Mad Men’s John Slattery (who by the way I would drop my panties for in a heartbeat) has come to the defense of January Jones who continues to get a bad rap for being an ice queen with zero social skills.
Recently the boy that plays her son on the hit show, Jared Gilmore 11, was quoted by TV Guide as saying:
“Be careful around January. She’s not as approachable as the others. She’s really serious about what she does.”
As for the rest of the cast, Gilmore added, “Everyone else is so nice.”
Burn. This comes after Zach Galifianakis recounts a meeting January and says of the meeting:
“It was crazy. I was at a party — I’d never met her — and she was like, ‘Come sit down.’ So I sit at her table and talk for 10 minutes, and she goes, ‘I think it’s time for you to leave now.’”
“So I say, ‘January, you are an actress in a show and everybody’s going to forget about you in a few years, so f*cking be nice,’ and I got up and left. And she thinks that’s funny.’”
Um, wow, right? But her Mad Men co-star John Slattery (did I mention he is panty remover for me?) rides in on a white horse and comes to her defense and says of her character Betty Draper (who I am sickened by):
“Well, it’s an intimidating character,” he said at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Performers Peer Group 2011 Emmys cocktail reception at L.A.’s Sheraton Universal Hotel. “I mean, that’s the character. Betty Draper is an intimidating woman I suppose, if you were a 7-year-old boy [or] her son.”
He admits January is actually a sweetheart and there are no divas on the set.
Perhaps John ‘Panty Remover’ Slattery is just being the gentleman that I imagine him to be (outside of the boudoir kittens), or is this a case of ‘where there is smoke there is fire’. Who knows? Who cares? Hopefully having a baby will humble and defrost the ‘alleged’ ice-queen.
