how to be a columnist 

What makes a good column? I feel I should warn you before we set out that if I actually had a foolproof, definitive answer to this question, I would not be writing this article. I would be kicking back with a margarita, served by a lightly-bronzed Jon Hamm lookalike somewhere deep in the Cayman Islands

“I’d like everybody to take a moment right now and lower your expectations for this next match,” Jon joked before his match. “Because I am terrible at tennis, which will make it even more fun to watch.”

The event's host, Jon Hamm, squared off against Kodjoe on the court, telling people not to expect much.

"I ran around for about two hours warming up but I am on the low end of expectations. So that will be fun," Hamm said.

For Mexican actress Eiza González, a trip to Austin, Texas might not seem like a major moment. However, the actress, who conquered television in the hit series, From Dusk Till Dawn, was in the southern city to premiere her film Baby Driver alongside actors Jon Hamm and Ansel Elgort...she took the time to enjoy her surroundings, co-stars, and snacks. Here, González shares snaps from her trip, including selfies with the director and of course behind-the-scenes moments of Hamm hamming it up in front of the camera. 

"I couldn’t have asked for a better on-screen hubby. Mr. Hamm is not only an amazing actor but a kind and humble person AND the biggest goofball in the room! Never a dull moment when you are around him."

BNP Paribas Open final between Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka

With tournament owner Larry Ellison joined by Rod Laver, Bill Gates and actors Jon Hamm and Charlize Theron in The Champions' Box, Federer would not fall behind for long. A scorched forehand down-the-line drew proceedings level at 2-all and Federer would consolidate a game later.

What is the craziest thing you’ve done on a shoot?

I did a Rolling Stone shoot that Jon Hamm was the star of. He was lying by the edge of a pool and I was supposed to be floating right next to him. They didn't heat the pool and it was winter. It was so cold I couldn't breath every time I was submersed, so every time I came up all these loud weird noises were coming out of me like gasping and choking. It was pretty awkward and everyone was quiet and felt bad. I felt like a drowned grunting beast in front of Jon Hamm.

actress Judy Greer

“I got to sign someone’s boobs at Comic-Con last year,” she says. “I think you’ve really made it if you have your own action figure and people want you to sign their boobs.” There are other perks as well. “I went to a dinner party recently, now I’m about to name drop, and Jon Hamm was there. He played a role on Archer but we don’t record together so I never get to meet anyone who does it. When I saw him he said, ‘God, I love your work on Archer and I love Archer so much I just wanted to be in it.’ That was so cool. That was a highlight. Jon Hamm and the boob signing.”

March Madness tips from the stars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP7hPZ3qGLQ

 

CinemaCon: Jon Hamm
It's Jon Hamm's favorite time of the year in sports. The former 'Mad Men' star said he's been watching college basketball's March Madness tournament closely, and is ready to cheer on his chosen team in the Final Four next week. "South Carolina is really tough. And they have lock-down defense, so it's going to be interesting to see how Gonzaga handles them. And then UNC-Oregon is just going to be a track meet. It's my favorite thing of the year from the sports perspective, other than the World Series. Because anything can happen. We have so few of those kind of left in sports, where it's like you never know. It just takes a chance, a seat at the table," he said. He'll be rooting for underdogs South Carolina, he adds.

Elisabeth Moss about Hamm

https://aboutactorjonhamm.blogspot.fr/

Why does everybody love Jon Hamm?

 He’s a really nice person, and people respond to that. He has no idea how good he is or what he looks like. That’s fantastic, because if he did, he’d be such an asshole. [Laughs] If you’re a semidecent person, you don’t go around thinking you’re God’s gift.
https://www.timeout.com/newyork/theater/elisabeth-moss-talks-mad-men-broadway-and-feminism

"That episode was ... sort of this eight-day bubble that we existed in, and it was something that you can only really get on television in a series where you have a four-year buildup to that episode. ... Jon [Hamm] and I are really, really, really good friends, and we have a very close relationship.

"And so for the two of us to get to spend that time together off the set, and then also to play those characters in that sort of really pivotal dramatic moment — that evening of their lives — and ... address things that we hadn't talked about in four years. ... You know, the baby, the fact that he knows about the baby ... the fact that people think that it's his baby.

"It really to me is such a beautiful representation of their relationship and their bond — which is not romantic, is not sexual, is an honest-to-goodness friendship. You know, it is just ... two people who love each other, but not in that way."

BE: Well, just because Peggy was supposed to be so intimidated by Don at first.

EM: Oh, yeah! No, I love working with Jon, and he’s such a professional, and he’s a very funny guy. He always makes it really fun. It’s easy to do a scene with someone that good, and I think that there are some things coming…I loved what happened to them over the season, that relationship, and there are things coming up that develop that more. But I think that she has so much respect for him, and he actually has respect for her. And they’re kind of the one honest relationship in the show, as far as neither of them is trying to get something out of the other.

Q.Even on a project like this, your day job still follows you around?

A.Oh, yeah. Rodney [Rothman], one of our writer-producers tried to pitch me a “Mad Men” script like every single day. He kept telling me his “Mad Men” ideas. Obviously, it was a joke. My audition was basically answering questions about Jon Hamm from Nick Stoller and Jonah Hill. Eventually I was like, “Do you guys want me to read for this or should we just keep talking about Jon Hamm?”

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/24/a-few-minutes-with-the-margaret-mead-of-mad-men

OK, you’ve talked me into it. Before I let you go, I do want to ask about the Emmys, which are happening next month. It is an insane thing that Mad Men has never won a performing Emmy. What’s up with this? How can this be?

I know. Speaking objectively, it is difficult for me to understand [specifically] about Jon [Hamm]. Because I just feel that he is Mad Men — he is the show. So it’s difficult for me to understand the sort of reverence that the show is treated with, and then … I don’t get it.

http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/grantland-qa-elisabeth-moss-plus-podcast/

Yes, as Elizabeth Moss will later say to me, losing both his parents surely had an impact on how he plays Don, because how could it not? "Other people could play cool, or drunk, or a philanderer," she says. "But his experience of having lost at an early age is the main reason he is able to bring that deep sadness to Don."

"Jon gets a lot of comparisons to old movie stars like Gary Cooper," Moss says. "They're correct, but not because of the way he looks. To me, what makes him similar to those movie stars is you don't know if they were going to hit you or kiss you or start crying. In 'The Suitcase,' when he breaks down and cries … it was so personal and raw it was almost uncomfortable for me. To see a man who seems to have it all break down like that is so powerful."

The actress reveals she was wracked with nerves when she was invited to Wrigley Field for the honour, so she turned to Hamm, who was once considered for the Major Leagues and still plays the sport in his spare time, to help perfect her throwing skills.

 He took her to New York’s Central Park and Moss is still surprised no one spotted them during their sporting sessions.

 She says, “The only sporty thing I’ve ever done was I threw out the first pitch at a Chicago Cubs game…

 “It’s terrifying and it’s a long way (to throw the ball)… I got Jon Hamm to coach me. He’s a baseball player, so we went to Central Park and he coached me and nobody saw us, which is weird because it’s like, (their Mad Men characters) Don and Peggy playing baseball in Central Park! No one cared.

“He tried to teach me how not to bounce it… It was a lot of follow through… stepping through… It was all about the preparation…”

"I'm really good at Catch Phrase and Heads Up!," she says, referring to two word games that became obsessions on the Mad Men set. But her real talent may lie in the card game Speed, at which her greatest adversary is costar Jon Hamm. "We got into a game that was so intense, we actually didn't play for like a year or two," she explains. "Just basically to preserve our working relationship. It was deemed best." She pauses, then adds: "I did win that game by the way. Just for the record."

at PEOPLE Magazine Awards

"There are many admirable qualities about Jon Hamm. He is exceptionally talented, he's incredibly smart, like, annoyingly so. Like Don has been for Peggy, he has been a mentor, a creative partner, someone who challenged me to be better all the time. All I ever wanted to do for nine years in scenes with him was make him proud of me."

Elisabeth Moss joins us and like all good actresses she chimes in on cue. ‘Don’s prehistoric, but Jon is a very modern man’, she tells me.
‘He’s polite, chivalrous, opens doors for me, even brings coffee for me off set, and I get very much spoilt by him’.

Moss, who is number one on the call sheet of the Hulu drama, has bought donuts for the cast and crew in an effort to lift spirits on this chilly Monday.

“I learned from Jon [Hamm] on ‘Mad Men’ that you do have a responsibility as number one to not only be professional, but to be as positive as you can,” Moss says. Hence the treats for the crew, most of whom had also worked all day Sunday

Elisabeth Moss is looking back at one of the Mad Men scenes she most remembered.

“It all felt very real. I have a very close relationship with Jon,” Moss said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “There was sort of like a mentor-protegé relationship there, very older brother/little sister. And so it meant something to the both of us when we did this scene.”

“That right there is real, that’s actually, those are real tears, which you know, hate to break it to you but often we’re faking it,” Moss pointed out. “He held onto my hand and didn’t let go and then kissed it. None of that was in the script, and he did it on my close-up. That right there is real Jon — the veins in his head, I can see him in that moment.”

What Has Jon Hamm Been Up to Since the Mad Men Finale?

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Jon Hamm every week in a sharp suit and skinny tie, sloshing his way through the ’60s. To those who haven’t been paying attention, it may seem like he went to the North Pole to hang out in the Fortress of Solitude and polish his Emmy award. That’s not so. He’s actually been all over the place, filming a bunch of cameos, silly internet videos, commercials, and, oh, just five movies that are getting ready to premiere. Jon Hamm was not resting on his laurels. And for all of you who missed him, get ready for a whole lotta Hamm.

 

May 2015: As the Mad Men finale airs, Hamm is in Atlanta filming Keeping Up With the Joneses. He plays a CIA agent lying about his life to fit into suburbia. It’s basically the same as Mad Men.

 

September 2015: After winning his first Emmy for the final season of Mad Men, he celebrates the next weekend by playing pickup baseball in a park in Los Angeles with some guy friends. He also agrees to appear as Don Grouper in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants.

 

October 2015: Hamm films a cameo for Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie where he is incidentally responsible for Kate Moss’s drowning. He also starts production on Marjorie Prime, where he plays the holographic version of an elderly woman’s dead husband. Geena Davis plays his daughter, which is weird.

 

November 2015: In the Star Wars Audition video for SNL he tries to rename the character Hamm Solo. He also films Aardvark, where he plays Zachary Quinto’s brother, which is good casting.

 

January 2016: The release of Hamm’s final guest role on Children’s Hospital as Derrick and Arthur Childrens, the illegitimate child of the hospital’s founder and Malin Akerman’s alter ego. (It’s very confusing.) He’s been playing them since 2010. Thanks to an interview on Starz!, the world discovers that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association spelled his name “John Hamm” on one of his two Golden Globes. Get the H out of here.

 

February–May 2016: Hamm is off filming Baby Driver in Atlanta. He plays a former Wall Street trader and party animal who becomes a bank robber.

 

June 2016: He goes right into filming High Wire Act in Tangier, Morocco, where he stars as a diplomat in Beirut in 1980 who has to save a colleague from a terror group. Back in the States, he shocks fans with a tiny, tiny cameo in Rashida Jones’s Angie Tribeca and completely confuses fans in a bizarre wrestling match on The Chris Gethard Show

 

September 2016: The first official Mad Men reunion happens when Hamm hangs out with old co-star January Jones on her new show The Last Man on Earth. While Jones’s Betty Draper only shot at pigeons, her character here gets to shoot Hamm in the chest. That probably felt good for Betty.

 

October 2016: Hamm and Jimmy Fallon premiere their turtle-based soap opera In the Dusk of Night on The Tonight Show. Speaking of premieres, those at the premiere of Nick Kroll and John Mulaney’s Broadway show Oh, Hello notice that their (fictional) understudies are Hamm and John Slattery. Even while doing eight (fictional) shows a week, he still has time to talk to Mr. Porter’s The Journal about his experiences in rehab. To cap off a busy month, he appeared alongside Jake Gyllenhaal at a benefit for Hillary Clinton performing a scene from It Can’t Happen Here. This is all part of the press blitz for Keeping Up With the Joneses, which opens on October 21 and is quickly declared a major bomb.

November 2016: We learn that most people would not like to have a threesome with Jon Hamm and Billy Eichner. Eichner once again addressed the rumors about the size of Hamm’s ham, which might explain why some might not be into one of those threesomes.

 

December 2016: H&R Block unveils a series of commercials where Hamm tells us that we can have “our taxes won.” Many wish their accountants looked just like Jon Hamm. This is Hamm’s first endorsement deal where we actually see him onscreen rather than just hearing his voice purr alongside a Mercedes-Benz.

 

January 2017: Hamm attends the Sundance Film Festival where he has two films premiering: Marjorie Prime and Nostalgia. Marjorie Prime wins the Sloan Feature Film Prize. The world also finally gets to see his SpongeBob SquarePants cameo. Not too tired from partying in Park City, he hosts a gala for the 100 greatest NHL players in Los Angeles.

 

February 2017: The pilot for ABC’s comedy Libby and Malcolm, about a Democratic operative and a Republican politico who get married and blend their families together, films in L.A. Jon Hamm plays himself. No one can do Hamm like Hamm.
