ass. Though personally I love Italian men and would even let morbidly obese James rape me.

That meaning great tv actor with an iconic who somehow can’t translate into a film star.

He ruined his life with alcohol

Since Mad Men he has tried in different genres and been tedious in each. Maybe as he ages further he can do Character work.

The feeling is mutual Jon.

[quote] He could have been the next George Clooney.

He couldn’t though.

I think his most effective work was as the military guy in Top Gun Maverick. It took advantage of his natural stiffness and looks: dark and handsome like Cruise, only darker and more handsome and little of the star power.

He was great in Fargo. I didn't think of him as Don Draper at all. I would like him to start taking more character actor roles. Not everyone needs to be an A-list leading man.

Its funny. I thought he was going to be the next George Clooney too. But then the whole business changed. I think increasingly movie stars are going to be like rockstar/pop divas— a few at the hierarchy but most a flash in the pan/limited to an era.

He was good in the Fletch movie. What ever happened to Jennifer?

Like he had the option.

Hmm, when did he start wearing support underwear?

Yep that hairline looks fake.

Takes a brave man to pose with a horse.

Dataloungers don’t feel sorry for him. I just asked Siri- his net worth is $45 million!

I’ve said this a number of times and I’m going to say it again – if the TV show Mad men have been on HBO then I think we would’ve seen Don Draper’s naked ass and even his cock and balls in an episode or two. A girl can dream can’t she?

R30, How about an HBO reboot?

Most leading men have some boyish about themselves. Pitt, Affleck, Damon even Clooney. There's none of that in Hamm and I think it affects the parts he gets. that said, the drinking hurt his looks. Watch MM at season one and season three, lots of aging in so little time. Bad toupee.

I doubt the hammaconda works, he's a drunk. A sloppy, mean drunk.

His glib attitude about his role in the college hazing makes him repulsive. He used the claw end of a hammer to drag a guy around by his balls. Also set the guy's pants on fire and fractured his spine. He almost lost a kidney. Hamm's response was "yeah it was a bummer".

Lipless creep.

R32 I think what you are referring to is “star” factor. There’s nothing boyish about Affleck or Clooney except when they were young. It’s obvious Jon Hamm was so appealing just because we were feeling nostalgic for that time and he cleaned up nice in a suit with that slick jet black hair. Outside of that he is not appealing. He is not ugly by no means. He is quite good looking but he just doesn’t have it. He is the hot world history teacher of your local high school. He should be grateful he found an iconic role before he got old old.

I've always heard that Jon Hamm is supposedly so smart, but he seems anything but smart in that interview. "And I'm like, shit. You can do it. Y'know?"

Also, he gives us not one but two stories about strangers coming up to him to tell him how incredible he is. Cringeworthy.

R35 blame the Midwest. They aren’t eloquent speakers.

Is he having a sartorial midlife crisis as well

This is Glen Powell in two years.

Wholeheartedly agree r33 but lipless creep had me 😂😂😂

I love him. I don't care what you cunts say. He's always interesting on screen.

r33: Agree with you all the way. He's a fucking sociopath.

I can’t stand his acting tics. He does what I call ‘an incredulous face scrunch’ in so many scenes especially in Mad Men. It’s his go to expression. Watch for it. You could create a drinking game in his honor every time he does it. Many actors have a tic. Another example is George Clooney and tilted head bob.

Horsecock.

I don't get this guy. Mediocre looks. Mediocre acting. Why does he keep getting jobs?. Kathy Griffin mopped him up in her book. He is clearly a prick.

R44 Hamm is many things, but he is NOT mediocre in the looks department.

For those of us attracted to handsome alpha types? He's close to perfect.

He’s not so alpha with that bouffant.

In spite of the fact that he's probably a tool in real life, I just can't help but like a guy that shows up looking like a drunken mess at Wimbledon. His leading man days maybe over, but like his role in Fargo, he does well at the roles in which he's just a complete off the wall freak (he's probably like that in real life). Whatever the case, I'm rooting for him to at least keep it between the ditches while showing up in public looking like a hot mess

Supposedly he made a scene in one of the hospitality tents at Wimbledon when he looked like he just rolled out of bed.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

^At Wimbledon . . .

Back on the sauce, I see.

Is it true he got bitch slapped by Ben Affleck when they filmed The Town?

Reeking of booze and cigarettes. He looks like he’s give you the dirtiest, nastiest fuck of your life (if he could get it up). Sexy.

Why Kathy Griffin Dislikes Jon Hamm

You’ll never convince me to like Jon Hamm,” Griffin writes of the Emmy-winning hunk, 45, in her book. “The vibe I’ve always gotten from him is cold and somewhat disrespectful … toward me. I’m suggesting he’s one of these hot guys who’s mildly funny but actually thinks he’s comedian-level funny.”

Case in point: At an intimate, very starry dinner party hosted by legendary talent agent Sue Mengers, Griffin had her sights set on getting to Jack Nicholson. (Priorities, of course.) “So when Hammy showed up, too, inside I thought, oh great,” she reveals. “He even said to me, ‘What are you doing here?’ I said, ‘I earned my seat at the table. What are you doing here?’”

It was only downhill from there, especially as the Mad Men actor continue to throw back his drinks. While Griffin was discussing Rupert Murdoch with Nicholson, “Hammy picks that moment … to start whispering boozy yammering into my ear,” she admits. “First it was, ‘You know your Emmy isn’t a real Emmy.’ I let that one go, but then he whispered, ‘You’re so o-o-o-old.’”

It’s not necessarily the insult that upset her, either, clarifies Griffin: “Look, I’ve been told I’m old and not funny by a lot of guys — a lot of hot guys, too — but not when I’m in an intimate conversation space with frickin’ Jack Nicholson, an opportunity I figured I’d never get again; that’s the real reason I can’t stand Hammy. The double whammy of cruel but not playful comments and the horrible timing. Again, he’s not a comedian, folks. Hopefully done with the drink, but probably still Don Draper-y.” (Hamm went to rehab in 2015 for alcohol addiction.)

Kathy Griffin is so insufferable. He was flirting with her. He was purposely being drunk cruel sexy. She could have gotten some good dick and is Hamm is notorious for fkin ugly clicks as long as their thin.

He comes off pretty douchey in that article. What’s this about Affleck slapping him?!

Apparently they were trying to talk to the same bimbo and John Hamm was being an obnoxious drunk. He brought up Affleck’s wife and kids.

Gurl fight tonight! That’s almost better than Fabio vs. Clooney!
