The Real Draper/ Like A Boss Draper is looking better than ever after my attempts to warm to Slow Draper ™ on the cancelled The Playboy Club. Seriously, how many of you are missing the real Mad Men with the poor imitators filling in the space until it airs 2012? Thank goodness, it’s filming again. Then we can see The Real Draper drink himself to another stomach ulcer and a withered liver while delivering witticisms Jon Hamm has the intelligence to pull off. Back to the point, Hamm was Jennifer Aniston’d on the red carpet when some obnoxious reporter demanded to know why he and longtime girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt don’t have kids. He gave the most well-worded reply to this question I think I’ve ever heard: ‘It’s always on the periphery of the discussion, but we do not have children… And I have a tremendous amount of respect for my friends who do balance this particular career with raising a kid, ’cause it’s a tricky environment to bring them into… So not for us just yet.’ He also talked about winning the part of Draper over another actor… like a boss: ‘I couldn’t have had less heat on me [during the Mad Men audition process]. Nobody knew who I was. The casting directors didn’t know who I was. I wasn’t on anybody’s lists… and they had lists. The funny thing was, I think they went to Thomas Jane for it, and they were told that Thomas Jane does not do television… now starring in Hung, by the way.’
20 photos of Hamm just because it was nice editing pictures of the real thing.
