HOT. DAMN.  Jon Hamm looks smoking hot on the October issue of Details Magazine. He talks about acting in his high school days:

“I never minded standing up and looking like an idiot, which is tremendously helpful in this industry.”

He is okay with the fact that his success wasn’t an ‘overnight’ thing:

“Absolutely, I don’t know how the Twilight kids or Miley Cyrus handle it.  You make one bad decision and people in Thailand Twitter about it.”

Lol. That’s so funny.  And true.  When I first got on Twitter I had a ‘Jon Hamm‘ following me and I squealed like a pig for days thinking it was actually him.  I’m going to convince myself it was and that he has since gotten too busy to keep up with Twitter (the account no longer exists).

He talks about his new movie ‘The Town’:

“It’s almost like an old Hollywood movie. It’s got a love story, it’s got a crime element, but it’s very much for adults,” “There’s not a lot of candy for the Twitter-obsessed.  It just deals with adult shit- no werewolves, no vampires.  Yet … they’re retooling it for 3D.”

He talks about how the business has changed and how easy it is for people to make a name for themselves:

“L.A. represents opportunity. And, as has been proven over and over in the current media landscape, it doesn’t take much for them to put you on TV.  If that’s all you want you can just be on The Bachelor or The Real Housewives or whatever show just wants oversized personalities, ridiculous behavior and zero dignity.”

“When you try to learn how to act, you approach it with respect.  But if you just want to be famous…that’s not much different than porn.  ‘I’m a movie star!’ Well, no, no you’re not. You’re a porn star, and that’s completely different.”

Damn.  I love this man more and more.

Despite the success of Mad Men, it’s not enough:

“I do this show for four months of the year. I can’t live on it—I gotta keep hustling.”

“I went right from the show into The Town, working with Ben Affleck for six weeks up in Boston,” he says. “Then right from that up to Canada to shoot a little part in Sucker Punch with Zack Snyder, who did Watchmen and 300. This guy is a genius-level-weird artist. It was just amazing—a-mazing—how much energy he puts into it day to day, how excited he was about it. This guy is totally inspirational, in every way. It was like, ‘I’m on board! Let’s do it! Fuck it! Fuck, let’s do it!’”
