Jon Hamm is featured in the July issue of Total Film magazine. The Mad Men star has been making guest appearances all over the place, which is great promo, just in time for the new season of the AMC series. During his interview with Total Film, Hamm discussed his love of children, how he handled his parents getting divorced, and of course his infamous Mad Men role. Check out what he had to say below.
On he and wife Jennifer Westfeldt’s movie Friends with Kids:
“What we tried to do was basically make the case that if there are cracks in the relationship, [the] introduction of kids and the stress that brings is going to make those cracks larger.”
On his love of children:
“I love kids. I love other people’s kids because I like being able to give them back at the end of the night.”
On receiving outside support during his parents’ divorce:
“I had very good friends whose parents rallied around. My best friend’s parents sort of became my de facto parents over the years and I still consider them that way.”
On his life advice:
“Just because you stumble doesn’t mean the race is over. Get back up, brush yourself off, keep moving forward. That’s the one thing I tell kids coming out here, kids that are pursuing acting. You’re going to hear ‘no’ a lot so get used to it. If I’m proof of anything, it’s that it just takes one ‘yes’.”"
On his role of ‘Don Draper’ on Mad Men:
“It is a dream job – that is the only way I can really describe it. As an actor, you so rarely get to do something that you like but is also a tremendous boon to your career.”
