In a recent appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” Jon Hamm took the opportunity to address the persistent rumors surrounding his choice of undergarments and the infamous ‘the p-nis thing.' The 51-year-old actor unequivocally stated that he has been a dedicated wearer of underwear throughout his life, dismissing speculations about his alleged penchant for going commando.
During the interview with Howard Stern, Hamm emphatically declared, “I have worn underwear every single day of my life, Howard.
First of all, who doesn't wear underwear?
Yeah, I've worn underwear every day of my life.
With a suit?
Come on.
I love a comfy boxer brief, thank you very much.
I like a breathable cotton.
Who doesn't?”
The conversation stemmed from a 2013 incident on the set of “Mad Men” where crew members reportedly advised Hamm to wear underwear while filming due to the snug fit of the retro-style costumes.
Despite the media frenzy surrounding the topic, Hamm maintained a nonchalant attitude, remarking in an interview with GQ that it was more of a fascination for others rather than himself.
In another instance, Hamm expressed his desire for the public discourse to shift away from discussions about his anatomy, emphasizing the need for privacy.
He candidly shared with Rolling Stone in 2019, “They're called ‘privates' for a reason.
I'm wearing pants, for f – -k‘s sake.
Lay off.
I mean, it's not like I'm a f – – king lead miner.
There are harder jobs in the world — but when people feel the freedom to create Tumblr accounts about my c – – k, I feel like that wasn't part of the deal … But whatever.
I guess it's better than being called out for the opposite.”
During his appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show, Hamm also revealed his preference for boxer briefs, dispelling any lingering doubts about his underwear choices.
The actor visited the show to promote his upcoming film “Confess, Fletch,” co-starring fellow “Mad Men” actor John Slattery, which is scheduled to premiere on Showtime on October 28th.
