In recent times, the name Jon Hamm has become closely linked with the term “bulge.”
A simple online search for the Mad Men actor confirms this association, and it appears that those involved in Hamm’s popular AMC TV series are not letting him live down his past wardrobe mishaps.
According to a source from New York Daily News’ Confidenti@l, an insider at AMC revealed that the “well-endowed” actor was advised to wear underwear during specific scenes of the 1960s television show due to the snug attire of that era.
“The setting of this season is in the 1960s, where clothing is quite fitted and leaves little to the imagination,” mentioned the source.
Moreover, it was noted that “Jon’s remarkable physique is so attention-grabbing that they politely requested him to wear undergarments.”
Hamm’s notable anatomy caused such a stir that the show’s marketing team had to digitally alter numerous billboards, promotional posters, and advertising campaigns associated with the series due to the prominent presence of Jon Jr.
“Just picture how distracting that could be on the side of a bus or a building,” remarked an unnamed insider.
“When the promotional materials returned during the initial seasons, adjustments were necessary.
While everyone was concerned about excessive exposure of Christina Hendricks’ assets, it is Jon who steals the show.
It’s a unique challenge to tackle.”
However, Hamm’s representative begs to differ regarding the portrayal of his physical attributes as a “unique challenge,” stating, “It is absurd and hardly amusing.
It would be appreciated if a mature approach could be taken instead of resorting to such childish topics that have been extensively covered online.”
Although one could engage in a debate weighing the pros and cons of Hamm’s, well, “Ham,” it is evident that the actor does not shy away from flaunting his natural endowment.
In September last year, Hamm and his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt, were photographed during a shopping excursion at Barneys, where the true star of the image became apparent (yes, his bulge).
Shortly after, he repeated the fashion faux pas by stepping out in some overly snug pants.
“Jon is a well-endowed man, but occasionally it can be quite distracting,” remarked an insider regarding the incident.
Indeed, Jon Hamm’s physical stature continues to draw attention, both on-screen and off,
