Belated, but still worth posting: Jon Hamm turned 40 yesterday, and we decided to celebrate the occasion by giving you 40 pictures of him. TGIF, everybody.
Jon Hamm does double duty in Sucker Punch, playing both a high-rolling patron who frequents a cabaret in Emily Browning’s character’s fantasy and a doctor who specializes in lobotomies. Here’s an exclusive portrait of him as the latter.
For more exclusive portraits from Sucker Punch—including shots of Browning in a sexy sailor suit, Vanessa Hudgens with a big gun, and a steampunk zombie German WWI-era soldier—click through to our gallery.
This Week’s Cover: Jon Hamm and Co. gear up for the return of ‘Mad Men’
Watch an exclusive video with Jon Hamm at our Facebook fans only page!
The show typically starts production in the spring and debuts in July, but since AMC and Matthew Weiner haven’t yet made a deal on the upcoming fifth season, the network will probably have to delay the scheduling of the next batch of episodes. Even Jon Hamm isn’t sure when the deal will be set: “We’re still in limbo,” he told EW.
Mad Men wunderkind Michael Ginsberg – a.k.a. actor Ben Feldman – spoke with us about going head to head with Don Draper. Interview highlight:
“It’s imposing,” the actor laughs, “especially when you stand in the elevator next to Jon Hamm, and he’s 35 feet taller than you.”

‘Mad Men’ is returning: Let the countdown (and inevitable drinking games) begin!
What‘s that’s noise you hear? Why, only the divine sound of scotch glasses being clinked together in celebration to the news that Mad Men is finally coming back after what has felt like a seemingly endless hiatus. As we reported yesterday, star/all-around handsome man Jon Hamm stated in an interview that the Emmy-winning AMC series is set to return on March 25.
I’ll drink to that! In fact, in addition to the bevy of Mad Men-associated drinking games out there (this one suggests “Take a sip when you pine for the late Miss Blankenship”) there’s plenty of other ways to pass the time over the next 75 days. Here’s some EW suggestions for your Mad Men countdown:
- If you’re a fan, re-watch all the seasons on DVD, natch. (“The Suitcase” is just as brilliant as you remember it.)
- If you’re a newbie, watch all the seasons on DVD, natch. (Be sure to study up on Pete Campbell’s Bitchface so that you can point them out to seasoned fans while you watch.)
- Drinking games are fun and all, but over the duration of the next 10-and-a-half weeks, you’ll need to eat something, too. Make Mad Men-inspired meals. Alison Brie cheese and crackers, Pete Campbell’s soup, Duck duck, and of course, Jon Hamm ham. (If you’re feeling especially adventurous you could mix Jon Hamm ham with Freddy Rumsen rum for Rum Ham.)
- Start an office pool and/or Mad Men fantasy league. (Team Peggy Olson!) Place your bets accordingly on which season 5 episode Henry will walk out on Betty. (I’m going to take a giant risk and say the premiere.)
- Keep up with the cast member’s other projects. Hamm has been making appearances on IFC’s The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margret and you can watch Christina Hendricks in the brilliant, brutal Drive, which comes out on DVD on Jan. 31. But, fair warning about that last one. What happens to our dear, beautiful Joanie in it is just a little bit worse than what happened to Guy in “Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency.”
- Video games are always a great way to pass the time and, as an added bonus, you can even take your aggression out with Ken Cosgrove and Harry Crane. Aaron Staton and Rich Somner provide voices for L.A. Noire. (Keep your eyes peeled for Michael Gladis, a.k.a. Paul Kinsey, too!)
- Whatever you do, don’t get your countdowns mixed up. While you should definitely still have your Hunger Games countdown (yep, that’s two highly-anticipated pop culture events in the same weekend), mixing your Vodka Gimlet with The Girl Who Was On Fire could prove to be a lethal combination.
Hilarious – but imagine being thisclose to Jon Hamm and not even knowing it. Tragedy!
Important thing #1: Jon Hamm was Ellie Kemper’s 9th grade drama teacher.
Important thing #2: Guest editors Tina Fey and Amy Poehler had Hamm interview Kemper for this week’s issue of EW, and it is predictably delightful.
