Jon Hamm Worked in Porn
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television,
Jon Hamm used to work in the porn industry.
The 40-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Don Draper in Mad Men - took on several different jobs as he struggled to land acting work, with his stint as a set designer on adult movies among the most memorable:
"Essentially, I had to move furniture around sweaty, naked people. It wasn't a great job but the money was useful. I had to get by - I wanted to be an actor. Let me just stress there was no penetration - it was soft-core porn."
Jon - who also worked as a bartender, writer and teacher - considered quitting acting following a "bleak" period where he was rejected for many roles and was dropped by his agent. "It was bleak - that was part of a three-year period where I was solely rejected. I had given myself 'til my 30th birthday. I moved out to LA when I was 25 and I figured if I can't make it in five years of trying, then it's time to pack up."
