‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ star Jon Hamm admits he showed his real butt in nude scene
Jon Hamm is giving fans a look behind the curtain of his new show.
During a recent interview on “Radio Andy,” the 55-year-old actor spoke about “Your Friends & Neighbors,” more specifically about whether he used a butt double when his backside was on-screen for “the first six and a half minutes” of a Season 2 episode.
“It’s my real butt, I think,” Hamm told the host.
When asked by hosts Andy Cohen and Jonah Hill, if he did anything to prepare for the scene, Hamm joked that he didn’t do much and said that he was relying on post-production to smooth any blemishes during the editing process.
Hamm’s role as Andrew Cooper in the hit Apple TV + show is by no means his first big gig in Hollywood, but there was a time after the actor first moved to Los Angeles when he struggled to find work.
“I wasn’t working but I was auditioning like a million auditions and I kept getting called back,” he said during an appearance on “In Depth with Graham Bensinger” in July 2025. “The idea of somebody saying like, ‘Oh, I like you. You might not be for this thing, but you know, there’s there’s going to be another thing.’ And so I had that kind of feedback from casting directors and producers and directors and people like that. And I was like, ‘Okay.'”
He went on to say that “you have to have a pretty thick skin to do anything in this business” and that while there is sometimes a “rhyme or reason” to how things go, other times “you just get blind lucky.”
Hamm spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about that period of time when he was struggling to book roles, saying he “just didn’t fit.”
“I was the guy who was 25 but looked 35. It’s like I fell between two barstools,” he said. “I mean, I didn’t look like I was in high school when I was in high school. I don’t know if it was losing my parents, but I looked older.”
He went on to explain that losing both of his parents at a younger age than most gives you “a different sensibility,” and “a different outlook or approach to life,” which makes you appear “older than your years.” Hamm’s mother died when he was about 10 and his father died when he was around 20 years old.
Hamm went on to land the lead role in the AMC series “Mad Men,” when he was 35, playing Don Draper for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. The role earned him 12 Emmy Award nominations, including one win, as well as six Golden Globe nominations with two wins.
“My friends that have parents that are still married or still alive, and it’s not a judgment either way, it’s just different,” he explained. “It’s a different way of going through life, and I don’t really wear it on my sleeve, but obviously Matt picked up on that, and it worked for Don Draper, for sure. There was something haunted in Don.”

He has since starred in a number of successful projects, including “Bridesmaids,” “Fargo,” “Landman” and others. When speaking about his success, Hamm has often called himself a late bloomer, telling AARP, “I’ve always been a half a generation behind all my friends in everything.”
Despite success coming later in his life, he told Graham Bensinger in the 2025 podcast appearance, “I only know one way of how I’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten.”
“I can’t imagine what it would be like, especially now in an always-on kind of always hyperconnected, always oversharing way, what it would be like to have to manage success and a career and everything at in my 20s,” he said. “I know I was not prepared for it. I look at these kids who are winning awards and being exceptional, and I think I could barely do my laundry when I was in my 20s. Like I just wasn’t equipped.”
Prior to moving to Los Angeles, Hamm spent 12 years working as a waiter in St. Louis, previously telling Wealthsimple that “working in a restaurant is a good life lesson for anybody.”
The actor explained that his friend “used to say no one should be able to work in Hollywood if they haven’t worked in a restaurant” adding that it can quickly teach someone “what a difference a little bit of kindness and common courtesy can make for people.”
“It’s important to know how to treat people, and to learn how to respond when someone you’re working with is having a bad day,” he said. “Understanding other people’s problems is the cornerstone of the service industry, and it’s essential as an actor. Or whatever field you’re in.”
He has found success in more ways than one. Following an episode of “Your Friends and Neighbors” in which his character can be seen letting loose in a club, the actor became a viral online meme.
Fans of the show took the clip, which features Hamm with an injured face closing his eyes and swaying to the music, and turned it into an online sensation, with captions such as “When life is falling apart but this song hits” and “Coping but make it aesthetic.”
“Now, people don’t realize I have several active injuries on my face. Where I’ve just been beaten up in the show, but I was having a moment in the club, and the first person to send me this meme was Brian Williams of all people,” he told Jimmy Fallon on an episode of “The Tonight Show.” “Who sent me a text and was like, ‘I think you should be aware of this.’”
Hamm, who has been known as “the internet’s boyfriend” since his days on “Mad Men,” married actress Anna Osceola, who is 17 years his junior, in June 2023.

The two first met in 2015 on the set of “Mad Men,” but did not spark relationship rumors until 2020, ultimately making their red carpet debut in March 2022 at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The couple now work together on “Your Friends and Neighbors.”
“It was great to have my wife, Anna, come in and be a part of it,” Hamm told People. “It’s fun to go to work together. We get to bring the dog in as well sometimes, so that’s nice. We save money on dog sitting.”

Country singer Mark Chesnutt says alcoholism ‘almost killed’ him, admits he drank a handle of vodka a day
Mark Chesnutt’s alcoholism nearly cost him his life.
During an appearance on the “Big D & Bubba” radio show last week, the “Brother Jukebox” singer, 62, got candid about the pitfalls of his addiction, admitting that he was once drinking a handle of vodka a day in order to cope, and explained how he managed to find sobriety.
“I quit drinking, and that was a big deal for me. That was a huge thing for me. It just about killed me,” he said. “There’s no other way to say it. It almost killed me.”
“I went through a period there that was really bad after my back surgery [in 2021]. I just sat around and drank all the time,” he continued. “That’s all I could do. I couldn’t eat. I was pretty — I was miserable all the time. I started out drinking beer. That was mostly what I drank. I drank beer and some whiskey every now and then … and then I got to drinking wine … And then I graduated to the vodka and started hitting the vodka really, really hard.”
“Me and ol’ Tito’s, best friends for a long time,” he said.
When asked how much vodka he’d go through in a day, he admitted, “I’d go through about a handle… It got bad.”
Chesnutt said he feels better now than he did when he was a younger “drunk” in his 20s and 30s.
“When you get older, you slow down a little bit. And we don’t have the energy we had when we were in our 30s, 40s, 20s,” he said. “But actually, that’s what they tell me I’m supposed to feel like, but I don’t feel like that. I feel like I have more energy than I had when I was in my 30s.”

“Because when I was in my 30s, I was drinking a lot. In my 40s, I was drinking a lot. 50s I was drinking way too much. And so, that’s when I quit. And I couldn’t get on stage and do what I did when I was drunk when I was younger. I wasn’t a functioning drunk anymore. I was just a drunk,” he said with a laugh.
“I feel so good now, man. I wake up every day and thank the good Lord that I’m still kicking,” he added.

In 2024, Chesnutt shared a health update on social media and thanked his followers for their unwavering support.
“Well folks, doc says I got a new heart!,” the caption read. “I’m recovering comfortably at home with my family. Today we sat on the porch just soaking in the sun and that beautiful Texas weather. But I can’t wait to get back to pickin’ and singin’ with all my favorite fans! Thank you for all the well-wishes and prayers. They have helped and meant the world to me in my time of need. I appreciate you all so very much. See yuh soon!”

One week prior, the country music star was hospitalized before undergoing emergency quadruple bypass surgery, according to an Instagram post shared by his team, and was forced to cancel some shows.
“Mark Chesnutt, one of the most signatured country music voices of the 90s and a honky tonk mainstay for more than three decades, experienced a heart health issue over the weekend that hospitalized him Sunday evening, June 16; Mark underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery,” the post read.
In October 2025, Chesnutt canceled another string of concerts after being hospitalized.
“Mark was admitted to Baton Rouge General Hospital Thursday morning after his flight arrived for the concert with Alabama,” Chesnutt’s rep told Fox News Digital. “He is still in the hospital today for testing on a low sodium count and very high blood pressure. He is stable.”
On the “Big D & Bubba” radio show, he gave an update, saying, “I feel good now. After the heart surgery thing I felt like… It’s been rough. I put my body through a lot. And I paid for it. But you know, I feel a lot better.”
WWE star Kit Wilson needed to go through some character changes before he was featured again on “Friday Night SmackDown.”
He lost his Pretty Deadly tag team partner due to a serious injury, and needed to start a singles run of his own. While the recent run hasn’t yielded any championships as of yet, he’s been able to garner attention in a way that hasn’t really been seen before on WWE TV.

Wilson’s gimmick calls out toxic masculinity among his fellow pro wrestlers. He reads poetry, writes in his journal and puts “toxic” superstars on notice.
He told Fox News Digital he believed “things are looking up.”
“I’m feeling pretty good,” Wilson said before WrestleMania 42. “You know, obviously, it came from a sad place, it came from a dark place, losing my tag-team partner. He’s out injured at the moment. I miss him. I hope for him to be back. But yeah, we’re on a trajectory right now. We’re on a singles run right now. Things are looking up.
“I’m feeling more confident than ever. I’m more passionate than ever. I’m feeling this fire within me. And look, things haven’t been going my way. I’ve been losing. I’ve been losing. I’ve been cursed. I’ve been cursed. I’m feeling so good, I’m pushing forward. I’m pushing all the way to the top and I’m not stopping until I get to the top.”
Wilson’s character has caught on so much that he’s been able to bring in some new fans.

The average sports fan who may not be interested in WWE or is passing through SmackDown while channel flipping has been able to stop and see Wilson in action.
“I do think that is something that is very big and important to me. When I started, there was a lot of people who I looked up to that weren’t the stereotypical people. I didn’t like the kind of ‘bad a–,’ I didn’t like the bold, aggressive, angry man for no reason. I liked the vibrant characters. When I started on the independent scene in the UK, Noam Dar – who is now in NXT – I looked up to him so much because I felt like I related to him more.
“So, for me to be able to be doing this specific character right now, this Kit Wilson era, it’s kind of inspiring because who maybe see themselves through it because it’s not the stereotypical aggressive, angry, ‘toxic,’ man, yeah, I feel really good about that.”
Wilson wasn’t scheduled in a match at WrestleMania 42, but he did appear in a segment with John Cena, The Miz and Danhausen.
Unfortunately, it ended with Danhausen’s allies punching him in the groin.
Still, to go from a mid-card singles competitor to being involved in WrestleMania in any regard is huge achievement in its own right.
