9 Times Jon Hamm Was a Real-Life Superhero

With Mad Men coming to a close, we're all wondering what the cast will do next. Although futures are still up in the air, one thing is for sure: Jon Hamm won't play a superhero. During an interview with Radio Times, he went on a rant about the genre and randomly, One Direction. "If your last name’s not Hemsworth or you are not in One Direction or you don’t wear a cape and tights for a living, you literally have a hard time making an impression," he pointed out. And though he's been up for "quite a few" superhero movies, he's glad he made the "right decision" to say no — mostly because it leads to many sequels and crossovers, like The Avengers.

"For me to sign on now to do a superhero movie would mean I would be working until I am 50 as that particular superhero," Hamm said (and for the record, he's 43 now). "It’s a lot of work at one thing which is not necessarily the reason I got into the business which is to do many things." Even though we won't see him in the Batmobile, he's still a superhero in my heart. Not for being heroic, necessarily, but for doing amazing and hilarious things like taking selfies with his wax figure (pictured above) and making an '80s show with Jimmy Fallon. Let's relive all of these glorious moments, shall we?
