Getting an interview with Mad Men star Jon Hamm last evening at the Best Life magazine party at Michael's was kin to acquiring an interview with the Pope, as his flacks fussed and hovered, and nearly finished our �We met Don Draper!� bit. Even so, we managed to pinch in a few questions. (Yes, we know we just ran a Jon Hamm Q&A a month ago, only he's Don Draper!)
What ar you running on at the moment?
I�m working on relaxing. I just finished shooting season two last night, and I got on a red-eye and got here so now I�m working on absolutely nothing. We slept all day.
So you�re gonna be up all night?
Why non? I make nothing to do! It�s kind of great!
The exhibit feels identical authentic � what do you do to make it that way?
Fortunately in our prove we don�t have a lot of signifiers. We don�t talk in the old-timey voice, and we don�t get that kind of thing so it�s easy to be as natural as you privy. But about of the things we have on set ar vintage � you know, the eyeglasses are small and the drinks ar old-timey so that really helps, and all of our clothes are time of origin so that helps.
A lot of scenes end with Don Draper brooding and staring into space. What�s he mentation about?
Well, envisage being this guy, he�s lied around his integral life, so I think he�s got a lot to think about, essentially, What�s my next mo? What�s my next hour? Who do I have to rest to next?
Is that what you�re thinking about?
I�m thought about when�s lunch?
What�s passing to bechance with Rachel Menken and Draper?
Well, we just saw Rachel make another show this season, so I don�t know. It�s interesting because in that location are deuce levels: I love Maggie Siff as an actress and she�s a wondrous person, only she has her own career. She�s in a show that�s coming extinct called Sons of Anarchy so we unfortunately have lost our exclusive charter on her, but she will hopefully be sexual climax back. It�s New York City. You run into the same people once again and again.
Do you think they�re somebody mates?
I do, in a weird way. I think that Don recognizes that and wishes he had it, and true to the predominant theme of our show, he misses out on it and is sad.
How is smoke herbal cigarettes?
Terrible. They taste like a mixture 'tween pot and soap.
Does anyone on set smoke actual ones?
Some citizenry do, just not to the extent that we smoke the fake ones or else we�d all be dead.
Doesn�t it make the adjust stink? Your clothes, your hair?
Yeah, and I wear contacts and it dries out your eyes and your skin, so it�s a drag, But it looks literal and it looks really cool so�
So you come home from work and smell like you�ve been out at a bar all night?
Well, that�s non that far away from the sojourner Truth, you know?
