I seriously doubt he's gay, if he was he'd be out.
The sad eyes though, definitely. His childhood was rough. His parents split when he was 2, his mom died of cancer when he was 10, and his dad died when he was still in college. He was roommates with Paul Rudd in college and Rudd said that his family basically adopted him because he'd always go to the Rudds' house for the holidays (Jon & Paul are still good friends, apparently they're in a large group of guys that do karaoke on a regular basis.) His early acting career was a struggle because he'd look too old for the parts he tried out for, it took him eleven years of doing bit parts here and there before he got Mad Men.

Hooray, someone else who enjoys the Rudd/Hamm relationship! When I found out that Paul Rudd and Jon Hamm knew each other from way back my mind was blown. I love them both so much! Here's an article from a few years ago in which Paul Rudd interviews Jon Hamm and silliness ensues. I also love Jon Hamm for this awesome quotation from this interview with Rebecca Hall:

Thanks for that article! I hadn't seen it yet, I have some reading to do now.
It'd be so awesome if they could somehow get Rudd on to Mad Men. I doubt it'll ever happen though.

Adding to the hotness, he worked for a while as a drama teacher at his old high school here in St. Louis, in part to repay the kindness of his school family after his mother died. (Not that anyone else will care, but he's a graduate of my alma mater, the University of Missouri, yay!) Of course almost none of us really knows anything about the celebs we dish on here, but I really don't think he'd have any problem coming out of the closet if he were gay -- he seems pretty comfortable with himself.

Yeah, I don't think he's gay. He's super devoted to Jennifer Westfeldt (find any interview where he talks about her, it will melt your heart) and they've been together for a really long time, when he wasn't famous enough to need a beard.

I love Jon Hamm, but I don't find him particularly handsome. It's very weird, and I don't quite understand it. It's like all the pieces of the puzzle are there, but they don't fit.

Thanks for sharing the information about Paul Rudd and Jon Hamm's friendship. That is sooo cool. I LOVE Paul Rudd so I feel compelled to love Jon Hamm by extension. LOL.
And I really love hearing stories about journeymen actors that work for years before the right part finally comes along. I'm happy for him. He's amazing as Don Draper. He's made him a truly iconic character.

I think I love that off-screen he seems so different than Don Draper. He seems like a big goofball, or enjoys playing the goofball (like his character on 30 Rock).
I also kinda love that he seems to be friends with Tina Fey, whom I also love.

I had a dream a few weeks ago about making out with Jon Hamm. Damn, did I feel sex-ay after I woke up. He's not even my usual type, but Dream Jon Hamm was so freakin' seductive. That man must get propositioned everywhere he goes.

If Jon Hamm came within ten feet of me I honestly think I'd faint. He's sex personified.
