[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was his ex, Jennifer Westfeldt, who didn't want kids. He did: https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jon-hamm-jennifer-westfeldt-why-they-split-201599/

Westfeldt likes her life as a working actor and director, she's passionate about her artistic projects, and she has no particular desire to have children. I think people sometimes get this wrong because she made a movie with Adam Scott (Friends with Kids) where she played a woman who wants kids enough that she has a baby with her best friend. But it was fiction, and a role. She doesn't want kids.

So Hamm saying he wants kids with his younger girlfriend now is in keeping with what he said his priorities were when he and Westfeldt split. You'll notice Westfeldt is still happily childless even though she could have adopted or done IVF with a sperm donor since their split. She didn't. She doesn't want kids.

I do hope Hamm deals with his drinking problem and any other issues before he has children with anyone. [b]I have a soft spot for him because I think his drinking issues are largely driven by the way he went from virtual unknown actor nearing middle age to super hot leading man, while starring on an AMC television show.[/b] It's an unusual path and his work and income has never quite matched up with his public perception as a Clooney-esque figure. I think he's struggle to adjust to fame and there is a part of him who wishes he still had Westfeldt's semi-obscurity -- she gets to just make little movies and do theater or television projects while living a largely normal life (albeit a great one). Hamm left that behind and is now too recognizable and high profile to have that. Plus their breakup meant he also lost the most stabilizing influence in his life. I'm glad he's found someone new and seems to be happy with her.

Hamm/Westfeldt have long been one of my favorite actor couples and I wish them both nothing but the best.[/quote]

His drinking stems from the fact that his single mom died when he was 10. [b]Then Hamm was sent to live with his estranged emotionally unavailable father who had no idea how to talk to him.[/b]

Hamm is pretty much Don Draper IRL. That's a big reason why Weiner selected him for the role.

Listen to the Howard Stern interview; it's really good.[/quote]

And who also promptly died when he was 20.
This exactly. Old childhood traumas. [/quote]
