Jon Hamm – very, very well-endowed Mad Men actor – wasn’t ready to lose his virginity.
His story – a common one – is pretty cringeworthy, too.
During an interview with Elle, Hamm was asked about what he’d do differently about losing his all-important V-card.
His response?
Approximately the same response from any number of people who could be polled.
“I don’t know,” he laughed. “Everything.”
“There’s no version of it that’s not awkward.”
“Let’s put it this way: as much as I had practiced, I was still not quite ready for game time.”
Been there, Hammdong.
He went on to admit that he didn’t lose his virginity at a young age, like many of his contemporaries.
“I was in college,” he revealed.
“I was 19 [years old].”
As for his current love life, Hamm broke up with his long-time ex, Jennifer Westfeldt a year ago.
However, he has been linked to January Jones (AKA She of the Icicle Vadge) several times, so that might contribute to his awkwardness in talking about sex.
With regard to his college days, though, it wasn’t just the sex that was bad.
Hamm was arrested for a frat hazing, which left its victim “brutally beaten and molested.”
The victim was said to have endured a paddling to his genitals (OMG NO) more than 30 times and “suffered great pain.”
As for Hamm’s part, he reportedly “hooked a claw hammer under the pledge’s genitals.
Then he lit the victim’s pant leg on fire, and refused the pledge to put the fire out.
In 2015, prior to his breakup with Westfeldt, Hamm completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol addiction.
About rehab, Hamm released a statement, which read “With the support of his long-time partner, Jennifer Westfeldt,” John Hamm recently completed treatment for his alcohol addiction.”
Hamm had been candid in the past about his “chronic” struggle with depression, which could have led to his substance abuse issues.
About his depression, Hamm said, “I struggled with chronic depression.”
“I was in bad shape.”
“Anti-depressants help!” he said.
“if you can change your brain chemistry enough to think, ‘I want to get up in the morning; I don’t want to sleep until four in the afternoon. I want to get up and go do my s–t and go to work.’ “
Good to see Hammdong’s working through his demons.
Now if we could just see more of him … both literally and figuratively.
