Mad Men is showing for the first time in the U.K., and there are reviews all over the British press. Here’s a terrific interview in The Guardian that will just stop your heart (perhaps I exaggerate). Hamm is so well-spoken, so compelling, so unlike reading a star interview.
Best reveal: Hamm used to teach after-school daycare for toddlers.
Best quote (about whether he wants kids):
I don’t necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don’t know if it’s for me. I haven’t come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I’m not sure it would be that way for me.
See what I mean about your heart?

That’s a wonderful article! So sad about him losing his mom so suddenly and at such a young age….

I love that he picked up the tab for that reporter’s breakfast, then offered to drive him back to his hotel so he wouldn’t have to take a cab (which is nearly impossible to get in L.A.). That NEVER happens in Hollywood. He seems genuinely nice and really appreciative of his success. Plus he’s hot. Damn…
