Christina Hendricks about Hamm

It seems like Joan and Don Draper would be a natural pairing for drama, in terms of their natural street savvy and charisma. We’ve watched Elizabeth Moss and Jon Hamm get closer .Do you think that will happen with Don and Joan?
 I hope so. I love working with Jon and it’s true that we haven’t had one-on-one scenes together. But in the moments with just the two of us, people have really responded. He’s such a fine actor. I hope there will be more of that.
 
It was surprising to see him at an AMC after-party. He looked like such a kind and upstanding person. Almost like Atticus Finch, as a fireman! There was none of the weary pathos we see episode to episode.
 Everyone expects him to be Don Draper! You know, he’s so great at comedy too. You take that gel out of his hair (laughter) and he becomes an entirely different guy. It’s a testament to how talented he is.

TVLINE | I wanted to talk about the recent Joan and Don scenes, at the Jaguar dealership and then going out for drinks…. There was such an electricity to them, almost as if we were watching Superman with Wonder Woman. The alpha male with the alpha female. What was it like doing those scene?
 It was great. Jon [Hamm] is such a fine actor, and it’s really fun to do a scene where you just get to look at each other and just have that wonderful dialogue. It’s not about moving around and choreography, you get to just sit there and act this beautiful scene out. And my mom was an extra on set during those scenes, so that was also fun!

The 'Mad Men' actress - who plays Joan Harris on the AMC show - also opened up about her relationship with co-star John Hamm, who plays Don Draper, and admitted she was constantly impressed by his professionalism on set.
"On the last day of shooting, there were a lot of tears that went on until the next morning. Jon Hamm is so professional; he has to work every day, morning to night, and I've never seen him miss a line."

“You could put Christina and January in garbage bags and they would look sexy,” he said in an interview with US TV show Lorraine. “So the fact that they look this sexy has a lot to do with what Janie Bryant, who is our costume designer, puts them in. It is a good look.”

He responds, "I think Christina Hendricks is a beautiful woman, but we live in a culture where the beauty model is significantly different from Christina's silhouette. It shouldn't be -- those of us who live in real life realize, especially as we get older, that beauty isn't just 22 years old, blonde, skinny with big t*ts."
