Hamm gives his thoughts on being featured in the movie Million Dollar Arm:

For whatever reason, the story of these pitchers, Rinku and Dinesh—which is a true story, 100 percent—missed me, and I’m a huge baseball fan. Maybe it’s because it happened to the Pirates, whom no one really cared about a few years ago. They were god-awful. Anyway, I loved the script, and googled it.

iopdj6hyijt6h6ipHamm appears on the cover of the first April 2013 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. He talks about playing Don Draper in Mad Men, jokes about his anatomy, and how he feels about there being a Tumblr called Jon Hamm’s Wang.

They’re called ‘privates’ for a reason. I’m wearing pants, for fu*k’s sake. Lay off. I mean, it’s not like I’m a fu*king lead miner. There are harder jobs in the world. But when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my cock, I feel like that wasn’t part of the deal… But whatever. I guess it’s better than being called out for the opposite.
