Jon Hamm Believes He’d Be a ‘Terrible’ Father

Jon Hamm and Jennifer WestfeldtJon Hamm believes he would be a "terrible" father.

The 41-year-old Mad Men actor and partner of 14-years Jennifer Westfeldt have never tried for children - and with good reason according to Jon.

"I'd be a terrible father! I see my friends who have children and I'm like, 'Dude, how are you even upright, much less here at work at 6am?'" he said.

But he admits having a soft spot for his co-star January Jones' six-month-old son Xander. "Xander is cute as a button!" he told Us Weekly.

Jennifer, 42 - who is currently starring alongside Jon in Friends with Kids, which she also directed - has similar ideas when it comes to parenthood: "I've thought about this a lot lately. I never thought I'd be this age and not have kids. But my life has also gone in a million ways I never anticipated. I kept feeling like I'd wake up with absolute clarity, and I haven't. And we have a pretty great life together. The chance that we'll regret it doesn't seem like a compelling enough reason to do it. I may wake up tomorrow with that lighting bolt, and I'll have to scramble to make it happen."

Jon Hamm Won’t Wed

Jon Hamm and Jennifer WestfeldtJon Hamm doesn't feel the need to get married.

The Mad Men star has been with partner Jennifer Westfeldt for 15 years but doesn't think making their union official will make any difference.

"The flip answer is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... The better version of that is that any relationship is a day-in-day-out process. Having a piece of paper serves to remind you of your commitment but we do a pretty good job of reminding each other."

Despite his image as a sex symbol, Jon doesn't consider himself handsome because he still thinks he is "goofy."

"I just don't consider myself handsome. I look at the people in the world that I consider truly handsome, like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Ryan Reynolds, Bradley Cooper - those guys. When I look in the mirror I see my goofy-ass self from when I was a kid. I guess we just all have that deep version of ourselves and it never really goes away."
