Apple CEO Tim Cook and Hamm
 
What do Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, Jon Hamm, Virgil Abloh and myself have in common? We were all inside the Steve Jobs Theatre at Apple Park, Cupertino, this morning as Apple unveiled its latest offerings.  
Over all, the event is a dog-and-pony show for Apple to show off its technological advances....there is nothing like an Apple event in the world of business. There were fancy finger sandwiches, a cheering audience and a few celebrities. What were the actor Jon Hamm and the model Karlie Kloss doing at the event? Good question.

Who would you swipe right on Tinder?
I’ve never been on Tinder. But if I had to, I’d swipe right for Jon Hamm.

Of course, Whittaker’s casting was controversial. At the time she said, “I want to tell the fans not to be scared by my gender.”...though she still gets asked stupid questions. Whittaker told Digital Spy“I didn’t come into Broadchurch saying, ‘I’m playing Beth Latimer as a woman’! No one’s saying to Jon Hamm, ‘Did you play [Don Draper in] Mad Men as a man?’ It’s a weird question!”
After several days of testing, reviewers around the world are sharing their impressions of the redesigned, re-engineered Apple Watch Series 4: 
Men’s Journal
“Honestly, this is really not a commercial for Apple, but more a commercial for cool things I happen to like — and this is one of them — but the fact that they put some thought into making something that basically is looking out for you is a pretty great move.” — Jon Hamm

from press conference for El Royal
Kevin Smith about Hamm as Batman
"I roll deep on Jon Hamm as Batman," Smith said. "I think that's a brilliant idea, I've been saying it for f*cking years, I've been saying it even when they cast Ben I was like 'look, he's great and yeah, he'll do a great job' but f*ck Jon Hamm was right there and stuff."
For Smith, however, Hamm is perfect for the role no matter the story as he feels like the actor fully embodies a perfect Bruce Wayne.
"Oh my god, he's so Bruce Wayne," Smith said. "He's more Bruce Wayne than Bruce Wayne. Like, and put that f*cking suit on that guy or a stunt person? It'll be f*cking fantastic."

The cast is so ... Jon Hamm! Tell me that dude shouldn't play f---ing Batman and Superman.
He totally could.
Both. Same movie. Pay the dude $20 million, let him play both parts. The novelty alone would bring people to see it. Plus, he's a good actor. And he's good-looking.

.....................................................................................
...but Smith offered up an even more interesting role for the “Mad Men” actor—two roles, in fact.
That dude could play Batman and Superman,” said Smith. “That’s the weird thing. You look at him and he’s got a f—ing Superman look, but he’s got a Batman thing going on, too.”
“A few years ago, they were like, ’Let’s do that Batman/Superman movie,'” he continued. “Do it. Hire that mother f—er to play both roles. … He could pull it off. I’d buy it.”
According to Smith, Hamm’s role on the show as Don Draper, creative director of the Sterling Cooper advertising agency, is already a Batman/Bruce Wayne of sorts anyways—so giving him the cape and cowl wouldn’t be much of a stretch.
He’s always brooding on that show. He comes off like Bruce Wayne,” said Smith. “That voice of his—the Don Draper voice—that’s f—ing Batman!”
If you were in an alley and that motherf—er Jon Hamm was wearing that outfit and came up to you and he was like, ’Gimme a cigarette,’ you’d be like, ’Oh my god, I’m going to give up crime… and living!” he laughed.
Think Smith is on to something with Hamm and Batman… and Superman? Let us know what you think in the comment section

As the festival wore on, it was harder for Evans not to repeat himself, and he began trying things he hadn’t tested. He was acting on instinct, he says, and “that meant that—despite having, say, Jon Hamm in front of my camera for just a couple of minutes—I might suddenly flick on the LED, stop down to f/20, open the shutter up to a full second, and shoot a few frames, then go back to where I was before.”
