Jon Hamm for Esquire UK

Posted on Mar 30, 2012 in Fashion

The other day, we were, discussing The Hamm’s attractiveness, which is not surprising, since we’ve written and posted about eight thousand words on Mad Men this week alone. Essentially, the consensus Chez T Lo is that while he’s physically very good-looking, neither of us really get weak in the knees for him.

Calm yourselves.

What we mean is, we appreciate his physical self, but he’s so gosh-darn straight that we tend to look at him more like a pretty picture hanging on a wall. It’s not that we can’t or don’t exclaim “Ohmigod, he’s HOT” at the occasional male celebrity of presumably heterosexual leanings, just that if he’s straight, he’s a bauble to pick up and put back down, not something for us to hang our fantasies on.

However, that all goes right out the window when he lets his goofy flag fly.

Mad Men’s Jon Hamm featured in the May 2012 issue of Esquire UK photographed by Peggy Sirota.

Ridiculous. If we had ovaries, they’d be exploding right now.

There’s just something about a devastatingly good-looking man who’d rather be full of personality than spend his time catching the light correctly. We’ll fight you bitches for him.

    double ditto! He’s such a fun, quirky guy that he goes from good-looking to hot in a nanosecond.

  It’s like his role in “30 Rock.” He’s even more gorgeous when he’s a goof.

  That photo is hilarious. It looks like they tried to make him as nerdy as PeeWee Herman, but cute and goofy was as far as it was possible to take it.

He looks like he never takes himself so seriously, which makes him very attractive.

  Exactly…which also makes me love how he plays the character of Don even more, if that makes sense.
  - http://twitter.com/asciident Melissa Brogan
    
    Me too. He’s really not playing himself, which is pretty refreshing.
    - sweatpantalternative
      
      Yeah, my favorite MM episodes are when he plays Don’s younger self. He’s transformative as a bright-eyed, less cynical, happy Don. Then the next scenes the show transitions back to the Don Draper we know. It’s almost instructive to see what good acting really is.
  - CozyCat
    
    I always feel that he doesn’t even look like Don Draper but somehow he DOES look like Dick Whitman.

I want to know what happened to his shoe. That is bothering me! Funny silly pictures– and very cute. I like the laying on the car one the best. And speaking of car, I think my sister had a similar car but different color. The interior looks pretty familiar.

Now THAT”s self-confidence! I’m not sure how many of us regular people, let alone celebrities, would have the confidence to do something like this, and pull it off.
TAGinMO

I’m about 95% with TLo on this. The Hamm does make me a tad weak in the knees even when he’s playing it straight (so to speak), but I’m not sure I’ve ever found him more attractive than when he did the “Jon Hamm’s John Ham” commercial on SNL.

It’s not fair for one man to be that hot and that funny.

This guy is from the Midwest. Self-deprecating humor – especailly from such a good-looking guy – goes down very well in these parts.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=21413366 Evan Hart

It’s that glorious combination… you know he’d make himself look like a complete fool to make you laugh when you were down, and when you got home he’d know just the right way to rock your metaphorical socks off. And, of course, he says lovely feminist things and seems to really respect his SO Jennifer Westfeldt. The Win is just so strong in this one….

Oops. My knees were so weak I’ve fallen to the floor.

The photo of him in the light blue jacket with the car door open….so hot. Yum.

I don’t get the one of him with one-shoe on, hanging out the door. There’s goofy/adorable, but that one just comes across lame/creepy “just got caught masturbating by his mother” to me.

OMG, marvelous. Yes, exploding ovaries.

Anyone else think he looks slimmer here than in other pics/on TV? Photoshop?

  I don’t know, I think he’s been looking slimmer in general lately. There was random talk that he cut down on his drinking, maybe that’s it?
  - ChiliP
    
    Yes, he said he stopped drinking several months ago. He also stopped smoking in his mid 20s…it must be such a change for him to play the constantly boozing/smoking Don Draper.
- miagain
  
  I think he looks a lot slimmer in these pictures… especially in the chest area.

What I love about John Hamm is that he has a sense of humor and doesn’t appear to take himself or the whole celebrity business seriously….and of course, he’s gorgeous!
rivula

Add the way he’s so totally into his girlfriend, Jennifer Westfeldt? Like, genuinely loves, admires, cares for her, and is proud of her, and you can just tell by the way he looks at her? And he used to teach, giving us students like Ellie Kemper? Total package, in my book.

There is absolutely nothing sexier that a devestatingly handsome man who does not take his looks seriously and has a delicious sense of humor. Jon Hamm, George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr, Johnny Depp all do this for me. Cary Grant, too, but unfortunately he’s no longer with us.

I love a sense of humor and when you find a good-looking man who’d rather goof around than show his blue steel, I get weak-kneed. I’ve now added Jon Hamm (who, I always thought was handsome but didn’t ‘make my pants move’) to that list, already occupied with Paul Rudd and Robert Downey, Jr.
- http://profile.yahoo.com/J2VE4NE2FY2BP4QD2XOYKJGLPI Laura
  
  good list. agreed.

  I love that Paul Rudd has been mentioned more than once. I adore that guy. I was jealous of Phoebe when she got to marry him on Friends.
  
  I started to imagine a movie starring Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, and Robert Downey, Jr. but it turned into too much awesomeness, and I almost passed out.

tallgirl1204

He is someone who so totally has a post-Mad Men career in the bag, if he wants it– witness his turns on SNL, and this spread, I would love to see him as a goofball comic heartthrob a la Carey Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace. Not a one-trick pony, I”m thinking.

  He would be AWESOME in a remake of Arsenic and Old Lace. And I love that movie and adore Cary Grant, so that is a statement I do not make lightly.

Do you guys think Jon Hamm is hotter than Joe Manganiello (the other TLo fave as far as I can tell)?

Wow, he’s actually sort of attractive to me in these shots. It’s gotta be the sense of humour so clearly in evidence that I have never seen before. Generally, I just don’t see his appeal but he’s quite charming in these.
miagain

I like him so much for the mere fact that he’s NOT Don Draper. Never taking himself too seriously … and seeing the utter ridiculousness of his situation. He seems to be having the time of his life.
He looks smaller in a lot of these pictures…

He’s about as close to perfect as you can get. I’d love to see him in a Mr. Darcy outfit one day.

Yes, yes, he’s gorgeous and all that, but since seeing him doing a comedic turn in Bridesmaids and in this spread, I have a hard time accepting him as dour Don Draper. I think comedy is where he belongs.
BarniClaw

I wish there were more spreads like these with women who were playing “serious” roles. You know: goofin it up. Like, what if this was..[I don't know, help me out with an example, UBF's...]

It seems like they only let women playing funny women do stuff like this (if they’re lucky). Although, now that I think about it, maybe that’s true for the men, too?

A-dor-a-ble! LUV. I keep telling people who haven’t seen him on 30 Rock or elsewhere that the guy is a comedian and a goofball. hard to imagine from his dark and dour Don Draper that he does so well. I’ll bet this guy is a real gas to hang out with.
- MilaXX
  
  I think seeing him be all goofy humanizes him, whereas when he’s perfectly coiffed in full on Don Draper wear, he just seems too perfect.

  I second this (and wrote something similar before reading this). He was a pretty great self-involved d-bag in Bridesmaids, too.

He’s sexy, cute, and endearing all in one. That is a tough combo to roll into one handsome package. Hee…I said package.

It’s fun to compare/contrast this with the Matt Bonner post from yesterday. These are arguably the two most handsome men on TV today. Well, brunette men (can you call men brunettes?) Because I can’t forget that devastating silver fox, John Slattery, yum! Anyway both shoots are fun but sense of humor is one of my top three attractive traits and both men have that ability to laugh at themselves. Lovely and charming!

“There’s just something about a devastatingly good-looking man who’d rather be full of personality than spend his time catching the light correctly.” That is such a great way to describe him. He doesn’t seem to take himself or the fame over his looks seriously. He always makes me smile because of it.

If my knowledge of Jon Hamm were based only on Mad Men I wouldn’t be that into him, but seeing him on SNL and 30 Rock cemented a lifelong delusional fantasy for me. Oh, how I love him…

Still only aesthetically pleasing in the abstract, here.

But there *is* no male beautifier of greater power than a mobile face & the ability to make me laugh, so I guess I might change my mind if I ever saw him in person. A theory unlikely to ever be tested.

Hahaha, that’s kind of a ridiculous thing to say. It’s FANTASY. Matt Bomer’s gay but there’s no chance in hell anything will happen between us.

ITA — brains and comedy goes way farther with me than looks; I find most people with a pleasing personality have at least some physically attractive quality to hang the chemistry on.

And I also agree with the straight guy thing… Being straight and female, I can’t really get all that hot and bothered for a man I know is gay. I can find them attractive and love their personality (ex: Neil Patrick Harris), but there’s something about knowing that I’m not his preferred gender that just kills a sexual response.

Not too much to ask, is it?

I’m with the cohort who find the humorous approach he brought to this shoot as being the element that ramps the attractiveness quotient into the mesmerizing territory. Well done, Mr. Hamm!

I’m going to post the remarks I put up on Saturday on a website that I have devoted to sending updates to my family and friends (Tom and Lorenzo are subscribers, too!):
    
    I am not alone
    
    I’ve been thinking about this fight for my life and the
    role I play in it. Since I’m a Type A gal who likes to be in charge, I
    think, somehow, that I should be doing more to initiate some sort of
    action against these alien tumors. But, of course, that’s not my job.
    That’s the role that my doctors and their staffs are fulfilling with
    expert professionalism, efficiency and genuine care. What I am is a
    vessel into which powerful anti-cancer drugs are being poured on a
    weekly basis to kill off or shrink the tumors in my abdomen. I present
    my arm, the IV goes in and then so do the meds. By being a compliant
    patient, trying to keep my weight up, being prudently physically active,
    avoiding stress but still contributing at work, and trying to get
    enough sleep (the most vexing challenge right now) I’m doing what I can and
    must do to enable the drugs and my doctors to achieve the best results
    for me.
    
    On Thursday, March 22 I received an information packet from the
    American Cancer Society, and the phrase on the mailing envelope and the
    booklet enclosed made me cry. When I told my sister about it last Friday night, she
    lost it, too.
    
    It reads: “YOU ARE NOT ALONE.”
    
    While
    I know I certainly am not alone in my battle against
    uterine/ovarian/endometrial cancer, these four words just knocked me
    out. My family and friends, my chemosabes, my office family, even my
    hairdresser, the gals at my nail salon, the gang at the Japanese restaurant down the street, and
    the Bitter Kitten community at Tom and Lorenzo’s (TLo) website – your
    encouragement and support tell me daily that I AM NOT ALONE.
    
    Your
    guestbook messages make me smile and give me a dose of happiness that
    is healing medicine, too. To my most recent guestbook posters – I loved your
    notes.
    
    To everyone, I AM NOT ALONE because of you, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
    
    So, all you bitter kittens, poodles, unborn fawns and minions, thanks for pulling for me. I feel it and it feels GOOD.

      That’s lovely, and it’s very true – you are NOT alone! Hugs, sweetie!

      It’s good to hear from you, NDC. I can imagine welling up at those words. It’s a powerful statement, but so true. We’re all here for you and please know you’re in my thoughts and prayers.

This is the best photoshoot of all time. Win win win win!

“There’s just something about a devastatingly good-looking man who’d rather be full of personality than spend his time catching the light correctly.”

In the words of our beloved Casanova, “Exaaaaaccctly!” For at least the past 20 years or so, I’ve realized that there’s nothing I love more than a really attractive person who’s funny as hell. They could coast on their good looks – many many pretty people do. But a gorgeous person who’s funny? YES! That’s someone who’s smart enough to realize that looks fade, but character and personality are forever.

And yes, there’s NOTHING hotter than a handsome man who’s funny. You go ahead and watch some of his hosting gigs on SNL and tell me if you don’t get all warm and twitchy.

Never had a thing for him based on “Mad Men,” then saw him in “Bridesmaids” and developed instant insane crush because he was so hot and funny. This is the BEST. Thanks, boys!

Have you seen the blog Emotions with Jon Hamm? Much more of his cute mug. I suspect these photos will make an appearance there.
Nonnah

Hammtastic!!!!

Very William Holden-esque!
bluefish

He’s very likable and gives the impression of not being in love with himself. I’ve heard and read many people say that Don Draper is the one who turns them on — and that Hamm as Hamm doesn’t quite do it for them. I’d certainly have loved to see him knocking on my door on a Saturday night, ready to take me out to dinner and a movie. There’s something really kind of old-school about him. Breath of fresh air.

LUHV. HIM.
margaret meyers

That scene in Bridesmaids where he’s naming all the sex positions… we all want good-looking, but we also want a man who makes us laugh. So, you keep drinking the Tapatio. It looks good on y o u!

Jon, when you’re done tearing apart that burger, you can start on me.
ArrEssJay

Hetero female here and he does nothing for me. Especially when he opens his mouth. With each interview I read, I just wish he would shut up and play his bastard part.

He’s trying too hard here, and not succeeding.
MichaelStrangeways

A goofy, masculine, handsome man is rare…and HAWT!

I wish he’d eat me like a sandwich.

I don’t get it. I don’t find him sexy *at all*. Neither in Mad Man nor in this editorial. What’s wrong with me?

Following hard on the heels of the Vogue Italia post, this whole thing is like an anti-Matt Bomer spread.

Following hard on the heels of the GQ Italia post, this whole things reads like the Bizarro World version of the Matt Bomer spread. I kinda like it.

He’s always a pleasure to see. Especially when he’s smiling. Hope he always has a sense of humor about it all.

Remember the scene where Don took the kids (and his secretary, Megan) to California with him and he joined them at the swimming pool? When he got into the pool with the kids and started splashing them and then threw Sally into the water the whole Don Draper persona fell away and the goofy Jon Hamm took over and it was like night and day and my love for him firmly took hold. However, when he played Tina Fay’s boyfriend on “30 Rock” I never found him attractive. Not sure what it was, maybe his messy hair since I had fallen in love with him with Brylcreamed hair, but that persona just didn’t do it for me. And sometimes when he smiles really hard his chin causes him to take on a Stan Laurel look. But it will take a lot more for me to stop loving him.

Now I finally get his appeal.

Isn’t he just The Best? Thank you.

It is ridiculous how good looking he is. Considered my ovaries exploded.(although that is kinda gross to think about.)
michelle shields

Oh yeah
Megan Patterson

Why is that hamburger so small!?

You know what I notice- a few of those poses are SO “high-fashion-editorial-model-turned-advert” poses… I’m loving the dig.

Step ASIDE everyone.

Sigh…

I don’t find him remotely attractive at all… it’s a cute photoshoot though!

My ovaries are indeed exploding. I love Hamm because he can make fun of himself and for me, he’s the perfect perfect guy. Funny, not arrogant and ridiculously good-looking.
TieDye64

I love how awkward this guy is on the RC. That may sound like an odd thing to say, but for someone who’s so suave, cynical, controlling and uptight onscreen to appear the polar opposite of that elsewhere makes him endearing to me. Goofballs are lots more fun, no?
Danielle Meyer

WORD.
ThaliaMenninger

LOVE. Little hearts are fluttering around my head right now.
Truly_Outrageous

I so wanna bite of that Hammburger.
mozzer0906

Love It! The photo of him lying on the car is to die for. Love a man who isn’t afraid to be a goofball.
Candigirl1968

Love it!

Golly.
Hanna Choe

That Tapatio picture just made my day.
Beardslee

Wonderful! Charming! He’s not my type either but I love a goofball.

Delicious, and I don’t mean the burger he’s eating.
