Jon Hamm reveals his 'gorgeous' childhood celebrity crush
Jon Hamm had a childhood crush on Jaclyn Smith and Farrah Fawcett.
The 51-year-old actor has admitted he took a fancy to the two Charlie's Angels stars when he was younger, and he couldn't resist approaching Jaclyn when they were at an event together.
Asked who he had a crush on growing up, he told W Magazine: "Farrah Fawcett from Charlie's Angels. Actually, Jaclyn Smith was my favorite Angel.
"I met her about five years ago, and I did the thing that I hate when people do — I came up to her and said, 'I have to say hello. I'm sorry.'
"She couldn't have been more pleasant, and she couldn't have been more gorgeous."
Despite the Mad Men star being a big name in his own right, he admitted he still gets starstruck meeting other celebrities.
He added: "For sure. Jeff Bridges, most recently. I got to work with him in 2018 on Bad Times at the El Royale.
"It was a bucket list moment for me. I had been a fan of his since I was a kid.
"Everybody loves him as the Dude, but I just remember seeing him and another crush of mine, Cybill Shepherd, in The Last Picture Show. That's one of my favorite movies of all time."
Meanwhile, Jon opened up on the admiration he has for reality TV stars, noting that his wife has got him into the Real Housewives franchise.
He said: "My wife turned me on to a lot of these shows, and now I've befriended Andy Cohen, and I get it.
"Beverly Hills, New Jersey, New York — I'll sit there and I will watch it with glee.
"Are they bad actors? I wouldn't want to see them in a fictional thing, but they're good at being themselves on those shows."
And Jon insisted he would never want to swap his life as an actor to simply be himself on screen in that way.
He added: "I can't imagine what that must be like. I wouldn't trade places with them for all the money in the world."

The Mad Men alum revealed he thinks playing a wholesome role would be "kind of boring" and explained he actively enjoys playing "sinner" characters. 'I think people can relate to characters making bad decisions, because we've all made them," Jon, 54, told W Magazine. 'My history of characters isn't exactly the saints; it's more on the sinner side of the equation.' Asked whether his ability to play the bad guy on TV had extended into his real life, Jon joked, "Well, my wife might have an opinion about that'.

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals why she has no fashion regrets
Sarah Jessica Parker has insisted she has no fashion regrets. The Sex and the City star has argued there's no point feeling bad about past style choices, no matter how "unflattering" or "ridiculous. She told W Magazine: "I don't regret any of it, because what's the point? "I'm sure there is a laundry list of things I should be telling you that were mistakes, whoopsie-daisies, wrong, misguided, unflattering. "[But] all of it has been a gift; all of it has been ridiculous. All of it has been exhausting; all of it has been thrilling. "All of it has been like I'm in a world that is just barely based in reality. What is there to regret?" However, the 60-year-old star - who has 15-year-old twin daughters Tabitha and Marion with husband Matthew Broderick - admitted their kids aren't too fussed about borrowing her clothes or shoes at this point. She said: "The sad truth is they don't fit them anymore. Their feet are the wrong size, and it's not going backwards. "Thus far, they're not really raiding my closet or anything... They'll be 16 in June, and they like clothing, but it's not playing an oversize role in their life. "They definitely have ideas about how they want to feel and look when they walk out the door, but they don't seem particularly distracted [by it]." Meanwhile, despite claiming she has no fashion regrets, Sarah did previously admit she made a mistake by wearing a black dress instead of a traditional white wedding gown when she and Matthew tied the knot in 1997. Speaking back in 2016, she told Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen: "I just was too embarrassed to spend any time looking for a wedding dress." And she later admitted to Marie Claire magazine that the couple weren't keen on having the "attention" on them. She said: "I was too embarrassed to get married in white, and both Matthew and I were reluctant to have people pay so much attention to us. Which is ridiculous, because that's when you can relish the attention, when it's natural.'
