February 2023 - news - Jon Hamm

Mr Hamm interview by CNN about Hellmann’s commercial

Mr Hamm will appear in a Hellmann’s Super Bowl ad, he said because the company’s message was to encourage "viewers to get creative in the kitchen" and limit food waste.

It meant a day’s work alongside Brie Larson and Pete Davidson. Hamm in the ad plays the ham in a ham and brie sandwich, while Larson plays the brie of course. Davidson plays a hungry guy opening his fridge.

I’ve been saddled with the last name Hamm since I came into existence,” Hamm told CNN in a recent interview. “It’s always been an easy go-to for making fun of myself. But having Pete actually ingest me was a completely different kettle of fish, I’m mixing metaphors left and right here, but it was super fun.”

Hamm said he was drawn to the campaign’s aim to reduce food waste based on what he observed working in the restaurant industry for many years while pursuing an acting career.

Seeing how much food actually gets wasted in a day is kind of heartbreaking,” Hamm said. “We have a very weird relationship with food storage and food purchasing and the result is the tremendous amount of food waste, especially on Super Bowl Sunday.”

Hamm, who also does voiceover work for other brands, said he looks for projects he can “either have fun with or that is meaningful in some way to me.”

Having played a fictional advertising executive for many years, I have a certain amount of respect for the game,” he added.

The “Mad Men” star said he enjoyed collaborating with Davidson and Larson.

“I know Pete quite well, and he’s a lovely guy,” he said, adding that he’s been a fan of Larson and her work “for a long time.”

Hamm spoke to CNN from his hotel room in the Calgary area, where he is currently shooting Season 5 of “Fargo.”

It’s a good season, It’s gonna be an exciting one,” Hamm said, adding that he also just wrapped Season 3 of “The Morning Show,” alongside his friend Jennifer Aniston.

He’ll be watching Sunday’s game from Canada, he said, and has a vested interest because Kansas City is his team.

“But I mostly just tune in for the commercials,” he quipped.

I recently caught up with Maron to discuss his new HBO comedy special From Bleak To Dark. When reflecting on the early days of his now-famous podcast, he said this:
You know, there are moments in the driveway, you know, walking into the garage back in the day. They're always kind of funny at the beginning because, you know, because podcasting was relatively new and most people had not been to Highland Park. So I got a lot of fairly big stars going, ‘Where the hell am I?’ … I remember when (Bryan) Cranston was coming in, he was sort of like, ‘What is this?’ And I'm like, ‘Hamm was here, I had Jon Hamm,’ and he was like, ‘Oh, Hamm did it? OK.’
So it sounds like the Hamm seal of approval made Bryan Cranston feel more comfortable about venturing into Marc Maron’s garage.

EXCLUSIVE: Maggie Moore(s), the film which marks the reunions of Mad Men duo Jon Hamm and John Slattery and 30 Rock couple Hamm and Tina Fey, has sold to Screen Media for North America. Slattery directs Hamm and Fey in the true-crime-inspired thriller written by Paul Bernbaum.
Screen Media is planning a theatrical release in June, followed by a digital release later that month.
In Maggie Moore(s), when two women with the same name are murdered days apart, small-town police chief Jordan Sanders (Hamm) finds himself wading through an unlikely collection of cheating husbands, lonely hearts, nosy neighbors and contract killers in an effort to put the pieces of the case, and his life, together.
..... 
We’re excited to work with John and all the immense talent involved with the film,” added David Fannon, chief acquisitions and distribution officer at Screen Media parent company Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.“With an incredible ensemble cast led by Jon Hamm and Tina Fey, the film is a wild, true crime-inspired ride that will keep audiences guessing until the end. It’s exactly the type of original content that Screen Media aspires to bring to our audiences.”
Mr Hamm and miss Osceola are engaged. 
The Confess Fletch costars are set to wed after two years of dating, PEOPLE confirms. The pair first reportedly met on the set of the AMC series Mad Men in 2015, before being spotted together on several occasions and romantically linked in 2020. 

2 hypothesis : 

1)he really met her on the set in 2014.

2)he knew her before and as one of the producer, he gave her a part.... between 2015-2020, he trolled the media about being single, because he gave many interviews about his "strong relationship" with Westfeldt .

About Fargo season 5 and his role....

According to the official synopsis for Fargo season 5 which dropped in August, Hamm will portray a North Dakota sheriff searching for Dot, your bog-standard Midwestern housewife, played by Ted Lasso's Juno Temple. The twist: she has a criminal past which rears its ugly head, hence the cop chase of it all. Roy, for his part, sounds kinda like Javert from Les Mis. “A rancher, preacher and a constitutional lawman, Roy  that he is the law and therefore is above the law.” Talk about ego trip.

Hamm will play a sheriff called Roy Tillman (not quite as cool as Don, is it?) and he will be joined by a vast ensemble including Juno Temple, playing the central mysterious housewife, the Oscar-winning Jennifer Jason Leigh, starring as her mother-in-law, Stranger Things star Joe Keery (sans-shaggy hair) and New Girl’s Lamorne Morris.

It’s just the kind of role the Golden Globe winner seems to have been desperate for since Mad Men ended in 2015. For all his leading man handsomeness, virile charisma and James Stewart-esque ability to deftly manage drama and comedy, Hollywood has left him languishing in largely uninspiring supporting bits.

The season will arrive on Tuesday, 21 November in the U.S. No UK air date has been announced as yet.
