'Mad Men' star goes off in Elle UK interview
Add Jon Hamm to the growing list of Hollywood actors who've simply had enough. In a great interview with Elle UK, the Mad Men star pretty much goes off on the entire celebrity culture thing. He calls out Kim Kardashian by name, too.
I can now add "rips Kardashians" to my list of reasons why I simply adore Jon Hamm.Hamm's excellent chat with Elle UK isn't just about the whole Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton obsession - he talks a lot about Mad Men, his struggles as an actor before finding fame and his chemistry with MM co-star January Jones. Trust me, it's going to be worth a read. You can get some of the highlights online now, if you want a preview.
I consider this a gem to keep me satisfied until Mad Men's fifth season starts (March 25, mark calendars) and I finally get to see Don Draper again. If it seems like forever since we've had a Mad Men fix, it has. For now, we can all have a nice chuckle at Hamm's take on Hollywood.
Basically, Jon Hamm has trouble understanding how and why reality TV stars are now gazillionaires. He's not alone. I see you out there shaking your heads! Hamm tells Elle UK, "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated," adding, "Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."
Yikes. Wait, did he just call Kim Kardashian an idiot? Yes, I think he did. Good for him. Someone had to say it.
FYI: Hamm also talks about his (ahem) looks, saying that he doesn't think he's handsome. This might be the only part of the interview where I think he's flat-out wrong.
Can't wait to read this Jon Hamm Elle UK interview in it's entirety, but for now, it's sure getting a LOT of hype. Slam the Kardashians and boom! Instant attention!
